Ways to culll wild pigs without guns

Since I got no where to go until next new years holiday then I find something interesting except fishing and my usual projects at home. In here land of China, wild pigs especially boars have caused huge problem and casualties in recent years because some idiots put all the wild animals into protected list. Now there are over 2 million of them as official said in this month, they are destroying corps, farm land and killing people, nearly 40 people were killed by boars as reported since 2022, the actual number of wounded could be over thousand.

Now China local govt put on rewards for bounty hunters, RMB 2,400 = NZD $545.00 for each wild pig killed, but hunters can `t use any firearms, traps or poisons. So, any thoughts about the approaches of culling them? The reward for each kill is very generous, and this could be an on going project for years and opportunity for people who has the skill and entrepreneurial ideas. So how about it, what you think?

buy a compound bow

depends on what types of traps have been banned

Geez they want them gone but arent making it easy. Have you tried reasoning with the pigs and telling them to stop it.....

Yeah that was my thoughts as well.
We used to Trap a lot of pigs in the wairarapa in a trap that was relatively easy on the pigs.

As far as I know, the steal spring trap can `t be used because it could hurt other animals or human as well digging a hole to trap them.

Look at some American farming YT channels. They have massive pig problems (esp Texas) and they make large steel mesh container traps and bait them with corn. A cell phone sends pictures of whats in the trap, and at a signal the trap closes. Some capture 20 odd pigs at one time . Then you would need a crossbow to kill them.

Dogs and a knife

Go Barry Crump style and put detonators in spuds (potatoes)!

Following on from @Tentman said, what about modified M44 ejectors with pig-specific weighted springs?

From my observations with rules in some of those asian countries they dont have what ifs, just allowed and not allowed and you dont want to be caught doing not allowed

Seems strange that they can't trap pigs yet they have no issues boiling a dog alive and a large proportion of the population have very limited empathy towards animals and conservation fullstop

Spears. The time-honoured way of hunting wild boar.

Yeah. Doing business in a highly regulated country like communist China is hard for commoners. Actually I do `t want to do any biz in China, in fact I have retired in China at my 40s. To bring this topic up is just because I need to fill the gap between now and Feb 2025.

Well eating dogs in fact in China is not a very popular thing, only in few territories in south west and somewhere near North Korea border and central area. If you know about China, then you will know what kind of person are eating dogs, they are all lowlifes....no matter how rich they are. The majority of Chinese do `t eat dogs, and we treat dogs as the way as western people. Me, actually I am still afraid of dogs, even the little one that is your hunting mate. But, I really like to have one once I can.
For the wild pigs issue, that `s a long story to tell, and there are too many similar stories in this F...land.

Two teams has geared up to the west after they got permit as far as I know from today. They are using dogs with GPS, and drones. But to train a group of dogs for hunting, it will take time and practices right? You can `t simply put together a group of mean dogs to go hunting, small animals maybe, but against over 200lbs pigs.....

It depends on what you mean by traps. Here a pig trap is a simple pen with either a animal self activated or much better, a remote human controlled gate. They dont have any specific "animal welfare" issues like leg catch or snare type traps. With the right system it should be possible to kill the captured beasties with some sort of tent system and the right gas . ... .

At that price per kill, i see an opportunity for some kiwi pig hunters and their dogs.....
if only getting the dogs over there would be easy.

Can you imaging a couple rough as pig hunters getting into an argument with the some local big cheese!

I know the trap you meant with gates but pigs look like a stupid animal, actually they are smart than we think. Besides, since govt ban traps that means all traps.

Yeah I do. You are the only one so far getting the point:) Do `t forget, there will be me in between....for nearly 20 years what I do in China is helping the foreign companies doing biz in China. But everyone has the limit, for me is the drinking. I do drink everyday, but I can `t drink that much over a "normal" dinner table with Chinese drinkers. 500cc bottle of whiskey in 90 mins, I can `t do it. ;)

They wouldnt give a fuk who you are or how rough you are over there, push too far youll disapear
