Thanks for all of your suggestions. The location is just northeast of Anderson, or about 45 minutes noththeast of Indianapolis or the Castleton area of Indy. A dog and gun sound great to me! Is this in your area? What is a PSL? Is this like a hunter type dog? What is 300...? How many feet? There are some houses but not too close by. You mean a dog spotting them? If so, the dog would have field day for sure! There's raccoons, oppossums, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes (or so they say). The hogs live under an old peg barn that is almost fallen down completely, underneath the wooden floor that is elevated off the ground -- but I don't know if they've dug under there...I assume so. Some might tunnel into the other barn (that is in pretty good shape) but I've seen them walk in and out of that barn also. There have tunneled under the good barn's concrete floor and there is a pile of dirt four feet high in the corner from their digging. The barn lot areas are overgrown, but not so much you can't see to shoot them. This is on 40 acres.

Thanks also bass for the pellet repellent ideas. I will do that if all else fails. The DNR trappers here only trap live and there are other complications with some of these folks. If they trap an animal other than what they are contracted to trap they have chargred me $80 catch and release for a raccoon when that's not what needed tapped.
