Hogs vs. coyotes

Question for you hog experts:
The coyotes on the places I hunt have dried up completely. I would like to think I am a victim of my own success. However, all of these places are now overrun with hogs to the point that I've had to take up hog hunting at the rancher's behest. I've killed 9 hogs over 100 lbs. on my main coyote place since February and haven't even made a dent in the population. The ranchers are seeing zero coyotes, but may see up to 40 hogs in a day out there.

Do hogs run coyotes off of a place?
 
I say no. I seen 4 coyotes yesterday while pig hunting a place that has tons of hogs. They won't hurry to interact with hogs though. They love my kill pile. I have seen two yotes drag a 150 pound pig 60 yards into the cedars. What your seeing is reproduction rate of the hog. Now if they are there doesn't mean they won't get up one morning and walk off your property for months. I say let the yotes rest kill the hogs and when they dry up then go back to yotes.

Yep, and the hogs are tastier than the coyotes any way.

I don't know of the hogs in Texas are like they are here but we can be covered up with hogs and two weeks later they move somewhere else. Enjoy the hogs while it is hot. I have better luck with the coyotes when its cold.

Same scenerio in Texas for the most part.

Funny, those places get kind of upset when you refer to that as
Rat on a Stick. Go figure.

Id beg to differ. while maybe the case in most instances, I did find a small hoglit hoof in some yote [beeep] the other day.

I dont think they run them off, but if it is a really dense pig population could disperse the yotes a little.
