that sound like the way I read it to be.
baiting is not realy a problem becuase you are not going to put any thing out that bovine will eat. how ever you will be drawing in bear. Note bear also carry the same deseases as swine.
if you see a wild boar they dont travel far, so if one is spotted or you find their tracks they are not far away.
I would target farm more so than state land, most state lands the hogs have been run off during deer season, not from being hunted but from sheer number of poeple in the woods.
remember hogs are not stupid, they are vary inteligent but still they are lazy they wont leave an area that food and water is available unless chased. in which case it may not return any time soon.
since we are only talking about a few head of swine and not to any great number where there are car/pig axidents, I would rather be on a call list or email list that when one is spotted in a regeon I get a notification so that I can talk to a farmer in the area where I can set up a stake out.
but since you know where there are a couple hiding in the hollar. sounds like you are in good shape. just remember not to shoot a squirl or rabit with a deer rifle becuse you will be prosicuted.... so if you want to be able to shoot long ear chicken pack a shot gun and carry a round or two of buck shot or a slug....
