Put a good ripe cantaloupe in a havahart trap. Also, you can get rodent eliminator flares, or just use a road flare. Here's how you do it: Be sure he's home, observe the critter going down the hole! Have your supplies handy: A couple of milk jugs, a shovel, flare, matches. When you see him go in, pounce! Close off each entrance by shoveling the opening big enough to get the milk jug in tight, then shovel dirt on top of the jug, tamp tight. move on to each hole, in turn. On the last hole, drop in the flare, and repeat the procedure.

Sometimes a full frontal charge, with a blunt object will freak them out, to the point that they lose their bearings, and run the wrong way! I once shot at one hog 40 times with a 4"revolver, from a tractor pulling a rake! He was lost, because I had covered up his hole with a windrow of hay. When I looked at the corpse, he had 5 holes in him, from a .22 magnum!
