I have heard of this being used for moles. There is a big difference in
the size if the mouth on these critters. The mole has a small
mouth compared to the stick of gum. What happens to him is that
the gum gets stuck on the hairs around his mouth, and sticks his
mouth shut. This critter eventually starves to death. 
   The mouth on a hawg is a lot bigger.
