Don't laugh .... it's still a dead pig

[rushthezeppelin]

Just as an update for you punks that wanted to hunt, I have not seen even 1 pig since last July 4th weekend.

You sure they aren't sneaking around there at night? Or are there not even any wallow signs?

I'm up all kind of weird hours and of course during the day. I'm also off on Mondays and there is essentially no foot or vehicular traffic and I have not seen any in 7 months.

Go back to the 1st picture in the OP. I now corn for deer (and they show up) nightly where my car was sitting and still no pigs. It was a fluke I tell ya.

So what your saying is, you've single handed my wiped out the pig population in that area in 1 day.

Nice kill. When is the cook out? Watch out Hog hunting is very addictive for one good reason... You never seem to run out of targets!

Unless hes kept it in the freezer that meat is probably long gone...

OUTSTANDING!

The guys told you right, though. In our area, the place is overrun with wild pigs. When you see one, you can bet that many more are hidden. When they get so bold that they'll come out in the open, you have a problem! They are terribly destructive.

The Feds seized hundreds of acres here for a man made lake. The plans were opposed because the lake would drown the biggest Cyprus swamp on the Gulf coast. Elevated water levels would kill all of the trees. Now, the project is a tiny fraction of the original plan but the Feds kept the land anyway! That land is overrun with pigs and since it was made into a "preserve", hunting is not allowed. They actually hire trappers to catch and RELOCATE the pigs!

This area is a model of how the Feds can F up a project!

That's a special kind of stupid.

That's a special kind of stupid.

And they do it with your tax dollars.

Understood, hence the *special* rating

Not sure how I missed all this fun last summer. lol

But that pig is perfect size for the smoker. I usually try to get them a little bigger, but not much. I usually hang them up and skin / gut them all at once. Tender and tasty for sure.

Flash, just out of curiosity, exactly what area is this?

Pigs are not "relocated" in Texas by the Feds.

I was standing in the LR window to take the picture over the top of my car. If the car wasn't there, I would have shot from my chair.


I've been coming out to this place since the 70s and have lived here for 4 years and never saw a pig until today. The neighbors have complained and I have seen the damage, just never saw a pig. I watched (mainly the bushes shaking) about 6 pigs working the tree line in the tall grass for about an hour. There was several times I had an OK view but was never comfortable taking a shot. Even a couple of times I wondered if I could get a 2 fer 1.

They finally came out of the tall stuff where I have corn out for the deer. I peeked around the corner of the house and popped him from about 60'. They scurried into the grass, one much slower than the others. I put on some boots and went looking for him, turns out he dropped about 15' from POI.

So there it is, my 1st pig story Don't laugh, everyone has to start somewhere.

Oh yea, even as I prepped this thread the others had returned so I may get more tonight.

I wonder what Winnie the Pooh's gonna say when he goes out looking for dear Piglet! (lol! blame my son's cartoons) Kidding aside, great job, man!

I was searching some old stuff and ran across this. Still no answer to Pete's question.
