First pic is the total catch before their "jail break" that left only 9 in the trap. Second pic is the newcomers---most I've ever seen in a pic at once---I counted 35. Trap will be set tomorrow night and report to follow--

Make one wish for a full auto.

Full auto or a claymore--

While not trapping, I have sows and piglets coming to the feeder at my place. The problem is, they show up in daylight! Not at all at night like normal. They are very regular till I sit! They were at 5 PM now showing at 11:00 AM. If I don't connect soon they will be as big as those in your trap!

The two sows in the first pic had 10 "buns in the oven" too

Keep us posted.

That's the most I've seen too. In order to capture on camera all the pigs at a feeder at once I would have to put the camera further away for a broader field of view.

I may try that, and at a different angle too.

When they are in a pen trap as these were you can get most of them in the shot---though there may be some out of the view L/R and closer to the camera.

SO: When's the shooting gonna start?
Take enough ammo!

George

Nothing last night--headed to my other spot to check that trap, but its visitors have been 3 mature hogs--

Three's enough, even for you!

George

Landowner took the trap "out of service" but left the doors down and 18 shoats pushed their way into the trap last night---so he had to deal with them. But, that is OK as that makes 27 removed from the population in 2 weeks.

don't that just suck?
What did he say when you asked WHY?

George

All of my hog "takers" are out of freezer space anyway but the buzzards gotta eat too.

I also found "takers" scarce.

I find a lot of "takers", particularly Yankees are; "Yes", "No", "Yes", "No", "Maybe Yes", "Maybe next time" type "takers".

I had to cut-off two guys. You couldn't count on them. Either their "expert" son-in-law (who had never eaten wild hog) would wave them off, or their wife would change her mind. I'll give anyone a second chance, but I get tired of dealing with the person that doesn't wear the pants.

Kensco---I'd rather feed the buzzards than put up with that sort of stuff.

Too bad.

Wish the hell I was close enough to
take a few off your hands. Hell I'd
even do the butchering.

George

Got some pictures off the game cam of the "unintended catch" I mentioned above--doesn't appear they were a bit concerned about things except for the free food. Sort of like some of the lib-tard folks out there.







Was out for a sit with the thermal last night and heard hogs all around us but no targets other than a skunk, a coon, deer, and some sort of rat that was scavenging corn. On the way home we stopped and scanned a few fields and found one sounder of about 12 but not nearly as many as I expected to see. Kind of creepy parking beside the road and scanning at night--high-tech peeping toms I guess.
