I envy you texans for getting all that free pork I think they would make good BBQ.

Good morning
Would make for some good hunting.. Got to get me a camara next time up to "my hunting bottoms".
Do you use a night vision set up or tape a good light to the rifle ? When I was a kid we would go to the little local dump down on the Paw Paw River with .22 rimfires and "lightup " the rats. It was great fun. But hogs.. you can eat them in style.

Looks like one of them has been laying in a pond.

I started feeding at this blind about a month ago. At first they only came in at night. In the last week they have started coming in at first light and right before dark. During the winter we see them out and about during daylight quite a bit. There is a spring creek about 50 yards from this stand and they love to stay near the water source. So far there are three boars coming in. In January I was seeing a group of sows with young that was over 20 hogs.

I built a hog feeder out of an old air tank. It is staked to the ground. It has some holes drilled in it so they push it in a circle to get the corn. I have a barrel feeder at that location as well for the deer, Blackbucks and Aoudad.

The time is right on this pic but the date was wrong. Every time I change the batteries I have to reset the date and time.

Very nice, are these free ranging exotics?

The better question is "are they delicious???"

Yep.... all low fence. There are several large ranches in the area that are high fence and through the years game has found a way out. You never really know what might show up. Most of the big places have changed ownership several times in the past 30 years so there is no way to really pin point where they came from. They are reproducing on their own now and the area does not see the hunting pressure it did 20+ years ago. I can remember as a kid the first day of hunting season around here sounded like WWIII......

I know of a small family owned company that goes on to ranches all over this area and traps them. For the most part whitetail is still king around here and some of the ranchers don't want the exotics around so they let the trappers try to take them out.


Prsman: If you cook on a wood fed pit over a low heat source for about 12 to 14 hours I believe an old work boot would be real tasty...
