A few more dead corn eaters. You get extra points for spotted piggies.

I didn't draw any antelope or elk tags this year (thanks to the over abundance of wolves). I plan on a pig hunt in TX this Dec-Feb - I can't handle TX any other time of year. A buddy has a place between Menard and Junction, guessing a couple hundred miles from Austin. Gotta due something to fill my freezer - man can not live on rabbit and deer alone!

Dont touch any wild pigs without gloves. They carry brucellosis, supposedly up to 30% of them. After I saw an article about how messed up a man became after he became infected, I am not going to clean one. Be careful !!!

Several of the Wildlife and Fisheries personnel here have told me that our herds have tested positive as well.
My dad has killed 10 in the last three weeks from the front porch of his house. Never know when or where the things are going to turn up, but a little corn from a feeder every evening will generally have them out in the daylight at some point.
Now with even more aplomb

I think there are some elk around here with brucellosis. I'm guessing it can be killed by thorough cooking. I usually wear gloves while field dressing, but it never fails that by the end the gloves are in shreds. Thanks for the heads up.

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
