Not many know about snaring hogs... I'd use it more here, but there's more deer than hogs wanting in them. It's Kind like setting out trot lines for catfish. The hogs mainly move just before dark thirty and at night. I usually set out 8 to a dozen snares. I put them at holes in the fences where they travel to the spin cast feeders and loop them around a good sized juniper. We'll hunt in the morning, come in and have breakfast then go run the snares. Its a rush to ride up to a big ol' boar on the atv. many times you'll catch them around the chest, hindquarters or hind leg. By time you get there they will be pissed. We'll ride up with either a shotgun or pistol drawn. A 150-200 lb. boar, charging, hitting the end of a 1/8" cable and sunfishing with all four legs in the air will definitely get your blood up! ya!

Yep, a nice healthy one. He was crossing the road when I went out shooting one day last summer.

Paddlefish. They are actually reintroducing them to Lake Erie. Ancient, cartilaginous, filter feeder. Usually, they are snagged. I think you can smoke them and eat them. Not sure if the roe is good for caviar, or not. Heck yes it's good for caviar, [b][color:#3333FF]read this...[/color][/b] Wouldn't surprise me at all if some folks are getting rich on the side off this project. Get caught selling it and it's your azz!! We snag them here on the Osage River. Fun day when you can snag 6-8 fish that run from 50-70# Pretty good eating if cleaned right!

had boar bend 3/4 rebar that was sticking out of the ground 4 inches, bent it almost 90 degree and broke 3/16th stainless cable.
they make deer stops for them. The breaking strength on 3/16" SS cable is around 3700lbs. How do you figure a hog wound up exerting that much pressure on the snare? Rolling around and twisting the cable up in a knot? I'd like to know, I've seen similar things happen with large beaver caught in snares that should have held the beaver and more. Trapped animals sometimes seem to do the impossible. have no idea, i'm pretty sure it was one of two black boars i'd seen crossing there, both were easily over 400# and always traveled together. it tore up everything in a circle around where the snare was set, some small mesquite trees as well

I have been thinking hard about a dog like that.
Could they be used as a coyote dog? Not running them down but for decoys?

Sam; It would appear that a few of us - at least the geographically western sort of folks - do tailgate photos quite often.... Firewood run on the mountain behind the house. Dodge tailgate Same mountain 15 years ago - Ford tailgate Much younger me - Toyota tailgate Little older me - Ford tailgate Older still - Dodge tailgate End with the Toyota that took us all over three provinces for a decade. Thanks for keeping this up folks and all the best to you in your area Sam. Dwayne
