That sure is a passle of porkages. Nice going!

It’s fun to kill pigs

Let me tell you something.... that oldest daughter of JPro's is blood kin to Annie Oakley... when you hear her shoot, reach for your knife!

JPro, keep it up, there's only another 100,000 or so in the bottom that need killing.

Good job all around.

I thought the thread was going to be about chaps.......

Thanks for the kind words, guys. They are a pair of really sweet girls.

And the oldest has only missed once, being the day that I rushed her to make a shot she said she wasn't really comfortable with. Taught me a lesson that day......

We got a few this weekend

I'd say you did......

Dry at lease, pretty well burned up. They are hungry!

We're having an odd year with them. Our place is 80% upland pine, with a hardwood tract and a hay field at the center, but we are bordered on two sides by a bottomland Federal Refuge. We generally get the hogs after Christmas, when the bottoms are holding water and there are no more acorns left to eat. They'll typically stick around through the spring and summer somewhat and then go back to the bottoms in October. This year they never left us at the end of summer. Lots of folks in my parish are killing them right now, people who have never had hog problems before. I'm kind of concerned this may be the "new normal".

Definitely becoming the norm in north LA

good kills by your gals sir

You will never kill them out

Nicely done! In many ways and on many days I'm glad we don't have pigs to give us problems. Other days I think about all the fun that could be had...

It’s really fun to trap them!!

Need help? Me and my two sons would get a kick out of helping someone do that some year. Seriously.

The place I hunted years back in TX had a few traps that were used/operational. If my pard and I ever get back there I plan on giving that and some snares a try.

I would be afraid deer would get into the snares.

I use snares to catch pigs and coyotes. Put stops on the snares, run them daily (preferably in the morning), and if you catch a deer, turn it loose.

The trick is learning to set a snare where a deer wont get in it. I admit, I catch 2-3 deer per year, but haven't had a dead one or one I couldn't turn loose.

A guy at work told me you could use a steel leader and a treble hook to catch coyotes. Hang it about 4’ off the ground. They jump to get bait and get hung.

If I'd ever catch someone baiting yotes with treble hooks...... and no I don't especially like yotes.........

It sounds pretty brutal in my opinion, and I shoot any coyote I can. Funny how we're generally cool with doing it to catfish and gators, but mammals seems different.....
