Dam. didn't even grab the back straps? some of those look like perfect eaters.

Alright, thats the way to thin them out.

One of the sidebars on my pig hunting/eradication program is the dead ones get a ride in the truck to a bad boy rehab facility. They LOVE fresh pork!

Buzzards lose.

Nice job hanco!
Don't blame you from hauling those nasty creatures off!
BLEECH! šŸ˜–

You guys eat 'em if you want to. I've eaten quite a few and never got sick.
Several years back, a neighbor killed two and left them laying in his pasture.
Those things laid right there rotted away! Buzzards never touched them.
I don't care to eat something that buzzards won't touch!

Damn David, youā€™re going to need more bullets if you keep blasting away with that 32-40.

Great looking critter, congrats, and beautiful rifle!

I am looking forward to hearing how much it weights. So you do not eat any of them?

Well. Like most things Iā€™ve touched in the last couple of days, dropped the scale, broke it. Took it apart, donā€™t understand how it works.

I donā€™t eat them.

Send me that .32-40 before you drop "IT" and break it! šŸ˜‰
I'll send it back when my brother gets "right"! šŸ˜ƒ

Itā€™s a refinish. I keep it in a soft case to and from where I hunt. It is a ton of fun to shoot!!!

Good job. Looks like your thinning em out pretty good. Getting them sows too. That ought to help.
Posted By: jc189 Re: Caught some pigs - 04/02/23
190 lbs on the boar, that's a good one. Nice.

If you don't eat 'em, whataya do with them?

Hanco is whittlinā€™ them down. Only 4 million TX pigs left to go!
Posted By: JPro Re: Caught some pigs - 04/02/23
Iā€™ve got a camera about 300yds from the house and another about 700yds away. Both are getting hit by big pigs this week but Iā€™m not sitting my butt out there at 2am.

1/16 cable from 2x2 to cap to back fence for a trip wire. The cable is hard to see. Cable clipped to 3/8 rebar stake also.
Posted By: Bob_B257 Re: Caught some pigs - 04/03/23
After seeing the damage a group of Hogs can do down in TX I have learned why the places that have them work so hard to try to get their numbers down. The damage looked like a harrowed field after a planting had been attempted. The hogs ability to root even stumps out of the ground puts them high on my hunt list.
Getting to use a 99 to cull a few seems like a good fit.

Good Job Hanco, we have a gut pit about 2 miles from the house i throw all my pigs there, I call my Jeep meals on wheels, and those big black red headed birds sitting in the trees , Obummer voters waiting for their free hand outs. Rio7

I do not eat them, buzzards and coyotes need to make a living

Posted By: shootbrownelk Re: Caught some pigs - 04/16/23
Those little piglets look like they could be made into good eats. Kendall Fredricks marinates and BBQ's the little ones whole.
I watch his YouTube videos about his hog trapping and cooking. Smart man that Kendall.

I went down to Texas in March and shot some pigs, first time for me. We brought 100 pounds of meat back, and after eating some of it.....


I don't know why Texas still has a hog problem. They are delicious! They are so good, I figured you guys would have eaten them all by now. grin

We dump hogs in our bone yard & come morning there is often, literally no sign of them. Not even a single bone. If there are any signs it is usually the rib cage picked clean as it can be.

They donā€™t last long, buzzards on them within the hour, coyotes hit them that night, a dozen will be gone in two days. It be interesting to put a game camera there for a couple of nights.

Think I would offer them to poor people. Well would charge them something for cutting it up but pretty inexpensive. Trashing them seem's like a waste. if I didn;t do that, I'd have quite a bit in the freezer. Just can't see trashing food.

I donā€™t have time to clean a bunch of those bastards. How would I keep it from spoiling before I got it to someone that would eat it??
Posted By: Sakohunter264 Re: Caught some pigs - 04/23/23
Iā€™d you decide to eat wild hog, you have to cook the [bleep] out of it. Trichinosis is a real thing! These hogs eat anything they can get their snouts on. Store bought pork is a safer bet.
Posted By: hasbeen1945 Re: Caught some pigs - 04/23/23
Iā€™m guilty of eating my fair share. My wife loved shopping for them. She likes one that with head and legs cut off would fit in a 48 qt. Igloo. We have had more than a few BBQed whole. If youā€™re expecting wild hogs to taste like store bought they donā€™t. Wild hogs pretty much keep the fat run off. They also feed on different food than domestic. Hasbeen
