That is for sure. The feeder in the picture is a 100 yard walk from the truck to a 90 degree bend in the road. The feeder sits fifty yards down from the 90 degree bend. Walk 100 yards and look - they are either there or they arent. They are there about 2/3’s of the time - by the time I get there - which probably takes twenty minutes from the time I receive the text. This time of year, If I think a hog is going to come to the feeder, I leave the gun in the truck so it is already warmed up and the scope doesnt fog up when ready to shoot.
No - I did give one away the other day - first time I have found someone to take a hog in three years. Hard to find folks willing to come get them in the middle of the night in the heat of the summer. In fact, it is hard to find someone to come get one anytime.
My wife taught high school science for 30 years. She can tell you every disease hogs carry and what they do to you. She said she isnt cooking them or eating them - so neither am I.
I wish someone would take them - a lot of meat going to the buzzards.
probably 80/90% at night. Dont see them out much during daylight. I must have just gone to bed when these showed up down the hill from the house after I got back last night
I have had folks tell me they wanted a hog, then when I call them -“it is cleaned, right” or “oh, I didnt want a big boar” or “I didnt want an old sow, I wanted a gilt” - even had one tell me they only wanted a white or cream colored hog. I had seven hogs trapped one time. Guy said he would be there in an hour to get them. Seven hours later, he still hadnt showed and he hadnt returned a call or a text. I havent gone out of my way to give a hog away since then. Best way to get hogs from someone is trapped hogs. You can plan when to get them.
If i looked real hard, I might - maybe - find a video of a couple of guys blazin away like john wayne and matt dillion at some hogs in a trap. Good thing nobody got caught in the crossfire.
Us old sickly feller’s got to just keep pushin - and hopin the next Dr visit is good news - bad news for the hogs.That was a pretty good shot for an old, sickly feller' like yourself....
If I had a hog I could kill in 20 minutes, I would get up at 2 am. Of course these days, I'm more likely to be up at 2 am anyway.
If he comes back tonight, How long for you to get to SW AR and what is your number so I can text you
