Because they are leading cheers on the sidelines at football games?
I make the boars and bigger sows into sausage.
The little ones under 50 lb. make the best BBQ.
I have been perfecting my live trap baiting.
Dude, we DO cook them. I wear rubber boots, apron, and gloves while skinning/cleaning/butchering them.
“Now if you go deer hunting, they want you to get your deer quickly and spend the rest of your time shooting as many hogs as possible.”
I own a drilling company and typically it is forbidden for oilfield workers to take firearms onto a lease.
In the last 5 years, I’ve had probably 20 ranchers ASK us to bring firearms and shoot as many pigs as they can.
I have a policy forbidding it for liability reasons, but I know for a fact that it occurs.
Try the mesquite smoke powder from butcherpacker.com
Its great stuff. I also add real maple syrup sometimes.
“I wear rubber boots, apron, and gloves while skinning/cleaning/butchering them.”
Sounds like a lot of trouble and risk for crappy meat.
I keep clean and the meat is great. Family, friends, and customers LOVE my BBQ & sausage.
I never waste game. Have you ever eaten beaver? Reminded me of goose, rich and dark.
Is .44 mag out of a 7-1/2 in. barrel enough gun for
hogs?
You gotta get a brain shot or break their neck. Shoot them in the heart with a .3006 and they will disappear into the brush. Incredibly tough to kill.
I live trap them and shoot them in the brain with .223.
We had a big boar in a trap. The guys only had a .22 pistol and a 9 mm. Shot it 10 times with .22. Two more shots with a 9 mm.
When they tried to load it on the truck it tried to bite them. A 20 gauge in the ear finished it.
“Have you ever eaten beaver?”
Yes.
“Reminded me of goose, rich and dark.”
I’ve never dated a girl who wasn’t white or Indian.
