Now I remember why we didn’t raise a hog this year - we’re coming to TX to hunt hog in January!
Beau ‘won’ a Silent Auction package deal. He and I are driving down from The Frozen Tundra and picking up a friend that’s flying into San Antonio for the long weekend. I’m going to stay there at the most luxurious spa/casino I can find (LOL!) and Beau and his friend are driving another 2 hours south to hunt.
Beau owes me. In the past 2 years I’ve prepped and sold 2 homes for him, sold MY farm and moved to his (bigger) farm, and I’ve been taking care of all of his animals, PLUS raising a litter of pups for him since he retired at the end of August...and promptly left for Bear, Elk (CO), Elk (WY), Elk (CO) and Deer hunting. AND Coyote hunting in NE between Christmas and New Years. Things just fell that way this year; he got tags all over the place and they all fell into THIS Fall & Winter after a 10-year wait on some of them. His Black Bear was 534#!
Again, Life Is Good. :)
There are quite a few feral hogs in this county, but we aren’t overrun like some places-probably because most people don’t mind eating them at all, so they get culled-and some people who have domestic hogs will trap young ones-preferably sows- and add them to their stock of free range pigs-where they breed and have piglets that will be healthier, leaner and more flavorful than most all-domestic hogs-I prefer lean pork...
Hope your man has a successful hunt and you enjoy the feral hog chops, sausage, etc...
