Grand daughter killed this one yesterday, opening day modern gun, out of my pecan grove food plot.

Our g&f dept is now offering 75% cost share on a variety of hog traps. One of the requested pieces of information is a picture of hog damage. Bottom pic is last year this time and top pic is today. Hog damage pictures are not a problem.

I love shooting hogs and making sausage, but I'm sure glad I don't have any on my places!

Put out some corn a couple days ago to see if I could bait some up. This one showed up yesterday afternoon and again this afternoon. I will probably give him a try tomorrow. Be a treat to shoot one in the daylight. Not exactly a great eater

Confused by what you said. How do you know which are "great eaters"???.

This is a 150 to 175 lb boar. He has not been cut/castrated. Best pigs, in my opinion, are gilts - young, unbred females but they dont carry much meat. 80 to 100 lb pigs probably best size. Next would be bigger sows that are not drug down from having young or obviously pregnant. This boar is a sausage hog. Bigger boars can be good eating if they have been castrated previously - barr hogs

First hog I have killed on my place in maybe eight months. They have been no shows up until the last month. Couldnt get a shot at the others as the grass in the food plot is too tall to see them running off

i was one step behind trying to catch up with these pigs. That first feeder is 400 yards from the house. Pulled my boots on and grabbed a rifle and headed to the feeder. They were already gone, but on my way back to the house, got another picture of them at a feeder another 500 yards away. Turned around and headed out to that feeder. About the time I got to that feeder, got a text and they were at another feeder 500 yards farther. Headed that way and they were already gone. I ended up almost a mile from the house. Got my exercise, anyway

Spring spiderlily - or locally known as texas star taking over a lot of my bottomland food plots. They will grow in water
