Texas Sized Hog Trap has come to an end
Over the years, the Texas Sized Hog trap has been a fun way to catch and kill lots of hogs but the end is in sight.
We lost that lease. It has been frustrating because we tried to buy the property but quickly backed out when we discovered there was no clear line of ownership in this heirs property. Long story, but it is completely out of my hands. I don't care to explain the details because it is confusing.
We learned a lot about deer and hog behavior. We watched the good ones come and go and sometimes they went home with us. All good things come to an end mostly because something better is coming.
Timing for this is actually really good. My now 84 year old neighbor can no longer process the pigs due to failing eyesight and asked me to start doing it. I cannot. He has taken an average of 80 pigs a year from me; many times 30+ in one day. I thought I would build a load out ramp but now I don't have to. Instead, I might build a slightly smaller version on my own property but for now we are going to watch them.
I'll see if I can dig up pictures from the past several years and post them. Dang that was fun.
