It pleases me to see how much you guys support all this.
Sure wish we could all get together and have a pig pikkin'!
My one cat is a great mouser and roams far and wide. He comes home at key times and still wants his dry crusty cat food. He has been down in that same field MANY times whe we drive down to check the trap. Luckily he is savvy enough to steer clear of dodgy wildlife that way if it can be helped. The dog on the other hand will take off like a rocket if she sees movement that resembles prey.
I have a feeling it may be another week before we see more hogs.
The pile of grain was disturbed inside the trap, and after seeing all the wildlife camera photos, there's obviously tons of raccoon activity too.
Haven't seen any more pigs an almost 2 1/2 weeks. And after talking to someone 1 road over, there may be a reason.
A lot of people around our 2 mile radius have been trapping and killing these. One farmer in particualr has trapped 20 and is keeping them penned up to slaughter later on.
I sure hope none escape!
A few other farmers have also seen or shot or shot at some of these. So hopefully we'll be in for a long dry spell of no pig, so we can go walking in peace.
I picked up more meat from the friend over the weekend and this time her husband included both hams! So all we need now is to call our buddy with the smoker and have us a pig pikkin'
wild pig!
