Commies Invaded the Farm This Week.

Was not wanting to see one of these on the cams.  Big ole boar.

But, the firepower of a fall season is about to be unleashed.

When we show property in Iron, Reynolds, and parts of Shannon, The damage is pretty amazing.

Our fences did not seem to stop it.

Neat sign.

I'd bait the hogs, when I was kid everybody ran hogs semi-wild in the woods and a few gallons of corn always got them home. Of course right now they likely have plenty of mast to feed on. It'd still be the best option to put  them in an easy ambush spot on a regular basis.

Woven wire with a barbed wire running right on the ground and another about 4" up plus two or three barbs along the top will keep most hogs in or out, ime, but that barbed wire in the dirt is a necessity.

We run hog panels or board fence growing up to keep the Chester Whites and Hampshires in..  That stretch of the farm is either woven wire or 3 strand barbed wire.  Have to run the fence to see where it came in. 

Checked with neighbors, seems like he has been running up and down for several miles.  Maybe just a lone boar.  But an active group is being worked about 10 miles away. 

Deer seem to suck this year.  Game cams are all does.  No acorns.  Newly clearcut nearby that is probably being used as a bedding area for the bucks. 

My new mission, tusks.

How can anyone really blame that on her? 

This problem started with a game ranch that failed.  Then MDC opened a season on them without any license and locals started spreading them.  What better thing to do when there is nothing to kill but hunt pigs on a horse with dogs while drinking.

The problem is, they were not identified as invasive species and eradicated from the start.  Its a kudzu plant that has slowly taken over.

Many a Texas pig been trailerd to Missouri and released....they hunted hogs a lot Where I grew up....mostly a dog affair......dangerous game

Use to like baiting and killing hogs on COE land until MDC put a stop to it.

They want me to tell them where the hogs are. The heck with them they are so smart let them figure out where they are at.

Hope you get to put a thumping on that thing.

I activated neighborhood watch, that should help.  All else fails, get the idiot brother in law and his band of hog hunters over for a beer fest after deer season to root it out.
