Or “I’m really stuck on you, deer.”
I don’t know from Arkansas feral hogs but we have javelina here. They’re much smaller than a proper hog but they’re mean. DesertRoomie and I have sighthounds and one day at the feed store she mentioned to the cashier we know – who is an avid hunter – she thought she’d like to try hunting javelina with them. He and I looked at her like she had two heads. “Why do you think you hunt javelina with about a dozen hounds?” I finally asked. “Not all of them will be coming back.”
:eek: That was the end of that thought.
I’ve hunted boar; even been dumb enough to hunt them with flintlocks. But driven and bottled? Give me a full mag and a pocket full of extra rounds. Or one Hell of a steady strong raised platform. Like a helicopter.
And I will confirm the dog thing. Last time in TN we lost 2 dogs dead and 4 injured.
Go to it? It’s happening in my back yard. Literally. The round up is happening. Pink hats are donned. We’ve had one accidentally discharged weapon. Son-of-a-wrek is shooting clean-up, so he has more bullets.
I’m a nervous Beckdawrek!!
They are estimating about 100 hogs.
:eek:
Son-of-a-wrek is gonna need the AR.
You might want to have the local EMS pre-position units at the end of your driveway, and make sure the front lawn is clear for life flight.
I got a bad feeling about this…
It’s allover but the crying
Nobody died or got hurt. Except my feelings (trust me you don’t wanna know)
I killed 5 that got around the house to the front.
Hand guns were drawn. About 80 kills.
I need a nap.
How big were yours? How does Big Wrek feel about how his pretty ballerina wife has more pigs on her scorecard than he does this year? Does he brag on you?
I would! I am proud as a peacock that the Old Wench has out-shot me and all the guys more than once.
My question is — about 100 pigs — who’s got the biggest freezer? That is one load of fine eating waiting to happen.
Kopek, do you realize that wild hogs are half parasites by weight?
The G&F carted off all the pigs. Tests and incineration. They are not edible.
The pigs I got were a sow and piglets. One large-ish male.
No, Big Wrek doesn’t brag on my prowess.
The Mister should brag!
“I had to put my foot down and insist the Missus stay home! We call her ‘Dead Eye’ behind her back! Last shoot she entered, she got more verified kills than everybody else put together. The biggest problem is that she can’t handle all the drinks people bought her. She starts cleaning everywhere around her, putting all the folks to work. It spoils the whole atmosphere of the hunt.”

~VOW, are you looking in my window? I had several wives and kids to come watch the festivities from my house. I had to sweep and swiffer my whole downstairs after this crap was done.
I want to wash the ground outside. Luckily it may rain tonight.
The cats have finally came out of the beams.
I’m sure the bathroom took a beating, too!
~VOW
Yes, indeed. One of the kids locked the bathroom door and shut it as he came out.
I had to dig out that goofy key thing to get the door opened. One kid was having a tantrum the whole time because I didn’t have a coke in the house. If they had of called ahead I might’ve been better prepared. They just showed up.
When I realized I would need to shoot in the front, I ran down with my gun (that, I had prepared for)I hollered at DIL to get those kids in the house. They were all lounging around on the deck. Hogs running everywhere. I don’t know if hogs can cimb steps up to the deck. Plus those kids just didn’t need to be outside with all those bullets flying. I had to tell her twice. Unbelievable.
Anyway, I shot 5 of 7 that ran around the front. Son-of-a-wrek was right behind me and shot the other 2 with his handgun.
In true redneck fashion this giant CF was deemed a success.:smack:
So glad it’s over.
How will your family butcher that many hogs?
Butchering even one is a big job. I helped my uncle thirty years ago. I never butchered one by myself.
Never mind. I just saw your earlier post about G&F taking the bodies.
I’m sure the bathroom took a beating, as well!
~VOW
God yes. 
Magically day dreaming about you capturing one of the piglets and naming it Kevin:D
If it could be named ‘bacon’ or ‘sausage’ I would consider catching one and fattening him up:)
PS- in a magical daydreamy way
I didn’t realize feral hogs were this big of a problem in Arkansas.
Found this article from Jan 2019. I read several others and it’s a significant problem for private landowners.
