I have a 22 as well, and it’s produced satisfactory results. The Winchester is sighted in better. And it’s a fer piece from the deck to the garden patch. I like a nice clean kill. I don’t wanna hear no sqealing. A shot gun would make too big a mess. (Don’t question my shooting abilities, they are legendary in these woods;)) ---

^^And the piglets are teenagers now. Maybe 16-18 inches long and fat little porkers. I have electric fence around the patch. I can’t figure how they’re getting in. They would have get on their knees to get under the bottom wire. ---

I had another one at the edge of the woods but he never came all the way out. Lil’SOBs. Jeez where is the end of these guys? ---

I picked greens. Mixed up turnip and mustard greens. Theres a whole 6ft section I had to dig up and toss because of piggy blood. :D. Anyway, there are cloven hoof prints allover. And rooted up spots. I told Mr.Wrekker my electric fence wasn’t doing its job. He ran me another line around the bottom. It’s really close to the ground. I hope this does the trick. I would happily abide alongside of the piggies if they stayed out of my stuff. The deer hunters are complaining about the pigs breaking into their deer feeders and eating all the corn. I’ve seen them doing it on Mr.Wrekkers game cameras. Very destructive. The pigs I’ve seen and the ones I shot are fat. There’s have plenty to eat. They need to leave my greens alone. ---

The li’l shits have been eating so much, they’ve gotten FAT, so now they’re eating greens on the Keto diet! Up the juice on the electric fence. The shock isn’t penetrating all their insulation! ~VOW ---

The rabbits try to get under the electric fence and get their ears bit and they scatter. Piggies have tougher hide, I guess. ---

The rabbit population keeps the Coyotes fed. So maybe they won’t bother my chickens or pets. My chicken coop is less than predator proof. I really hate to hear a coyote catch a rabbit it sounds horrible. A funny thing, Mr.Wrekker has auto feeders for his kennel. A year or so ago a Coyote kept showing up right at dusk when the feeder dropped food. The Beagles go crazy at this night feeding and food gets scattered. Some always went outside the pen. Wiley got a free meal. This Coyote started putting on weight and was used to me sitting on the deck watching. I got wary looks, but he waited til that food dropped every evening. Obviously a smart critter. ---

We’ve got the road runners at our place in AZ. They are, without a doubt, the GOOFIEST looking birds we’ve ever seen! “Road runner” is a most appropriate name, for they run everywhere. Their legs are twice as long as what you’d expect to see on a bird that size. I got to see one up close when we were putting out birdseed. In addition to stilts for legs, they’ve also got this silly crest on their heads. It reminds me of a peafowl crest. I looked the roadrunner up in a bird book. The doggone things are related to woodpeckers! Beep beep, indeed! ~VOW ---

~VOW- so funny. I’ve seen them, somewhere. Can’t remember where. They are goofy looking. Today Son-of-a-wrek got his bag limit of deer for the Muzzleloader season. I called him to come by before he went back to the camp. This morning there was a HERD of large-ish pigs milling around out by the edge of the woods. Rooting and fussing with each other. I told Son about it. He set up his 30.06 rifle on the tripod thingy and got in the prone sniper position(he’s a Marine), on the deck… He shoo-ed me in the house. I heard 1 shot, 15min. later 2nd shot. Short time later 3rd shot. 4th shot. Curse words and squealing. One more shot. So 4 piggies.5 bullets. Score card: Beck-8 or 9 feral pigs. 1 hogzilla mama. Mr.Wrekker -2 feral hogs in Texas Sniper Son-of-a-wrek-4 teenage size feral pigs. I STILL win! Yep.🙂 ---
