Hog Envy

[canamrider07]

I remodeled a couple of rentals, ala Chip & Jo, put a sign up and a guy bought both. Now I can get back to hog hunting.

Great photos, don't know if I'd call shooting them off a feeder hunting. But congrats just the same.

Try doing it before you type off a smart ass comment. That would mean buying property that would hold hogs. Setting up a feeder where the hogs just magically appear. Knowing when to go to the feeder and not wasting time. Maintain the feeder and camera’s. Keeping the hogs coming back after shooting them. And of course making a shot in exactly the right place so the monsters just don’t run off. But you can call it what you want.

Wasn't being a smart ass, and didn't say it wasn't work just saying it seems like an easy way to kill them, chill out. As far as buying property that hold hogs would if I could afforded it, but that is way beyond my income level.

Shoot over the smaller pigs, through the feeder legs, under the barbed wire and drop a big sow. So easy?

I thought it was illegal in CA to hunt over a feeder?

 

[Common Sense]

I believe he is in Texas. Legal there for pigs.

I’m in Texas. And being successful at a feeder is not “easy” like sportyg thinks. You will only have a few seconds to pick your target and get a good shot at it. If you watch the video when the hogs come to the feeder, around 40 seconds in, the big sow immediately sniffs me out then walks behind the feeder. There were two other sows behind the feeder. Listen at 43 seconds you will hear a grunt. That is from a sow behind the feeder, and I call that the “warning” grunt. They have sniffed me out and the grunt lets the others know something is up and get ready to run. I know I only have a few seconds after the grunt to take the shot and I do.

thats cool, and I'm not against feeder hunting, especially when pigs are a big problem like they are over there

I would love to go to that feeder. Let me tell you I have heard that grunt a few times and you are 100% correct that the bullet or arrow in my case better fly soon cause they are about to run and run fast. I have been helping on a ranch and it it TOUGH work to get a property to hold hogs. I wish we could bait here cause believe me I would. we have to plant barley pray for rain then that will hold them for good hunts. To me that’s the same just gotta get Mother Nature to help. I don’t know sportyg but he seems pretty cool in other posts and probably didn’t mean that to be offensive. Good job please keep posting and keep the website alive. Shoot straight and be safe. P.S. I wish you were close I would trade you some trips on my boat in the ocean for some trips to your property. It looks like Gods country to me.

Thanks Grandroyal, I really appreciate your post. I’m a big fan of your fishing trips, salmon envy for sure! If you ever get out to Texas let me know.

 

[Grandroyal]

And same to you if you are in monterey Bay Area let me know. I don’t recommend it unless it’s for fishing most everything else sucks here.what part of Texas are you in?

I say have a potluck and just bring the fish to Texas and he can have some tasty tenderloins waiting and then go out and whack some hogs.
Of course when I lived in Monterey I have enjoyed deep sea fishing in Monterey bay and further out, but that was back in the late 70’s when the Monterey fishing pier was thriving. I remember early in the morning the fisherman come back with full boat loads of everything.
So u could buy the freshest fish and of course the restaurants on the pier had those super fresh fish and some of the best seafood I have eaten has been on Monterey wharf, and it was cool my very close freind and his family owned the world famous Fisherman’s Grotto known for their world famous clam chowder and calamari out of this world, life was real good for me then when I lived there and Carmel was the coolest back then too, best sunsets I ever saw is at Carmel beach I use to hang out at when I was a beach bum….lol..tra
