so far. Just a matter of time. No season on private property, reproduce every 13 weeks, Slop 'em heavy for a week and slaughter 'em.
Pigs are tricky & the big ones are hard to catch in a trap, you may need to put some cover on the trap to get her in it. It looks like most of the trees are bare there now. Try to weave some brush on the sides & top, if the pig can see the wire she won't go near it & if you have wire on the bottom cover it with dirt/leaves, if she feels the wire between her hooves she will back out. These are just some tips I have learned over the years of trappin truck loads of these pesky rooters.
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
