Griz Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi folks thought I would stop by and say Howdy and to fill yall in on what's been going on... Really there to much to talk about so I'll keep it short but sweet... Well as usual I've been pretty busy here at the Ranch. Trying to maintain 5000 acres by yourself keeps you hoppin'... Also I have been involved with the local land owners around here and the US Government (Trappers) in Hog Control and havin' a ton of fun doing it not to mention the hunts... Been runnin' 4 Hog Traps. Which in my book isn't near enough. Last I saw, the count was up to 320 Hogs that have been caught in traps... Looking forward to the 2009 Deer Season... Been seeing several real nice mature bucks that I can't wait to get after... Also I will be hunting in Kansas and in Texas this year and if luck has it I will be traveling to the great State of Colorado to join my real good friend Eddie in a Archery Elk Hunt... Anyway I have alot on my plate and have been enjoying every bit of it... Welp...It's that time once again for me to take off... I have to get. I have traps to run and hopefully have some Hogs in some Traps... Have a safe and a great 4th... Catch yall later... Dale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griz Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I hate to ask what you've been doing with all that pork. :jaw: Hope you have a good 4th and get a few hours to relax with the family. Thanks folks... Went out to run the traps and ended up catching another 5 Hogs all together... Let me clear up my total on the Hogs. I was in a bit of a hurry this morning...LOL... We caught 320 Hogs since Last Oct. It's really unreal the amount of Hogs that is around here... Seems like for every one we take out there's 10 more to take it's place... Rhino we Butcher some. Lord knowns I'm not going to run out of Pork for along time... As a matter of fact I have a hind quarter on my smokers right now...They make some Gooood eatin'.... The other ones are being hauled to a place that a friend of my has. The Hogs then are ran throw like cattle and worked sorted. Then there put out into about 1/2 acre lot where they get better food ( all they can eat) and fresh water... Belive it or not, the ones that we have had up now for 3 weeks have calmed down. Once the Hogs are doing good they go to a guy that rises Hogs... I've only had 1 miss happ so far. I went out to check the traps one morning like I always do. Anyway I had about a 300/350lb. Boar caught...As I was walking to the trap the Boar went crazy. The Boar hit the trap so hard that he made a hole in the trap and was coming out to greet me and wasn't slowing down...Thank Goodness I had my 22-250 with me cause I had to put him down...It was either him or me...So Me won... Anyway... I do have alot of poakers in the fire right now but the I am having the best time of my life and enjoying every bit of it... I have so many pics of these things it isn't even funny... So if I get some time I will post some pics of our little operation... Hope yall have a Safe and Super Hoilday... Take Care and Thanks a million once agian... Dale...
