2 Hunters and 20 Hogs Down In One Night

This is a personal best for us as a team, 20 hogs. The night started out slow, but once things got started, we were quite busy throughout the night. I think we might have managed a few more hogs, but after the last 5, it was 3:45 am and my partner let me know that he probably wanted to head home because he needed make it to work at a job he would like to keep. Hard to argue with that.

There is a bit of blood and such, as you might expect. We sliced open two large sows to count the bonus kills and found an additional 12 fetuses that won't be making it to the next generation.

Thanks, y'all.

Indy, tell you gal pal16 were on properties where we can leave them lay. The coyotes and buzzards will take care of them very quickly. 4 were on a property where they had to be removed to a designated boneyard area. We split open the bellies on all of them to speed the process of returning the meat to nature.

Can I come! I have night vision and safe! Hogs here in FL are not to the point that the farmers are just letting us hunters access!

I know what you mean. It has taken me several years to acquire properties and a lot of it was by word of mouth. Going door to door got me a couple, but also had about a 99% rejection rate, which it tough on the ego. The problem is that most landowners have already had people who "wanted to help them" with a hog problem and who did not actually help them.

We don’t cut the bellies open but do get the backstrap/loin because it’s a good hunk of meat that’s easy and clean to get.

We don't bother with that anymore, LOL.
