Great job! 👍👍 This is a perfect example of how to spread corn evenly through the trap and at the right distance from the gate, to get the maximum amount of hogs in the trap to be caught. The hogs are spread out, so the dominant hogs aren’t scaring the less dominant ones off and you get more in the trap. Try this, though, when loading the pigs in the trailer. Take one of those red triangular flags on a pole and wave it in front of the trailer door, about three to five feet high, And the pigs will run right in. I saw somebody do this in another video and it was easy peazy. It was like the hogs were trained. Cheers!
Do them hogs taste the same as farm hogs or better? I wouldn't know the different what they taste like and what about that they might have deadly viruses 👀
I like just as that gate bangs closed and the hogs seem to be suddenly aware that they have been caught. Until I saw these videos I was compleyely unaware how much you farmes were troubled by such a large range of vermin and of numerous species you have to contend with..
Great catch men , that's a lot of hogs . They sure do a lot of damage and it's great that y'all are trapping so many hogs . I don't miss the Texas heat since I retired from Union Pacific and I know exactly what your talking about the heat . Great video .
Good job! I enjoyed your video. I'm 74 and have slaughtered and eaten wild hogs all my life. I can't taste a difference between meat from an intact male or a female. Nobody I've killed and cooked hog for could ever tell the difference between the male or female either. In my humble opinion, sex has little to do with it. I site this study: "A study published in the journal Meat Science, found no significant difference in the flavor of boar and sow meat. The researchers suggested that the difference in flavor may be due to other factors, such as the animal's age, diet, and exercise level." Albeit another scientific study I read found boars to have a more game flavor. If a hog is weak, or sick, or traumatized/harassed by dogs or human handlers or dehydrated or stressed before it's killed, or if it's gut-shot, or allowed to get stiff from time on the ground, I won't touch it. The ranch and lease hogs I kill go from free-ranging on the hoof, to instantly dead, to the freezer in less than an hour. I have about 400lbs of sausage made a year. Here's my recipe: 40% Wild Hog, 60% domestic pork, green onions, garlic, mild salt and pepper seasoning, light smoke. I eat a lot of sausage and give most of it away. I love hogs, domestic and wild. We must respect the animals we harvest. I pull and trim the tenderloins and have them in a taco or in a milk gravy with Louisiana long grain rice before the first day or night is over. That's how I honor the hog. I really enjoyed your story. Years ago, we'd feed sows on the ranch in a shady watered pen with a one-way trapdoor. The wild hogs would trap themselves as they tried to get to the sows' feed or when the sows came in heat. We haul trailer loads of wild hogs to bow hunting properties and such. Good luck to you guys. I hope you make a go of it. Farmers and ranchers suffer millions in loses.
When you say this..... that would mean you put so many seasonings on the meat to alter the tasted ! Tell me you cook the meat as is.... no additives ? As a child my dad came in the house after milking cows. My mom was cooking bacon bought in town. His comment was........take that dang meat back to the store. Its boar meat ! It stinks !
I'm thinking you hired a group of professional Hogs. It was obvious those Hogs were trailer trained. Wouldn't it be nice if all of them loaded up in the bus like those first ones did. Good to see you found a way to get the truck and trailer on the other side of the wire fence. I was worried that you were gona have to carry all of them hogs over the wire fence. LOL Jeff you have a beautiful place there on the porch looking at the lake. Hope to see you again next week.
A few months ago we got 23 in one trap here in the Arknsas Ozarks, but the state did it and they require all to be killed on site so none can get out. Where do you take in wild hogs to sell and what do they do with them? I can tell you they make great ham and taco meat... very lean.
You need to get yourself a nice big piece of very thick leather to go over those barbed wire fences. A 4 by 4 foot piece should work nice. Get it as thick as you can and keep it in the truck. Kind of soft is good but if not, just fold it on half and crease it good and keep it stored that way. Drape it over the fence along the crease like a saddle and there's no chance of ripped jeans, cut fingers or gettin the family jewels caught up.
They go to a buyer. Who then sells them to a meat processor. The meat is then used for human or animal consumption. Yes it’s healthy. Actually pretty lean meat.
I have seen so many of these videos over the years of you farmers catching these wild pigs and it seems they are breeding faster than you fellas are catching them. Keep the battle going.
May I make a suggestion or 2 to help with the loading, fix a panel to the inside of the corral to use as a wing & modify the corral with a loading gate. Maybe that will make it easier next time. Another thing that might help make a panel out of plywood, just get in the corral & use the panel to push the pigs Thank you Sir for the video
Those are all great ideas. We have considered doing a couple of those. I’m actually planning on building a trap similar to these and implementing a couple of those ideas once I get my jig set up. Thank you for your time
Over in little UK, we dont have this problem, though some private land owners have wild boars in their woodlands, why, I have no idea, what do you do with all the carcases, do you eat them, must be good eating, bit on strong side I would think, but edible none the less
We post the long version on Sundays. They go to a buyer they pays us by the pound a live. He then sends them to a processor that processes them for human and animal consumption.
Yet in some countries people struggle to carry them out to eat them (and old stags/bucks/bulls of other species) and claim they are delicious free range healthy organic meat. Which goes to show different tastes. Those badgers and coyotes look like gastronomic delights.....@@MuddyfeetTV
Congratulations!!!! Great job once again! I totally do understand about being short. My grandparents-My grandfather was almost 7 ft. & my grandmother was almost 5 ft. tall. Us girls got the short genes & the guys all got the tall genes. Great job guys.
Verygood to be crispy lechon about 20 kilos to 35 kilos.. baby pig is also good to make kutsinilyo crispy lechon Filipinos love it. Or all asean.. .wild boar is organic..
Put in whole ears of 🌽 and watch what happens when there's an ear of corn with a hog on each end! That's how those farmers feel too...like an ear of corn with a hog on each end!
