This dude had a serious pig in his yard- 820 pounder killed 30 feet from front door. DAMN.

Wow, that thing is a beast! Doesn't quite look like 800+ lbs but it's hard to say. Yikes.

Oh man....good luck with that. What strange timing...I checked my camera today and saw this. Also, my buddy at work mentioned that his neighbor on a few acres he owns called him to say the hogs were showing back up at both of their places. So he's headed down to his farm (about 2hr drive) this weekend to get after them. Are all of these groups of hogs communicating? haha
Attached File This appears to be the exact same group that was showing up in my OP back on page 1 back in April (shown below)....minus a few of the adults that I took out. Attached File Quoted:
Well, my neighbor called. 20-30 smallish pigs/piglets walking up the road right onto my place. Two walked right besides his truck for about 40 yds before turning in. Cams go back up when I get home tomorrow and the shotty's come out. crap. |

Time to get a jagerpro gate and become addicted to trapping pigs. Here is what remains of my 60' X 300' runway for my RC planes. We're fairly well sickened, fuckers coulda at least picked an end so we could still fly. But no, they had to go right in the middle. Attached File Attached File |

Dang, sorry man that sucks. They tore up my yard a bit too, but not as bad as yours and I don't need it smooth like you do. I would guess that their fate is sealed now...i think the ultimate payback would be to find a way to hunt them with your RC planes

I only fly fixed wing stuff unfortunately. But, there are two camera platform quad-rotors coming by this weekend. Will be daylight only recons due to the cameras they have. A couple of two-way radios, a Polaris Razor, and some 00 Buckshot. Should be fun. ...or, you know...the whole buckshot/ATV thing

I think those arrow tips are called Rack-em-backs if I remember right.
I get all sorts of animals around the house. Today we watched some fallow, whitetails, blackbuck, and a gemsbok. Thread about how problematic the gemsbok is. We haven't had hogs around in a couple of years. I trapped them all, over 500 back in 2010, got it down to 3 boars and finally killed the last one of them last year he weighed 320 pounds. |

Those exotics sound fun...but then I read your thread...what a pain. Pays the bills though I guess. If you get a chance post more pics of the things you get to see :) What part of S. Texas?

We use a camera mount for t posts called T-Mate. Once you set it up its pretty solid.

Attached File Through that little cut and veer left 100 yds is my back door. It's approximately 3/8 th's a mile away from the runway above. Gotta be the same batch. Will be trying again when I get home Tuesday. |

Good luck! Hope you get them.
I saw the group that was at my place down in a neighbor's field the other day on the way to work (~3/4 mile from my house). They haven't been back to my place in a while though. Quoted:

Made it out Tuesday and Wednesday night before the weather turned. Saw nothing. Trail cams had quite a few coyotes and our bobcat. No swine. Found an old picture of what it looked like the last time they hit my yard. Still mad at them over this one.... Attached File |

I wonder what this guy was doing out after dark? He was walking around about midnight.

Still no pigs. Did see this guy on the camera. Not the scrawny type that I usually see around here. This guy looks pretty big and healthy.
