Reminds me of being in a fish house staring down the hole looking at a northern pike staring at my sucker, but not taking it. Excitingly frustrating.

Pretty Tempting when I had the can of Golden Maldrin in my hand today. Afraid the hogs would eat a poisoned coon. Looking at all the trail cam pics of those hogs on the outside lookin in and thinking so close but so far because of racoons tripping the trap first. I built a 3x3x3 coon catching live trap to keep them from eating the yard cats food. Bait it near the Hog Trap with catfood and bring them live to the hood . Folks there would rather roast a coon than a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner

Here is what I did for last nights try to trap a pig or two. I misted a cup of diesel on the ground and on the corn just inside the trap gate. Game Cam showed no coons anywhere in sight in or out of the set trap. Plenty pigs looking into the set trap. 5 at once . Count them. They smelled the diesel too and would not enter. I think corn smelling like diesel is OK with Pigs is Bull Hocky

Not Yet Joe Not a good time for me to catch even one. Got a eye exam set for Monday Morning. I will set the trap to trip when I get time (and maybe some help standing by) to do the processing. In the mean time I will pin the gate open and keep the trap baited with corn. Once I get a few to go in and out freely again it should be easy to catch several at a time. That's if the Damn Coons quit tripping the trap first. It may be time to bait the trusty Have A Heart with cat food. I got pix of 5 coons and 2 possums in and around the trap at the same time. A Red Fox too. And a just curious Bobcat

Nan I would hate to be around if and when Ken catches some of them pigs. I m gonna say the the meat may be tainted from that diesel.
And the aroma that may come outta the whatever he squats in just may be too aromatic for the environment. 
Ummmm, maybe a little DEF would do the prep/cleanup.

We won’t eat any hogs over 90 to 100 lbs. around here.
I was given a ham off of a big sow from West Texas. Threw it on the smoker. It was awesome.
