Got my trap baited and set. A sow and her pigs have been eatin corn outside and inside the trap for the past 3 nights in a row. I expect to have some live pork in the trap if a damn coon or possum don't trip it first.
A freeze is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

That is where they will be headed if caught. Meat is dark and really Tasty. Tender and juicy too. All natural . No antibiotics
Some day I would like to roast a whole small young hog on a spit over a pile of hot post oak coals. Turning it ever so slow until the meat falls off the bones

I've never ate wild hog although I expect they are no different than other meat,,it's all in how you take care of the meat after the .22 in the center of the head,,,no different than a cow. Of course a tough old,,I mean OLD boar might tend to be a little "tastee" I'll bet one of them yearlings would be many wonderfuls smoked for 10-12 hours,,,,MMmmmmmmmm

JOE I calls em Teenagers. I caught 4 Teenage Boy Pigs all the same size all at once. Made quite a job for myself. Sure glad it was cold enough to let them hang skinned and gutted overnight . They cut up so much better when real cold.
Can't wait to check my trap at first light. Edited by Ken in Texas - 12 Nov 2018 at 5:35pm |

Them Stories could be from people that get the pigs all worked up in a frenzy (heated they say) then kill em, and if they do that they probably don't know about the scent glands either. Either situation will mess up even domestic grain raised hogs.

Picked up four nice ones on one of my trail cameras, maybe I will get to put one or two in the freezer if they will show up at the right time. I've got to learn how to skin a hog, we always scalded ours and scraped the hair off when I was growing up. Getting them all stirred up before putting them down and then piercing the scent glands is guaranteed to ruin the meat.

Yeah,,Hubert,,thas kinda like shootin a deer that has been run all over the mountain dodgin them 30-30 bullets from them curtain climbers that only manage to kill the mountains. One of the boys shot a nice buck one year that we heard all kinds of shootin on the other side of the mountain,,,and when thet poor old Buck came over the ridge,,his tongue was hangin so long he kept trippin over it when Jerry finally shot it. That thing was so adrenalined up the meat was not fit to eat. The Boys learned a good lesson that day.

Ken, you should try a pit. We used to do that every year for our wild game feed. Dug a hole in the ground, put in some green limbs and then coals. Then more green limbs and then bury it. Got it started and let it go for 18 - 24 hrs. Man was that good!!

Hormel also pumps the pork with some kind of sodiumdiekillyourassoff solution and calls it Always Tender. Open the package and it reeks of sulfur. I avoid it like the plague. Thing is they are not necessarily the frugalist buy.

Ken, how difficult is it to skin one out? Does the hide separate off quite easily? When I grew up, the domestic hogs were always scalded and the hair scraped off. Same as Hubert.

Remove his rear bumpers and feed him about 2 months and the strong scent and taste is gone. Good sausage is worth the wait.

One I caught on Camera last night had big tusks sticken outa his jaws. He never entered the trap. A smaller one went in but missed triggering the Drop Gate. I rebaited and reset again for tonight. I wish I could find another box of Hog Melons. All that's left of the first 50 is pieces rind scattered about.

Dip them in a barrel or kettle of scalding hot water, works better if you throw a few ashes out of the fireplace in it, and then use something flat like a hoe with a short or no handle to do the scraping. Grandpa had a BIG cast iron kettle built into a brick fire box that worked great. The top was just over knee high and easy to slide a hog off the trailer into the kettle. Had one hog so big that Dad had to use the WD and crane to handle it.

I can remember scaldin and scrapin hogs, almost every weekend, when the weather was nippy, as a kid. We hadda ole bath tub, with a fire pit dug under it, 2 guys dip the hog, then scrape the hair off, gut it, then a ride up to the garage, to hang till cool, then up to the basement to cut it up, and use everything but the squeal!
Do you remember these? [TUBE]KXtR-CaK6p4[/TUBE]

Father in law told me his Dad would take pigs up and scald them in the hot springs to scrape'em when he was a kid. I helped a friend butcher 3 of them little Kune-kune pigs (like little bacon bits!) we skinned'em, gave me a whole new respect for the butcher that skins our real sized pigs!

a HOG MELON is a watermelon that for any reason is not fit for sale. Culls. Pigs and cows love them. I have cut and eaten a few myself. They are usually Free for the taking from local growers.

I remember dad doing hogs. He got post of boiling water and poured it on the hog. We didn't really have the resources for a scaldron. The last one he did was a sow, weighed 400 pounds. It had a heart attack and fell off the chute when he was loading it to take to the auction barn. I remember taking my first wife home for a visit. About half way down the walk she stopped, turned to me and turned green. She motioned over her shoulder and there was a half hog hanging from the clothes line pole. She didn't eat pork for a few years after that. My dad made the best breakfast sausage I ever ate, and mom made the best donuts in the lard.

Trap was tripped early by coons. This happens allot. Camera shows 2 coons playing in the trap in the first 3 pictures last night. After the trap got tripped I could see at least 3 maybe 4 hogs scarfing up corn just outside the closed drop gate in the next 50 or so exposures .
I hear wetting the corn with Diesel keeps the coons out of it. Pigs don't seem to mind the taste or smell of corn wet with diesel. Time to try it and see. I sure hate missing the hogs because they can't get into the trap.
