If both freezers weren't completely full of feral hog and stuff from the garden and it was lots cooler, these 3 were the perfect eating size we like best.

     None of these 4 will be rootin up the place anymore.  That is the good part.   Still have a unpredictable rogue Big Boar Hog to get rid of somehow or another. We just never know when he will show up next or where he will root up a place .  Have no clue what he is rootin up a place in the middle of the lawn we mow for.

    Youngest kid says he wants the fattest  little pig of the 3 to Bar-B-Q whole.  I told him it was out of my hands and he needed to talk to the Guy who is getting the 3 sometime tomorrow. He may get Big Tony  to butcher it for him and use Tony's big pit on wheels to help with  the cookin.   

 Hey Ken,,when I was doing that consulting project for BP America workin out of Longview,,I remember driving past a small place in Carthage (I Believe it was) that advertised to come to your place with their equipment to smoke any kind of meats,,,Can't remember their name but that might be the way to go with that big old sow or boar,,,,, 

    If your ever back this way again we can put you up for the night in our rustic guest room up the staircase above the workshop in the barn. AC if its hot. Heat if cold. Hot and cold running water and a 4 burner gas stove.  No TV

    We  can grill some feral pig for dinner and fry up some  homemade sausage and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

    Find our place in the Stewart Community on 2126 North off of Chicken Feather Road (FM 782 northeast out of Henderson) 10429 2126 north on the mailbox.

    We will never run out of hogs here.  All the land between here and Henderson is posted reclaimed Texas Utilitys acreage from lignite strip mining. HOG Heaven if there is such a place on this earth. The only predators are themselves fighting over Sows in heat. They range up to 5 miles from where they first hit the ground.

    Big Tony hauled off the 3 little pigs today. He has a bunch of little kids to feed. They will not go to waste at his house.

 Well,,Ken,,that right there is Right Nice and neighborly of you on thet invite,,,,I been really wanting to get back in that country,,,cause somehow or ta other I'm gonna get the recipe for their "Charro Beans At Jucy's Hamburger joint,,,!! BUT,,,I don't know,,Ken,,,an overnighter might not be long enough if we gonna go ketch some Crappies TOO,Then I'd have to buy you and the Missus some RIBS at the Crossroads,,,,i'LL BET YOU KNOW WHERE THAT IS,,,??? I imagine prrolly 3/4 of all East Texans know where that BBQ place is. , 

  I'll tell you for sure,,,I'd bet some serious dollars that even ole Shameless would fall in love with them legumes,,,, Fact is,,,sometimes in the evenings,,when I would get tired of steaks and Crawdads so I would just go in there for dinner and get a small HB and a side of them Charros,,,,,and eat beans til I couldn't no more,,,waitress never did say nuttin cause I always left a good tip There was this  one cute little waitress that I offered her $20 if she could get me the recipe from the cook,,,and she was going to get for me but the friggin cook nixed it,,,AH,,!! Over at "The Jalapeno Tree" they had a similar dish of Charro Beans but not nearly as good as the ones at Jucy's,,,, 

  Two of our Sons now live in Dallas,,so we may yet be gettin to know one another,,,PLUS I love going to Canton,,too,,!! Chit,,Ken,,we may be lookin at more'n a few days,,,,,

 

 

Don't go there Shammers.

 My kind of life,,Ken,,,,my kind of life,,,,,!! You mention the deer,,we spent most of our well documenting down along the river bottoms and I bet in almost two years we didn't see more than 10 deer but we seen lots of hogs,,,and even more Hornets,,!!!  BIG friggin hornets,,,We drove up to one location that had not seen any activity in a long time and there was a BIG hive in the meter house and they swarmed the other guy soon as he opened the door and you ain't never seen a guy run so fast back to the car,,,,,!!!! Them fookers circled the car for 20 minutes and sometimes flyin into the windows tryin to get at us. we finally left thinkin maybe later but next day was same thing as they was waitin for us. We finally documented that well after dark with flashlights,,,,and a coffee can of gasoline,,,,, Beautiful country down there and some of those places down along the river  bottoms make you think bout the Bonnie & Clyde days,,,lots of very secluded places with only a trail to em where people still live that don't see many others very often. If you do see any people,,,they are usually was studyin you from behind a big tree. An onery fellar don't stand a chance down there,,,,,

 I LOVE CANTON,,,,what more can I say,,,,??? On the weekends that I didn't travel home,,thats where you could find me, don't believe I ever saw the whole thing,, it so big,,,,

  Say,,,you know anybody that works at Jucy's,do you,,???
