LIVE from the saddle 2023

Filled my first two nuisance tags this week. I know some may disagree, sorry. I saw 36 bedded in the alphalfa. They are killing the farmers here. I'm ready to start the contest now! Wearing my Two Panel in my Pack Seat so it would count >>>---->

So 2 pigs came in as soon as the feeder went off. I reached up and started recording like I did last time to try and record the shot. Got about 15seconds of the pig and the phone fell to the ground.....hahahahah
The pig jumped a little at that noise but his greed was his demise.... Didn't go 20

I climbed down and got the phone and grabbed the arrow and climbed back up to wait to see if any more showed up. Waiting till 7 then got down to recover. Short track.

I watched/listened to the video later and u can hear the bow go off, impact, squeal, and death throw grunts. Actually kinda neat to hear it from the ground vs what I heard in the tree....but I would have much rather got it on video
 
Weird question but I’ve always wondered, do the feral hogs smell like barnyard hogs or pigs or do they smell different??

Do they really?

. The big boars are the worst. It’s a super concentrated piss stench that they seem to enjoy covering themselves with. It can be bad enough that that the meat has the same smell. Now a big sow and the eater size pigs have a barnyard smell that doesn’t offend the nasal passages like a rank boar hog. The sows and small pigs get the cooler the big tanks get the gut pile

This is another trick we used to use for hogs to continually visit a spot. It is a roll tube. It consists of a 4 foot section of PVC pipe with a screw cleanout on one end to fill it and a cap on the other. Attached to the cap in the center is a steel I bolt with a small quick link. The cap is attached to the pipe with a couple of screws so it can be removed if needed. Along the length of the pipe are 2 holes about 3/4 inch diameter and offset from each other. Any more holes than this will be too many. In the end of the pipe with the pipe cap is a small compartment made from a 1 pound Folgers coffee can cut in half and shoved down in the pipe to form a chamber. This chamber is filled with a handful of small smooth rocks and the pipe cap put on.

The whole thing is then attached to a small tree via a 3 foot steel cable attached at one end to the quick link and to the tree with a big loop around its base. You want to have enough room around the tree where the tube can be pushed all the way around the tree. There will be a 10 foot diameter bald spot on the ground where they push that tube around.

Fill the tube with shelled corn and pour some on top. The hogs will find the corn and eat what they can and figure out pretty soon if the roll that pipe corn will come out. They will send that tube around and around that tree. Here is the best part. After they get all the corn out, the gravel in that little chamber at the end will still rattle when they roll it and they will think there is still corn to get out. The little chamber of rocks will keep them around for several days after they eat all the corn.

I read somewhere - I don't know where, and haven't had occasion to try this - but apparently hogs love lime green Jell-o. Sprinkle a packet in with your shelled corn. Also, use a post-hole digger to dig 3-4' down, as narrow as you can. Fill the post hole with shelled corn dosed with Jell-o powder, they'll go nuts (and take time) digging it back out, instead of just slurping up corn on the ground.
