1st Hog - Didnt know we had any!

[pbajeff]

Shot this one tonight at a lease in the Texas panhandle. Have not seen any signs that even made us think there were any hogs in the area. Going to have to start looking a little harder now.

Now that they are there it won't be long before you DON'T have to look hard to find sign. They expand numbers rapidly.

What part of the TX panhandle is getting hogs now?

[pbajeff]

The lease is approximately 5 miles east of Shamrock.

Went back tonight to see if could catch a coyote sniffing around the gut pile from last nights pig. About 50 yards fromwhereshot the pig last night - another lone boar comes out. Is it not a little unusual for 2 differentboars to be running around alone like this?

Did get a coyote. Right after shot him, 3 more came in but figured out pretty quick something was not right and took off before could get a gun out and get a shot. Also got a double on 2 badgers that were sitting right on top of a hole. That goes along with the 2 badgers from last night. Good couple nights all in all.

This is tonights pig.

not unusual at all.we have caught hogs 10 miles west of shamrock right on 40. on pakin rd. boars rome quit a bit especially young boars

I am not very familiar with hogs. I just figured that if there was 1, there had to be more close by. Need to get busy learning more now that I know we have some.

How far off I-40were you taking them? North or south?
I know that area pretty well. Used to take care of all those gas wellsdown in that area for Gulf/Chevron. I have heard that they are getting pretty bad up few miles north of I-40. Hate to say the guys name on here, but he lives right on east side of Pakan 3-4 miles north of 40.
