Got a chance to cut a fat hog in the....well lungs hopefully. A friend of a friend had some trapped wild piglets penned and was feeding them out. Well, they rooted under the fence and escaped. The owner whacked one of them and butchered it out, I got a chance to try and get one of the two left roaming around for $40 if I get it, nothing if I don't. Supposedly, the one owner whacked was 250 lbs. All corn fed porkie, lol. Looks like Sun or Mon is the earlest I can hunt, but am going to set up ground blind and scatter some corn asap. Not really my idea of a good hunt, lol, but they have been loose for a week or so and are skittish already. Heck of alot better deal than the $350 Tx hunt w/ no shot a year or so ago.

Best way to get the hogs in to a bait is make some sour corn mash andbury it down about 2 feet, They will root around for several days toget at the corn

Seem to recall one method was 2 lires of Coke in a plastic bucket of corn. Any other ways? I told the pig rancher to throw a few handfuls out for me and I'd get him a bag, lol.

I was surprised to learn not long ago that there are feral hogs in wisconsin, alot more than I had realised anyway, particularly in my county, I'm in the process oftrying to findsome info on the deal buthave yet to find out anything solid, hopfully it will turn out to be fairly practical and worth while to try to hunt one down... if so that mission will be fairly high on mylist of things to do...

Lookee Here! 7:30 this am, got it done. Didn't take camera on hunt, if you can even call it that, lol, but we had it hauled home and cut up by 9 am. This was about 50/50 hog hunting and buying a butcher pig, but after the bucks I have dropped on hogless hunts, couldn't resist. Ecet, 20 yds, it ran another 20 and was all done. It weighed 225# live weight, didn't gut it or anything til I got it home. The real trick was loading it into my pickup by myself, but had enough rope to pull it up in tree and tie it off, then back truck under it.
