east texas looking for rooster
My son, Marcus has been hog hunting in Delta County. Requires a Texas hunting license. He and his friend trap them and a packing house in Ft. Worth picks them up. They have to be alive to sell.
??? Alive? Wonder how the guys I work with get buy with killin' em and packin' em?
They do their own skinning and processing, live hogs are for commercial use, but many here know how to dress a hog, they are a dangerous overpopulation item in Houston area- don't know abt the license, I gave up that kind of stuff 30 yrs ago
Ahhh, gotcha. I know they are a big problem in a lot of areas.
Come to the Fulshear/Richmond area. We have zillions of them and they are a HUGE problem.
Visited Maui 4 years ago. Feral hogs are destroying the peacefulness of all the islands.
Chuckl, feral hog, javelina, large rats we call em, but the powers that be released Russian black hogs for em to cross breed with- and they DO multiply like rats....
Well they didn't get anything no signs of them at all while they were here so now I have been given the job of locating a place for them to hunt next time they come down,
They even put out the cameras for hunting to see what activity there was and what time they came through but nothing then either.
So instead they went home with a rooster they had found listed on craigslist north of Tyler on 14
funny too the guy they got it from had moved down here from crystal lake Illinois 4 yrs ago.
the news did have a segment on hogs last night and they said how they are allowing trappers t come in and trap them then they in turn get them to others who take them to butcher.
didn't say too much on how, where or who they turn the butchered meat over too but I have had it before and it really isn't much different then eating pork from the store.
my guess is you would consider it more organic raised meat LOL
The drought drove a lot of em into areas that had food, so some of the worst areas hit by drought arent where the hogs are. I heaard that Florida is having a problem with large snakes that have been released/escaped into the wild, and the possum, coon, small pets are in short supply now...seriously.
scary
hubby was reading last week that opposums, raccoons and bobcats have declined in population in the area of the everglades where the pythons are anywhere from 85%-99%.
Our son is with his friend this weekend in East Texas, Delta County. As of this morning early they had trapped 20 pigs over night. We not through checking all the traps at that time.
