i won't even shoot one unless i'm going to skin, quarter and pack it in ice for someone to eat.
if i leave any orphans, i try to gather them up and find a new home for them.
i also offer counseling services for survivors that have been traumatized.
i hear some folks just peel out on their heads tho...
Funny thing about getting older: Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people's BS gets much better.

Can't get past the smell.too many better things to eat ya ever tried wild hog? its not a sport, some people do hunt for food, wild hog is just as good as tough ol buck nothing wrong with helpen land owner, with hog problem Colt, is English your second language or do you have hot dog fingers? Just messing with ya. And I shoot every one of them that I can and leave them right there. I have taken exactly 3 to a processor out of the countless bastages I have killed. I hate the things more than I hate coons. They have torn up every acre on our ranch and I hope they all contract swine flu and die.

I shoot all that I see and eat all of them. Luckily my wife, father in law, and mother in law actually help me process them. They are way easier to process than a deer, only because you can leave all of the fat and their isn't any silver skin. I can gut and quarter a hog in about 1/2 an hour. and process him and vacuum pack him in a couple of evenings after work. If you know what you are doing they taste great.

I've got a 3 ft. rope with loops on the ends that stays in the back of the truck just for dragging hogs away from my deer hunting areas. One loop goes around the hind leg and the other goes around the trailer hitch. I'll drive a quarter mile down the pasture road and drop them off in an open area so that I can pop a yote or two if I'm lucky. Sure, I eat hog meat all the time and love it; I just shoot far more than I can ever eat. I have yet to make a dent in the population, however, I have put a big dent in my supply of arrows and .300 rounds.

Took a larger sow on the LBJ Grasslands Monday morning. All 4 quarters, backstraps and ribs are in the freezer. Can't wait to cook the ribs!

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I have a 30 gallon water tank and a 12v water pump/hose installed on my Gator. Got a game hoist, gambrel, & scrub brush. I'll hoist them and scrub the stink off follow up with rinse down and you gotta clean squealer hanging. Gut him and drop the guts where he dropped. Turn the hanger and drop the pig in the bed and head to camp. Get the meat in brine and repeat.
Cast I have a short attention spa

Out of the 100 or so I kill/year, I eat a couple smaller ones. The rest go to the gut dump or get left right where they are.

I eat some. Give the rest away when possible. Some get left for buzzards and yotes.
