BP, show me a pic of your traps gate. Wanna see how you did that?

Second, why dont you bring meat to local food shelters? I'm sure you got over a 1000 pounds of hog there that they'd like to have?

We have 17 traps out and running and only 5 or 6 have the same door/mechanisim. I will draw some later for ya.


As far as meat, there are no shelters out here in rural east Texas. the meat donation is set up so it has to be professionally processed at $50 per hog (that I would be paying) then I give it away. Screw that noise. If there was a way to donate at no cost other than the hassel of doing it I would be all over it. There are so many hogs around here if you want one you just shoot or catch one yourself. Sadly though many people (especially those poor enough to really benefit from the meat)turn their noses up at wild hog. I will be bringing in a whoel one for more brawts, and sausage and will likely keep three or four later this week when I have time to process them myself for my freezer. Right now with the daily prize time is expensive so processing them out just slows us down. Also, the girls can't lift some of the bigger 150-200+ lb hogs.

I would, however, take a few choice shoulders and loins off the right sized sow or small pig. Really tasty. And while the charities might not take some of that, i guarantee there are lots of people willing to take some free meat in the hardworking sections of town. Maybe even create a feel good event by getting hunters/butchers to donate some time to butcher all these pigs and give it to the food bank. Coordinate with Hunters for the Hungry or something similar.
