    Got 3 today. These were two smallest (about 40 and 60 lbs.). They brought out another one about 150 lbs. I was the cook (fish courtboullion on an open fire) so didn't stop and go get a picture of it when they strung it up.

    Had some first-timers with us. Were going to let the kids (HS guys) knife them. One kid did knife one and the catch dog tore a hole in the other ones head. Looked like a bullet came out. It's on the opposite side. Not sure how they stopped the 3rd one. I haven't been feeling well and was trying to cook and be done. Wouldn't have gone but yesterday I was out there with the old fella helping work on his 4-wheeler roads and he asked me yesterday if I would cook.

    I'm putting a door on a new trap today. Gonna paint it up and prolly put it out Thursday. I left this one long at 10-1/2'. The others I built at the typical 4'X8' size. I'll let you know what happens.

    What pisses me off the most about these pigs is that its dumbfuck rednecks that have been the greatest cause of them spreading across the South... Some idiot thinks they can set up a honey hole by letting a few hogs loose in a national forest, next thing you know the place is over run and the hunters are nowhere to be seen.

    Yes, feathers. Remnants of 400 plus geese they killed over the season. Not my camp though. It's a primitive camp of sorts. No running water/electricity. Wood-burning stove for heat. There is a well that is started every so often to fill 55 gallon drums. Lights from 12 V battries. Not a place for women. Red would love it.

    Look, I'm no Phil Robertson but I know enough to know snow geese don't land in tree's or in the swamp covered with trees.....don't worry I won't tell Mr. Green Jeans.

    and no tigerchick at that place, but I get it.

    Nah, that's where they clean 'em. Camp owner has son/grandsons. They had a lot on their property and would creep them. "Creeping Geese" is "sneaking up" on them. Was against the law at one time but allowed again years back because the population is off the hook.

    I could've killed a heap of them across from my house. At night I could hear them, thousands. In the morning they'd get up and go to fields a half mile behind my house. Tiga don't creep geese.

    Two weeks or so ago, the grandfather told me they needed to get some more cause they didn't have a lot "put up" (freezer). I laughed and said, "Oh yeah cause 400 sum what, DEFINITELY need more. He says, "Yeah but we gave a lot of them away."

    I haven't eaten a robin since I was 15. Not sure about a Robin. Maybe not ever.
