Needing Home(s) for Tasty Pigs
Posted: March 24th, 2022, 2:01 pm
Looking for good home(s) for tasty pigs.
So here's the backstory... I live against 4,000 of uninhabited plantation land. Hogs have increasingly become an issue over the past few years. Raised not to waste anything I kill, I have just about killed MYSELF lately trying to process the pigs I've harvested and have reached the point I'm ready to cry "Uncle!"
What I'm looking for are any forum members who at least SEMI-RELIABLY want hogs AND can arrange to take them quickly after being harvested. Not asking a penny for them, just don't want to hear, " I was wanting a white one... that one's just a little too small... that one's just a little too big... I wanted one with shorter hair, etc." Wish I could pick and choose convenient times to trap them, but that's not the way it works... trapping them whenver a big group finds its way into the trap and then typically dispatching them at first light in the mornings (might be any day of the week).
I've trapped approximately 30 in the past few weeks alone, and they've been as healthy looking as I've ever seen feral pigs look / have been eating tons of swamp-oak acorns. Won't push any boars with "taint" on anyone unless they just want them (personally like them ok when smoked for sausage).
If I personally know you to be trustworthy, I'll even allow use of a skinning lift I built on my place -- otherwise, will meet you right at Highway 27 (Apalachee Parkway) close to the Highway 59 turn towards the Wacissa River, ready to help load hogs onto your vehicle.
And here's a few pics just to show how tasty they can be for anyone with the least bit of cooking skills. All pics taken of meals prepared from hogs off my place, be it by me or friends (few on this forum).
