Thought some of our northern friends might enjoy seeing a little TX color. Nothing like our northern climes, of course, but at least there's a little bit of color. Pix taken late Nov.
Texas, like many other states, is unfortunately overrun with ferral hogs. Here's a batch on the side of the road not far from our house. Imagine if this was your yard! Wish I'd had my pistola with me; could have had some bacon & sausage .. |

Man those hogs look like the perfect size for a big old Bar B Q. Whole hog, baked beans and cold beer, Sounds like a podding perfect cookout.

We have family in Grand Saline, just east of Dallas. Several years ago my wife's cousin showed me the results of the wild hogs "visiting" his hay field. After a day's rain, it looked for all the world like flood damage. He said they just shoot them and bury the carcass. Around here the farmers claim that feral hogs carry diseases and infect the domestic stock. I only know what I've been told, but anyway you look at it, they're a problem.

Dingo .. Yep, big problem. Haven't heard of disease problems, but sure could be. They're a dang problem any way you cut it.
Hogone .. Yep, no days off for the pigs. Armies? They're not much of a nuisance down here, nothing like the hogs. When you see one on the road, don't try to straddle it. Dumb things hop straight up just about the time the vehicle's right above it. They're blind as a bat.

Hogone, you have armadillos In Missouri ? I am in Southern Indiana across the river from Louisville Ky and I think we are too cold for dillos. We do have Bob Cats , I have seen them in the past while hiking/hunting in the woods, Had one killed just 12 miles west of me yesterday evening. No feral hogs near me but I understand they are in the Evansville In area. I would like to have a 50 to 75 pounder and dig a big old pit and get a good hard wood fire a going and build some coals, then scrub it, season it, wrap it and put her on the fire . We have lots of Deer, Wild Turkey ( I saw 5 hens behind the house at 2pm ) and other assorted wild game. I want to go podding and cooking.

Smiths, your pig pit roast idea sure sounds good. Makes me think of going into hog-hunting mode .. but I'd really rather let my son-in-law handle that end of things. To me, hunting is sometimes like skiing: I often prefer to sip my Jack Daniels & watch someone else do it!. You say you have Wild Turkey? Heck, that works as well as Jack Daniels!
