i just returned from my new free hunting lease in jack county, i lucked out as after my trup i now have 3 ranches to hunt on. i went out and scouted the place and found a tremenoud amount of crop damage wheat fields and coastal. i honestly did not realize the impact hogs had on agriculture as i always hunted the piney woods of east Texas. to make a long story short i really feel for these farmers and ranhers i seen a 400 acre wheat field destroyed in a weeks time listening to the farmers and there stories really saddened me. the crazy thing is i spoke to at least 6 farmers and all practically begged for people to hunt them. i have 3 ranches totallying about 1600 acres that i have acces to even alloing me to use there 4 wheeler and feeders and traps.
my weapon was my winchester model 70 7mm magnum loaded with 150 gr remington corelokts hit a small boar and sow at about 150 yards. i have never seen 50 hogs at a time but last night i did. the neiboor guy said they trapped 90 last week and there seems to be tons miore hogs around im going to go next week and set the trap for a week we are just going to leave the gate open then on wed night im setting it hopefully ill get a bunch of them anyways thought id share the story i sure feel baD FOR THESE FARMERS pictures are coming
