Hog Trapping in the Lowcountry
Posted by lowcountryhunting on February 22, 2008
Amy said that the kids needed to get out of the house for a while yesterday, so what better way to create some family fun than to go and check the hog trap on the Jericho tract. I doubted that anything would be in there for at least a few more days, but low and behold there was a 140 pound sow waiting when we arrived.
This was the perfect opportunity for the boys to see a big, mean hog – ALIVE! And they thought it was the coolest thing ever. I then dispatched the hog so that they could see its big teeth, gnarly feet and coarse coat up close. Bo also wanted to shoot it with HIS gun too.
We then spent some time looking for arrowheads until the rain came. After that it was time to head home for dinner… But of course that was difficult since Bo could not eat for talking about the big, mean hog!
Unfortunately it is pouring down rain today, so we are just hanging out inside. Hope everyone has a great weekend! And don’t forget to check back for a couple of new posts I am working on…

Sounds awesome. I hate reading your posts right now Jeff, because it just makes me want it to be a lot warmer out. I’m jealous, very jealous.

That sounds like fun. Wish we could do things like that here.
