Title: Torture Post by: levibarcus on December 09, 2011, 09:06:02 pm I was driving back from my last delivery today just at dusk and there were about 20 hogs in a pasture right by the road. Some were shoats but some were some good hogs. This working for a living sucks!
Title: Re: Torture Post by: Jared H. on December 09, 2011, 09:33:15 pm I hear ya Levi. What kind of delivery were you making?
Title: Re: Torture Post by: levibarcus on December 09, 2011, 10:40:39 pm Jared, I just started a couple of weeks ago driving a truck for Nor-Tex Tractor, the New Holland dealer in Sulphur Springs. It is just part time for now but after working for myself for years it really cramps my style! At least I am driving in the country for the most part.

About 10 years ago I worked delivering furniture and any time we would deliver to a farm or ranch I'd always bring up hogs. A lot of land owners then wanted some help. But this is before I had hog dogs and we were just trapping them. Levi just try and use this job to your advantage. Title: Re: Torture Post by: levibarcus on December 10, 2011, 09:53:26 am I agree Circle C, I already picked one good deal up. A very large dairy that I made a delivery to has 11 hog traps that are 60 ft round pens. They said they just shoot the hogs because nobody would come and get them 20 or 30 at a time. I told them their problem was solved, that I would come get every hog they could trap. They said the most they caught at once was 44!
Where I saw the hogs last night was on some mining property off of Hwy 67. Unfortunately they won't let anyone on the mine to hunt, probably for liability reasons. |
