right now only a few hundred, had to start selling off ,no grass and no rain. Third dry summer. good years try to keep 400 to 500 bred cows. We use five border collies to work cattle, another two are wife's house pets and I think we have two or three walk ups at the barn. So that's why I'm kind of slow about jumping into three or four hog dogs. Every time I buy dog food I almost need a bank loan. We have a lot of deer on the place, just not real big. A big buck might be 120 lbs. Haven't had deer hunters in about ten years. I am not much into shooting them because it is a pain to clean a sixty pound deer.They busted up a big ranch and let it sit for four or five years it backs up on the navasota river thousands of acres in the flood plan river bottom. they didn't have anybody trapping or hunting hogs for years. there was a big rain, flood and the hogs came out of there like flies. I am probably 10 miles away. We have them semi under control have ten panel traps and three portable traps. when we first started I caught forty to fifty hogs in a week several times. Now I catch six to twelve on a average week. In this heat I caught three hogs in three weeks. Just an old farm boy myself, lucky enough to get a football scholarship and a degree.
