They did a real number on that pasture.

Check these traps out: BoarBuster

A little pricey?

Yeah we have trapped on and off over the years too but have the place leased out for cattle,so don’t won’t calves getting in them. I keep them run out by shooting some but they always get a night or two in before get the time they are showing up. But few nights of 20 hogs does a number to the pasture,then next time it’s new place and so on adds up.

We will get our first freeze tonight, thankfully not a hard one.

Possible here but better chance tomorrow night. I always get mixed up on the high and low temps. As in are the low temps for the wee hours of that day or for that night/early hours of next day?

24 hour period beginning at midnight, if I understand it correctly, which is always questionable.

I fully understand. Luckily we had very few calves get in the traps but it can happen. I thought that particular trap design was interesting. Haven't seen it in action but it's definitely different. They claim they can get an entire sounder in one trap with that system.

We had 4+" of rain last Wednesday and 1 1/2" the week before. Burn bans over, in Colorado County, and both tanks within 2-3" of being at full level.

With calm conditions, I started igniting my 9 huge burn piles. Got two smallest ones done yesterday and hope to get 1-2 done today, while we have no wind.
