I did see a picture this past winter of a dead hog killed somewhere in southern Jackson county; it was supposedly one of two taken during deer firearms season.

Traps and dogs did a number on them. Figure in that now over half the area they lived has been dug up, the remaining could have scattered to surrounding areas, but you would think they would still be spotted? Either way, I think it's proof that there is no truth to the theory that once you get hogs you will never get rid of them. All you have to do is tell a bunch of rednecks that they can shoot them whenever and however they want  I was amazed at how far they travel when we tried tracking them. I gave up after several attempts. |

We do some work for Peabody off Barron Fork road and below the Ebenezzer Church in that area that had some old pig traps. They looked like huge box traps the same kind used to catch rabbits in only much, much larger. They were pretty well rotted away. That is why the Peabody Lynnville mine is called Wild Boar Mine. Those pigs were killed out many years ago I'm pretty sure You didn't happen to see a nice metal one made out of 1" tubing and hog panels did you!? I'm sure it looks like it did the day I set it out. Which is the day before it disappeared  No all the ones I have seen were made out of 2X4 and steel hog panels as best as I can remember. They were in pretty bad condition. Was your trap in this area that I mentioned probably about 1/2 mile west of Ebenezer church behind the big white gate. I do a lot of work in and around that area. If I run across it I'll let you know. |

Nah, it would have been south east of the church.
