I figured out that the deer on my club can't read. This makes the 7th time this year that hogs have come into a green field and none of the deer have ran off so either they don't have access to aldeer or they just can't read how they are supposed to act. Lol

Photoshop!

Is this a game cam pic? If not, where's the pic of the one you shot?

You got hippie deer. That's cool.

Thats a iphone pic. It pressures the deer 10 times more shooting every hog you see on a greenfield. Thats why I wait till deer season goes out and catch them with dogs. It doesnt pressure the deer at all that way.

gotcha. well my deer are snooty. if the hogs are anywhere close by, deer gone.

that far left hog is a big one.

One bullet would get you two deer and a hog....in hollywood.

I have no doubt that the deer will tolerate hogs sometimes especially where they have been on the same properties for many years.

But, I guess I just don't work any of those properties. LOL I was sitting in Sumter County a couple of weekends ago on a big food plot. It was 100 yards wide by 250 yards long. There was a doe and fawn feeding in the middle when a sow and 5 little piglets came into the field via the back left corner. The deer ran like their hair was on fire.

After I shot the sow, the deer started coming back into the field and I ended up killing a very nice 8 pointer. The landowner was hunting on another even larger field and he shot a boar early in the afternoon hunt and later in the afternoon killed a nice 8 pointer as well.

They have become best friends.

Sounds like you were at Lake Hollolla...

Turkeys have spooked deer out of my field. Better exterminate all them! LOL.

You're comparing apples to spaceships and you know it.

How?
The discussion is simply about spooking deer out of a field.
Heck, those ornery ass spikes are THE worst!!!

Those spikes will chase the does off every time!

I stand corrected. I guess I automatically correlate any hog discussion with killing the nuisance bastards

You were correct EHH.

The posts I really like are the ones that EHH makes when he is mad because somebody spooks 'his' hogs and he is not seeing any. Or, when he cannot get a permit to hunt hogs that are not there.....

LOL

Hogs that are not there? You drunk?

Only time I got mad that somebody "spooked" the hogs was when the white thrash on the neighboring property screwed me up on trapping them.

LMAO

See, I got 2 quick ones!!!!

Well I guess you can't drink all day if you don't start early in the morning.

LOL

Sweet tea is great!!!

If you wanna join me for a cold beer, though.......it won't be but a few more hours!

How many hogs have you killed in the past few months, EHH?

Since October I'd say 12-15.

And just wondering......you think that your hunting and shooting DOES NOT bother deer.....but, the hogs do, right?

A fellow who does not want hogs, and does not ENJOY hunting them, should invest in one of the cellular traps if he TRULY wants to minimize pressure on his property as much as possible. It and a spin feeder will keep activity at a minimum AND not replicate the same type of hunting activity that the deer recognize as Hunter Pressure.

I've had this tiny piece of property since 2004 so I know it pretty good. The pigs showed up for the first time 3 years ago in the 100 years that the family has owned it. When you go from getting 1,000 pics of deer a week to damn near nothing but pigs, you start shooting pigs. When you sit in a tree and not see a single deer for 4 or 5 hunts and you only see pigs, you shoot pigs. When the pigs take over the property and you have multiple cameras running (including plot watchers) and the mass majority of what you get on camera is pigs, you shoot pigs. When the farmers crops/fields are getting hammered by pigs, you shoot pigs. Not sure why you're trying to target me on this subject but if you think me shooting these pigs is why I'm not seeing deer, you are way wrong. If you knew the property then you would have a better understanding of what's going on. We use to kill tons of deer, yotes and bobcats here. The deer want nothing to do with the pigs. The way this property is setup, I've got all the food and the pigs don't get far from it. If you're ever down this way, I'd be glad to drink a beer with you and show you.

I'll be back at the shop shortly and I'll post a pic of what I'm working on

Not targeting you!
You just seem to be pretty vocal about it.

Trust me, I have been doing this a LONG time. And, save the 'Hog Lover' jabs....I kill way more hogs than probably anybody besides Barry on this site. And, I shoot em, too....IF somebody is wanting one to eat.
Hunting Pressure is hunting pressure. Deny it all you want to. But, it DOES affect your deer just as much as the hogs themselves! There is no need in even trying to debate that fact. I am not telling you NOT to shoot them. I am simply pointing out that your hunting and shooting them DOES put pressure on the deer. ESPECIALLY if the hunting methods and locations are the same.

Ten fo

Seriously, I would just build a big corral and install a feeder until I got en coming. Then, rent a gate with cellular remote. It is not a fast process. But, it IS the least impact on a small property in regards to pressure.

And that is coming from someone who has been labeled a Hog Lover and Trapping Hater! LMAO

EHH all your deer are in Bay Forrest and Graham Creek Subdivision, when I go check on my jobs i have to dodge them!

Yeah I know. I've seen the big boys in front fousts

I know some think it's over kill but whatever. This will be a ton easier to set up and take down. I have 3 properties to trap on. I hope to finish the gate this weekend.

Looks good to me.

Patience and lots of bait can pay off.

The ONLY problem is, the bait and time also allow the hogs a chance to eat a lot of groceries.

Last trap like this I built, pigs were in it in 2 days. Hope it works this time.
