Re: minigun VS wild hogs TX
I'm right there with you. I'd have no problem taking out hogs for a rancher/farmer but I'm not gona pay for it. People charge for hog removal. I'd do it for free. I'm in San Antonio and the offer stands, pm if interested.steve817 wrote:I have been ready and willing for a while to help some rancher out.

Some places are torn up so bad it's hard to ride a 4 wheeler in granny gear over it. Fence repairs and other repairs take money and time. Hogs are a bigger problem than most people realize. It's getting worse every year.

Yep, if you're charging $150+ for a hog hunt, you don't have a hog problem.smtimelevi wrote:I'm right there with you.

Re: minigun VS wild hogs TX
That does seem a bit silly. Perhaps it can be a reverse charge. I pay a deposit of $100.00 a day against $.50 per pound of pork on the hoof that I remove. How does that sound?steve817 wrote: I have been ready and willing for a while to help some rancher out. Seems though that a lot of them want to charge me for the privilege of helping them.

Re: minigun VS wild hogs TX
I think the issue being the old ranchers don't like people they don't know too well having any kind of run on their property. I've been on both sides of this as a ranch hand and someone who loves to blast the occasional pig or twenty. Even someone with good intentions can be pulled into the drama of a calf that dies the day after a pig hunt (been there too). I've seen guys take the irresponsible shot and kill a calf. Most people will only let family members and close friends hunt on their place for that reason.TDDude wrote:That does seem a bit silly. Perhaps it can be a reverse charge.

Re: minigun VS wild hogs TX
I know several hay farmers in East Texas that have all but gone out of business because of hogs rooting up their fields and others they contract for..!!!!
If you have not been where hogs root the ground up...it looks like a large john deere tractor went through the field with 12' plows..!
No kidding.....
Not to mention they are messing up grazing pastures for the cattle. They have been sighted in LARGE herds moving like small tractors through fields.
I had about 30 run through my back pasture about a year ago and left me with a big mess to FIX..
Do whatcha gotta do..they need to GO.
Do you rent that sucker out?
Just kidding.
