I killed one in the back yard from my walker with a .22 rifle
right after I splintered my tibia.
This guy came twice today on my deck .Arrrrrrrrr.
J will end him.

You didn't let him get away did you Don.

I've heard they taste great braised in a nice tomato sauce. -C-

Oh he's so cute.
Darn them buggers. My buddy Gary in the wheelchair was up to 154 confirmed kills last week.

No good sumguns anyway. My brother in law has a picture of one 15 feet up an oak tree. I wouldn't have believed without a picture. His home area flooded and that's what he did to survive. Not in my yard! I would have knocked him out of that tree stone dead! Working dairy farms as a young man I formed a very strong disdain for them.
-
I sure would trade for the hide.
-
Dang Eddie, I just threw one out my kid had on his wall for 10 years. Not sure it would have been good for much now. It was pretty dried out.

I too don't have any love for these pests/garden thieves.
My neighborhood is infested. Most folks have women and
kids that think they are cute. Back when I was a kid a farm
hand at the farm I worked at got the quick turn end of his tractor
stuck in a hog hole and it turned over on him. He was trapped under
as the gas leaked out the tank and ignited from the still running engine.
The rag sheet photographers took pic of his claw marks trying to ecxcape
his death. Sad

Eddie The hides are great, The fur buyer back in jersey used
to get vests made from groundhogs. They could pass for grey fox.
No promises about getting you some but I will keep you in mind.
What would you do with them?
Zuma

They are definitely fit to eat. Haven’t had any since I was a teenager but I sure did like them growing up.

Eddie what are you looking for in hides? Rawhide with hair on? Rawhide hair off? Tanned hair on? Tanned hair off?
I have a buddy in a wheelchair chair that gets over 200 hogs a year. I've been thinking about making some hair off rawhide but really busy this time of year and my buddy just wants to drop off the hogs. If I get enough time to skin a few I might be able to do some for you. They might be cute but they sure make a mess with all their digging.

I love it! Let em' have it. The rifle kill is definitely this years and Ill bet your pistol kill was momma. Nice work.

Nice shooting Zuma. Keep a eye on those same spots. Chances are pretty good you'll see a couple more.

Yup, the rest of her young will start popping out looking for that sow. Stack em' up.

Good shooting! Get the systems functioning properly, man! I busted a few as a kid, on a neighbor of my uncle's place. He was most appreciative!. They can eat a lot of corn!

Brian, sorry, I've been on a short vacation near Galveston. I'd like to make a possible's bag from a rawhide without hair.
-
Eddie I'll see what I can do. We finished wheat now. If my buddy gets some and it works out that I have time to I'll try get you some rawhide hair off. I know it's getting about time that he has harder time seeing them because crop are bigger and hides them better.
