NY Hogs You Say?
« on: October 02, 2012, 07:18:00 PM »
Got skunked deer hunting this morning so after seeing zero movement from deer I decided to move a stand I hung last year. I called the landowner before I re hung the stand to see if he had plans for the area where I was going to place the stand.

         During our conversation, he asked me to have a look along a gravel road on the property to see what I thought about "something" he had seen. I got a look and my eyes about popped out. This is one big hog track. To his knowledge none of the area landowners have  hogs. I hope the pictures show the size of this track in the rooting troughs, its a biggun. I dont plan on doing anything different on this property but it sure adds some spice to sitting a cold morning on stand. All of the tracks were the same size so I believe its a big, lone,  boar hog.  Bring it on!     :pray:

Dang Izzy, if there's anyone qualified to rid the landowner of this nuisance it's you!

I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing them on the other-side of the pond?  I have mixed feelings about that!  I would guess that there might be a few here already.

I think I feel the same about hogs that I do coyotes! Love to see and hear them but worry about their impact on game...

Today would have been a great day to stalk the trails in the misty rain but I got pinned down doing my pre hunting season honey dos before the prime time starts up. I do plan to get after him, and if it turns out hes an escapee/farm hog, he'll get it just the same if I can catch up to him.

         I did see one up there about 20 years ago that was a confirmed farm escapee and I passed on shooting his big *ss. When I later told the farmer I'd seen it he asked me why the hell I didnt shoot it.    :mad:

The only other possibility besides an ex farm pig is an escapee from the preserve about 10 miles away. There have been critters escaping from there since it was opened.
