A story of Pigs and Peanut butter

[D. Key]

Good luck Jim.  

A friend told me of a corn liquor recipe for pigs that supposedly works great. Take a sack of corn in a 30 gallon drum with 10 pounds of halved apples, 7 packs of yeast and 10 pounds of sugar.   Once you have the ingredients in the drum fill with water to cover the corn. Place a lid loosely on the top and wait stirring the concoction every 2-3 days.  After 1 week add 5 more pounds of sugar and 3 more packs of yeast. After another week you  will have several gallons of Apple corn liquor for the hogs.  My friend swears by this for hogs.

Just don't get caught by the "Revenuers".

Those are the pictures guys and thank you. One day, I will not only learn to figure out game cameras, but also be able to post the pictures on Tradgang.

Those are what I would call practice pigs..and they will make great eaters. The real hogs have just started to show themselves.
I got a call from my friend Preacher and he basically said if ya want to shoot some "fatties", you might aught to head this way.
Seems as the pigs had hit the butter the night before and the camera said 7:30-9:30 pm. I worked for a couple more hours and headed that way. I figured I would get on stand at 6:00. ON the way i realized that the camera was still set on daylight savings time and the pigs had really been there an hour earlier.
I hurried and got in the stand and waited. I know the pigs ain't got a watch, but typically later in the baiting, they tend to be pretty consistant on there times for at least a few days in a row.
Anyway, time came and went and no pigs. I tried taking a nap...not normally something I have to try to do, but wasn't happening.

Anyway, in an attempt to shorten the story, I left at 9:45 and the pigs came in at 10:15 argh&^%$&

I'll get you next time Porky!

BigJIm... D.Key, thanks for the recipe, I think I'll try it and set up a buffet fer them rascals.

Now hunting a bunch of drunk pigs might be a hoot!
But how do you lead for a staggering pig?

Jim : If you have more pics you want posted just e-mail them to me

[Benjy]

Jim, Do you have 55 gallon drums of penut butter for sale at your store? I wonder what the shipping would be to SC?  

[BigJim]

I've got them, but would probably cost a $100 bucks to get it shipped by truck to SC business.
I just had a pallet of exotic wood that weighed 500 lbs truck shipped to me for $95

will do drew.

Kirkll, if you drink with the pigs, there is no lead long as your both stumbling in the same direction.

Drew, I should have more pics this week. I'm going to bring out some molases and then hunt probably monday. Will retrieve some pics and maybe bring home a pig or two.

Good Idea Jim, feed them Molasses and slow em down a bit  

[BigJim]

sounds like it would work up north, but it doesn't ever get cold enough down here to thicken molasses!

 I'm just trying to get them hooked on one addiction after another. I want them lying in there beds talking to each other "can't wait til dark, I'm going to hurt that Peanut butter corn molasses corn whiskey slurry up there on the hill!"...and when they show up twitching of withdrawal, I'll be waiting

Way this thread is going, Jim, if you just shut off the supply in a week or two, them hogs might be so "hooked" they'll run around slamming their heads into trees outa pure torment and you can pick up   :rolleyes:         which ones ya want.

[drewsbow]

Sounds like a plan Jim , good luck bringing some home . Can't wait to hear the story and see pics.

Lol... Great thread. Ill be following this one to the end!

[drewsbow]

[Mike Vines]

If you start throwing all that stuff out there, you're probably going to get a trailcam picture of me with a mug in one hand and a spoon in the other.

Looking forward to the update.

Fortunately for me, the pigs are louder than i am while in stand sleeping!
Couldn't take it any longer so I knocked off early and went out tonight. Seemed a little slow and the camera showed that the pigs hadn't been there since friday night, but I think for them to miss a night is the exception and not the norm. Especially with the wonderful buffet I have prepared for them.

Anyway, they came in at about 8:30 pm and must have been 25-30 or more and always about a dozzen in the light. Some real fatties too.

There was this huge white pig that kept wallowing in the peanut butter...must be some kinky thing she got going on back in the pig private area. Every time I prepared to shoot, her vital was blocked by a sapling that no longer exists!

Finaly was given a good angle on a nice un about 250lbs and as I started to draw, my nock fell of the string. I barely caught the arrow with my finger as it tipped forward off the shelf. I need to put some more dental floss on the string as the nocks on my woodies are too loose. After recovering, I picked a spot and made what I thought was a beautiful shot. Pigs scattered but two remained so I nocked another arrow just so I could scare those last pigs off.

Unfortunatly, the blood trail was sparse and long. There was never a lot of blood and no pooling. He also never stopped. I figure I hit him high and probably only caught one lung. My broken Arrow did look good, but blood trail didn't. I will have to give it another look tomorrow, but meat will be bad by then.

enjoy some living pig pics while I work at getting some dead ones for ya. thanks, bigjim...when drew has time to post them..

[Bud B.]

Sounds like excitement and addiction is not just with the pigs on the PB. I could get easily hooked on hunting like this.

Keep at it Jim. And keep the posts coming.

Good luck.

[BigJim]

I will do my best, but extra late nights and early mornings are tough...tried to sleep in, but when my big "HEAVY" dog tripple D (formerly just DD) wants up, she just lays on top of me and puts her head under my chin...then demands heavy petting!
this normally takes place between 5am and 6am.

this morning she must have felt sorry for me cause she went back to sleep for 30  min. when Ignored her advances.
