    I just built a 100yd range to sight-in the AR and .308. The pigs have become trap shy but there are 2 fat ones gorging themselves at the protein feeder every night. Time to bring out the heavy artillery to finish them off. I put a cellular game camera on the target so I can check my hits on my phone without having to walk up there every shot. Not sure why I never thought of that before but pretty happy I finally did. 


    Nice set up man!   Is your .308 AR-10 or bolt?   

    Regardless, take those suckers out, the amount of damage they cause is a real issue.  
    .308 is bolt. 

    We have 5 pigs left. Big boar, big sow and 3 6-12mo old smaller ones. The smaller ones were back in the trap last 2 nights so I’m going to spring it again tomorrow night. Would
    love to smoke 1 or both of the big ones and trap the smaller ones. Hope to be pig free by the end of the week. They did manage to break my feeder last night so now it’s personal haha

    My favorite kind of evening.  
    Got out early to mow this morning, a day early.  Blistering hot in the early afternoon.  Started getting very dark at about 5, and now the doors are rattling from the wind, there's a large branch on my freshly-mowed lawn, it's now downpouring and the outside temp has dropped 22º (since opening just two windows the inside temp has dropped 10º!) and it's thundering wonderfully (we usually only get thunder/lightning during snowstorms here).

    Stepped out into the carport, and the gutters are flowing like whitewater, and starting to come over the curbs.  Love it!!!  (we've had NO precipitation since mid-June)

    Hey man, my previous offer remains, if you need any help with eradication let me know.   Seems like you have the help you need but if additional help is needed let me know.  I hate seeing landowners, like you, suffer the consequences of invasive species.

    Appreciate the offer but we are all good out here. We only have 5 pigs left and we will take care of those this week. We have very good fences and cameras on all the food sources so I’m confident these are the last pigs we currently have. My neighbors and actually enjoy doing this on my place and on theirs. We have never been out of control with hogs here. This is the most action we have had in the 3 years I have lived here.

    Quite shameful, assuming the allegations are accurate.

    just came in from the "morning after the night before" cleaning of the egg. Nothing special last night (burgers and sweet corn) which needed a particular cleaning, it's just something I enjoy doing in the early morning. The neighbourhood is quiet, birds are out and the air is crisp and clean. After I scrub off the grills and put the cleaned ash into the compost I pick lump for the next burn and fill up the basket. Then I am ready to strike a match if I have a spur of the moment desire to egg.

    I like the quiet solitude while I clean up the egg and get ready for the next burn. The house and backyard are a different place with just me and nature. 
    You might want to repost this in the "Need some inspiration/ideas" thread; the OP needs some "chill/relax/ enjoy things" vibes thrown his way.

    Agreed. Doesn’t seem very Canadian.

    Way cheaper than... what?  What do you pay for yard service, and how often?
