Probably will have to keep going for some time yet...as long as mother nature will allow me the mobility and strength to get everything done. I buy corn half a ton at a time and it ususally lasts me about 6 weeks. Lifting those 50 lb. bags over your head to fill feeders can do some strange things to an old guy. I only have 5 feeders going right now, so it's not too bad.
I have gotten to where I can remove both hind legs from a medium hog, skin them out and have them in plastic bags in under 5 minutes per animal. I need to keep several knives at hand though if working on a few of them. That sandy, hairy skin can sure take the edge off of one.
Just out of curiosity I thought I'd check out the question of hunting licenses. I e-mailed Texas Parks and Recreation Dept. and asked them about it. They said if a person was on private property with the landowners permission and was hunting hogs for depradation purposes they would not need a license.
