I've roped a couple out in the flats before. Pretty fun deal. The hog would get tired/pissy and come up the rope popping it jaws. Most saddle horses today don't know that experience. Anyway, I'd take off, air him out, ear mark, castrate the males, and go on our way.
Have shot plenty in the horse pens at the house. That place had walnut trees in all of the pens at the house.
I could step out my back door in my skivvies, and pop one in the ear with a 22 quite often.
Went to trapping them later. Soaked a can of corn for bait. it seemed to work?
Ah, the good old days.
I doubt the hogs could live in my desert?
