Trapping ThisWell I would like to start out this blog by thanking Steve Remington and the Skinny Moose Network for letting us be part of this great team..

One of the great benefits of being a wildlife management professional (WMP) is spending a lot of time outdoors and with our youth. You see, a lot of children have not had the opportunity to spend any time in the woods or in a rural setting  in fact most youth now days are brought up on concrete and steel. Thus this gives us an opportunity to go into urban areas to remove nuisance animals and educate the public as well.

So now to the good stuff. I have been trapping this trailer park for about 5 years and every year we get the call “Back there,” and so we set a couple of traps for awhile. Well last Saturday morning we got the call “Black Hog Caught”

Most of the feral hogs we catch at this site are around 60-70 pounds, But this time this was a good sized one.

Feral Hog Trapping

This sow weighs about 175. She had a lot more potential but she was on the skinny side… Notice the long snout on this piney wood rooter.

So thats it for my inaugural blog on Skinny Moose…

Keep checking back for more posts.
