We have a local trapper that comes in with his dogs and traps them for free. He’s given me lots of pork in return. Yum.
He has a couple of dogs that he uses to trap the boars, it’s really pretty cool. One is a hound (bay) that finds them, the other a (catch) mastiff sort of dog (I don’t know what he breed is) that catches the boars by the throat and holds them until he can get there, snare them and put them in a cage. Both of the dogs wear these big heavy leather collars with spikes on them. -D > On Jan 5, 2018, at 3:16 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Bruce Gamble, in The Black Sheep describes a situation in the South Pacific, > were wild hogs were wrecking things, so a fence was set up to keep them out. > The fence was of limited success.
