hogs

stxhunter, what do you guys use for bait to get that many hogs in a trap?

[stxhunter]

we where useing corn the trap has four square tube doors that hang down the hogs can push them in and up to get in but they can't open back the other way so even after one hog goes in others can follow i know guys who use the same setup but larger and they will keep a sow in the trap to get more hogs to come in

Talking about skinning pigs. My ex father law taught me to skin them just like you skin anything else. Hang by back legs and start skinning the only thing was is it was more of a scrape then a slice with the knife. It really taught you how to skin with out cutting the hide. It takes alot more time then skinning anything else that's for sure.

Tom P. in Evant, Texas, my ranch neighbor, skins his hogs by first hanging them up, making a one inch slit on the top just forward of the tail, sticking 150 pound shop air hose into the slit on a long air needle and inflating them. Pulls the skin right off the meat. Craziest thing I ever saw but works very well!

I use a diamond blade knife. Costly but works quite well on these pigs and goes quite a ways before dulling. Then I send them back to Denton, Texas where they make'm and they put on another edge for me for the cost of shipping back and forth.
