How much does a pig like that run you, or do you raise them or know the farmer?
In this case i knew the farmer. 200# pig for $100

The wood is what tore me up!
Haha, how much wood did you use/what did that cost ya? More than the pig?
That’s a great price, yeesh, I need to go hit up my friends and see if they will do a deal like that
I ran 3/4 bag of splits an hour. 12 bags at $20 a bag. I ordered a pallet to get it at that proce tho.
In hindsight i should have run lump with it
Yeesh, ya, that’s expensive lol.
Still though, that’s got to be less than 4$ a lb of Cooked local pork, can’t go wrong there. Can’t wait for the after picture

I know a hog farmer and we get ours hogs for free and butcher it ourselves…in the height of the CV-19 pandemic the meat processing plants were shut down and he had to kill 350+ hogs and just bury them…what a waste that was…we also butcher our own cattles…

Dang, that’s a nice walk in right there.
We got a real problem with ferals in the SE US, the government man will even pay for you to use their fancy traps as long as you can prove you drop the gate on more than a dozen(I think it is) 3x. They reimburse you of course, not up front. Makes a good way to trade for hunting on other people’s land though. I don’t really like the meat, it’s really really gamey, but it makes good sausage.

We have them here too and have taken them down with a compound and recurve bows…those small pigs are the best, suckling pigs…
I’ve done that too, 30+ yrs. ago…I looked into helicopter pig hunts in Texas and back then it was 1K per hour…probably charge way more now…

Yeah I’ve been in a couple of those hunts with the dogs, on foot up in Georgia and they tied the pig up, like lassoed it and then finished it, and then on a giant swamp buggy with skidder tires down in Florida swamps, like a monster truck but open canopy, had to shoot one of them 3x with a 12 gauge. The guide was like, if I tell you to run, you run as fast as you can and then jump behind a tree or that boar will eat you up. 
Okay, enough off-topic from me, good memories and swapping stories y’all. Back to the grillin and chillin
