"Whitetail Hollow" - 90 Acres NE Oklahoma.
- Thread starter OkieKubota
- Start date
I sprayed cleth on the 2 clover plots here on the hollow and then took my spray rig down to our other place and sprayed a little over 2 acres with gly. I mainly spray to kill grass because I have found grass will continue to grow until frost and I am not a fan of grass anywhere other than my yard.
I hope to plant by labor day weekend. I still have to get lime and fertilizer and I will be good to go...
I also brushhogged 4 hours commercially today so I got quite a bit of stuff done. From now till end of September I have quite a bit to do for my customers...
If my wife can get our scanner going I will show some hogs I killed in the past...I have killed some pretty good ones over the years
Thanks! He was like a thorn in my side
I walked into a big group of them several years ago in the dark at a wma I was bowhunting. I had no light and the noises those hogs made would sure make the hair stand up on the back of your neck!
Farmers co-op in Tahlequah. They ordered in quite a bit this year because I bugged them so much for it
Years ago I paid to go hog hunting. I shot a Russian Black Boar, ate the meat and mounted the head. The head arrived in the mail and I hung it over the fireplace while the dog was outside. Later that evening the dog was in the house laying down when it looked up... spotted the beast with two long tusks and wild glass eyes... she yipped and bolted from the room with her tail between her legs. LOL
Times have changed and hogs are considered a nuisance, but your hog still made a great story, took a good pic, and I still see a trophy!

Glad you got him! hope that takes care of your hog issues for a while!!
I have killed several of the "Russian" strain hogs in Texas and also in southern Oklahoma...On one of our trips down to southern Oklahoma I took a hog hunting newby for a bowhunt and he shot a big old sow in an overgrown grass field. When she ran off before she died we went to where she stood up from when he shot and there was a hog nest with 6 little pigs in it. Fawn colored with "racing stripes" as I like to call them on the true wild strains. The guy who shot the hog felt real bad but he never saw the young ones so he didn't know she had a litter. He also lived in the city so he had nowhere to keep pigs so we took the 6 and gave 4 of them to the ranch hand and I kept 2 small boars for myself.
I bottle raised those little guys in our house until they were took to food and then moved them outdoors to a pen I built behind out house. Those 2 boars grew to huge proportions and grew some extremely formidable looking tusks and were very aggressive. They were never outside of that pen which was a bout 60' x 60'. We used to have 3D archery shoots at our house some and one of the shots was the stake was about 1 foot from the hog pen. Made for some unnerving shooting with a huge wild boar hog woofing at you from inches away and trying to get through the fence.
1 day a friend of mine approached me about purchasing one of them for a breeder for some sows he wanted to stock on his hunting land (back then we thought we wanted them). We made an agreement and he brought a horse trailer over so we backed his trailer up near the pen and put a hog panel on both sides securely and then I cut the hog wire between to let the hogs in to that area to get into the trailer. We put corn in the trailer and when those hogs took there first step onto ground they had never walked they went nuts! They ended up busting under the hog panels and getting out of the confined areas and they chased my buddy up onto a borrowed trailer I had sitting there and proceded to knock the taillights out of the trailer. We made a dash for the house and I got my 30-06. When we went back outside 1 hog was headed toward my parents house and the other was headed toward a neighbors. We jumped in his truck and took off after them and the hog headed to my folks ran up and was raking the truck so I shot him and then we went to the other side of our place and shot the other one...
Even though those hogs had always had good clean feed and grain their entire lives and we took great care in preserving the meat and even took them to the local slaughter house right away and told them to season and everything else the smell of it cooking would still run you out of the house
Your a tougher guy than me if you can stand to eat full grown, uncut, wild boar meat. If they are cut when young and de-nutted they are fine but if they keep the nads then they are worthless for tablefare...
I have pictures but will have to get the scanner working to post them...
I think it will Dennis - Thanks!

In 1982 I was attending a military school in AL, when I booked a hunt near Crossville, TN over Christmas break. It wasn't much of a hunt and was over in about an hour. I had no knowledge of high fences at the time and the pigs were in a very large enclosure, maybe a mile by a mile, that was located near the Smokey Mountains. The fence had one way gates, so that hogs could enter the property, but couldn't escape, like a giant hog trap.
I think the boar weighed about 150 pounds, so maybe he hadn't taken on the strong odor yet, plus the meat was ground into sausage.
When one has not been cut they take on a real bad taste pretty quickly if they are mature...sausage won't save it... Was your hog cut because some of those places do that in the pens...

Wow and i was worried about us having a drought here in PA. I am so sorry to see that at your place. We are so vulnerable to mother nature and we have to just roll with the punches she gives us! I hope and Pray it gets better there for you!! Bring on the rain Please!!!
Man I hope so! Funny thing is that green is covering my current location but not a drop has fallen! Wonder if it's evaporating before hitting the ground?
