How...ellie, I agree that that is the best strategy. However, the state conservation department can't decide what to do with the darned things. I didn't know you could catch them and feed them out. What a great idea! I am looking forward to camp too. I love the peaceful mornings on the porch and the lack of hustle and hurry. This place is always such a madhouse!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-87924337347385815602015-07-05T20:38:25.765-04:002015-07-05T20:38:25.765-04:00Shoot them on sight and put them in the freezer.

They multiply like rabbits.if you can get young ones and cut them they make much better meat, if my family can get young ones we feed them out and then butcher them. I am looking forward to your camping trip, you always have some great pics to show.<br />ellie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729353476036309006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-54404722538204680642015-07-05T06:44:33.631-04:002015-07-05T06:44:33.631-04:00Jacqueline, it does!

It would be nice if they came when the boy was getting home on weekends....every other week. he is such a help to his dad<br /><br />Ellie, that is awful! I am so worried about boars. A few of them made it into NY, either escaped from game farms or migrated up from Pennsylvania. The DEC can't make up its mind whether we should shoot on sight or not shoot at all and let them trap them. None here, but Alan saw a feral hog about five miles from here a couple of years ago. I dread seeing one and I am sorry you are facing them...and armadillos...and rabbits. <br /><br />Linda, thanks, it was fun. I just happened to go walking at sunset and I was in one of our few spots where you can see west without too many trees or buildings.<br /><br />Merri, you are so right about the joys of camping. The cabin we rent has a porch right over the water...you can fish right off it...I can't wait to let Peggy catch her first fish. The rock bass come right up and bite about anything you drop down there. My brothers and I grew up fishing in the same lake, as my family has done since my grandparents' days. I love it there!<br /><br />Cathy, thanks, it was fun. I have seen many done much better, but it was a really nice evening with Indigo Buntings all around and I just had a good time playing.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-83067563245060453352015-07-02T23:54:57.775-04:002015-07-02T23:54:57.775-04:00Wonderful picture of gently grasping the sun!

We now have an armadillo that digs for food that is tearing up our yard. We would trap it but it is illegal to do so, they are protected here in Florida. They are so nasty looking and do so much damage. Our poor farmers are fighting wild boars, they can tear up a pasture or groove in a night. It is open season on them at all times. They young ones are very tasty roasted. My grand daughter is 13 and has already bagged a nice size one, they had the whole thing made into sausage.
