Road Kill
About 3 weeks ago my wife and I headed to the beach just a few miles from the house to ride and enjoy the scenery. On the way back I looked down the pipeline and about 200 yards from the road I saw a big black hog strolling across the pipeline, the time was 10:30 AM.
That got me to thinking, a lone big hog has to be a boar...just about all around us the land is being cleared due to progress and most of the hogs have been pushed out…this boar chose to live close to all the commotion and probably eating scraps thrown out by the different contractors coming and going.
It took me a bit to figure out how to make a quick hunt and catch the boar…the plan, feed corn in the pipeline about 50 yards from the road making sure it is during the full moon, and waiting until the weather cools off some due to the many rattlesnakes in the area…I would take one strike dog and my catch dog…invite a strong youngster with his catch dog and we would catch us a big boar hog, a good plan if I say so myself…
Today my wife and I were headed to the beach just cruising…on our way out there I was looking down the pipeline and the general area just familiarizing myself with the details…on the way back from the beach I noticed what looked like a dead hog on the opposite side of the road but in the ditch…I turned and went back to inspect and sure enough…it was the big boar…it appears he was hit on the back half of his body…been dead for about a week and that killed the plan…the property does not have fencing and used to be no man's land… won't be long it will house several different companies and the biggest will be Volks Wagon…The marsh is drained and roads are being built all in the name of progress…
I used to run 5 or 6 dogs at one time at the beach, way back when no one went to the beach…now it has a leash law that is enforced and it gets bumper to bumper with vehicles during the summer months weekends…
