The ole Hog 'house'

17 years ago

{{!gwi}}

This old shed was on the same property as the Outhouse. I was used at one time as a "house" for the pigs to get into out of the weather. Funny thing too. It was nearly filled with old steele/tin Beer cans. I took a few photos of some of the ones that were in better shape which I will post later.

Ground Hog and Possum problem !!!

Danny, my area has loads of deer and rabbits but my special homebrew recipe seems to keep them at a distance. Human urine dabbled around the garden perimeter after each rain. I save it up during the winter and spread once plants have germinated, not too close to the plants but close enough. It's free and plentiful but it does go fast during a rainy season. Might go into business one day, label the product as "P1ssoff!" ;o) - Try it, they won't like it! (esp after a long winter, ha). Note : not sure if it will deter possums - they smell so bad themselves that they may not notice.

Get a 22 rifle and some hollow points & keep the gun in a car, shed or garage, if the wife doesn't want one in the house. Or, send her out with the air gun. GH's aren't my most favorite critter, by a long shot...I do shoot them. Even a 22 hollow point isn't an instant death. They are tuff critters. I always make sure they die as quickly as possible, no matter how many bullets it takes. I prefer to use the 12 ga. shot gun. It is MUCH more deadly, but...one needs to be in the correct range. Not always possible. I could never drown anything.

I can imagine the hogs wallowing..... but the rest of the stuff I imagined (while suffering through many delays) should probably be kept to myself! Nice bit of family history though.
