I used this forum so as to not hack anything good! Some may remember last week I shot a couple hogs and caught a little guy. I tried to give him away but nobody showed up. It took me all week to tame him, and now I can play with him like a puppy--he gets rough like a puppy too if I get rough with him. I call him Chopper (long for pork chop). I figured I ought to include a picture of his mom too. She came out of the crock pot this morning!
That is cool and messed up all in one. Hogs are pretty smart animals and can make good pets until they get really big and territorial. I've seen a few caught and kept as pets, but the boars normally get too aggressive with strangers and the owners put them down. Cute little guy.
I'll be honest, I've had multiple opportunities to catch hogs that size but figured they would be mean lil dudes. Maybe I'm just plain chicken. Chopper looks down-right cute and cuddly; I'm having me a couple next chance I get!
I've done that many times. If it's a boar make sure to castrate it. If it's a sow make sure to guard it well as it will attract boars. You already messed up by naming it but good luck, you'll have a boat load of meat in around 2 years. The big black hog I posted pictures of right after the gtg was one I castrated like that. It took 4 years to get to 500+ lbs.
If it is a boar just stick him between your legs butt up it the air use a scalpel make one slice in the middle squeeze them little things out of there and pull them off slap some neosporin on there and good to go!! He is going to make some noise but he will be just fine BANG BANG!! PS: Then clean them things up slice them in half and fry them up and have some grits and eggs and toast!! BANG BANG!!
Sounds easy. Poor little guy. lol I think I will find a new home for him. Just want to get him pet worthy first.
I would get too attached, they are as smart as a dog and that could make them a part of the family till they got to big and you had to eat him.
Teach him to grunt on command.... Ya just have to tie a bow or something around his neck so ya dont shoot him by accident.
I was thinking about one of those mini-me things, carry him around for scent cover and then poke him once in a while to get some real life grunts.
