Panhandling

15 trees split, bucked and stacked, only about 5% left up at the house, stacking it there for seawall and the fireplace in the Gally.

The split stack is 1Mx2Mx7M.

Laid one med sow out the other night, skinned and quatered for small smoker. Just about the right size to smoke whole, did thay with my buddy, Dan Labrador, immigrated from Cuba when he was 11... I got to cut the pig after roasting. Dan was a Crew Chief on MC-130's, passed due to cancer 10 years ago. He turned me onto the Cuban pig roast. When we get into construction gonna make one up front in the burn pit. Got the wood.

Made the stack upfront by the seawall and new, not yet built, Gally fireplace. Little more than a cord.

It was neat to see everyone lined up along the pier looking for a cruising tarpon last summer. I didn’t do too hot from the surf that week

Got a new privte parcel N of a local river. Cypress swamps amd AG, such as it is here in NW FL, up higher.

Owner said another guy had put a fenced hog trap on it, owner said I could use it if I want other guy hasn't been on the property in a decade. I'll only hunt wild boar here, although it had some a bunch of deer on it.

Scouted it out the other day, tossed out a camera and some bait. Place had been hit by rooting pigs s day or so prior to walking it... good sign.

Found the old trap sight.

Got after it, cleared the brush, fixed a couple issues with the old t-posts, added some new ones and cut off the old control box and camera.

Got the old lactch to work after a liberal application of lubrication.

Called Jager Pro, the old equipment manufacturer, talked to thier repair guy - sounded good to send it what I removed, vam and control box. He'd look at it and LMK the way forward.

I packed it up senate when he got it.He called and was really excited. Yeager pro is founded by a vet, and most of the guys that work for him are veterans as well.

Apparently the camera that I sent was the gen one of yegerpro from 2014, they had a new one on the wall.But they didn't have one that had been used. He said he put it on the wall and we laughed.Because any good unit has an operational trophy room. That old camera went up in their trophy room.

I put the kill light and camera on the trap bated it and within twenty four hours.I had boar inside the trap.

At this point I wasn't sure if I was planning to just hunt the bait, and pigs coming in and out of the trap, or actually refurbish the thing.

Bought the parts got him in to.Day anne planning to set the feeder and refurbish the gate on site If possible tomorrow. If not Keith, and I'll pull it and weld whatever we need and take it back up and a week or so.
