The last of the small feral hogs is removed from Vulture Gulch area.
Across the road in the large pasture, a large sounder of feral hogs were seen. This large cage was delivered and set up to live trap those animals. It is called "Goin Fencing". It is 30 foot wiide and 6 feet tall. It is outfitted with a remote control camera to trigger the trap door when the sounder is all inside and not accidentally trap a deer or other animal that might enter for the bait.
