but they were big, I think the sow on the right took a 300wm 180 grainer fair between eyes, I had to do a little cosmetic work on her before taking the photo.

What happened to the winch for hauling the horses onto the deck? Looks like hot work

The winch is ok, bloody hot work but wear the longs sleeves & trou simply to keep the bugs off me.

Got a call from the missus at 5:30 last night that the pigs were roaming on the farm.
This is from through her car window.

Left work and up on the farm by 6pm. No sign of them. Waited quietly until nightfall. Not a sound. Little buggers.
I went up again this morning before the sun came up and lay in wait but still no sign.
I haven't laid the bait yet. I mixed up the maize and milk this morning and left it in the sun to brew.
I'll probably do the blood and bone and maize on saturday arvo.

Use some bait bonitos that have gone foul or whip the guts out of something and they will come running. There is an offal hole next door to a place i shoot and it always brings in some pigs.

UPDATE:
I got my trailcam in the mail yesterday. Got my blood and bone in the back of the truck and my maize, milk and yeast fermenting on the deck. All ready to bait up this weekend.
The pigs have been consistently turning up around 5:30pm on the farm this week. I think shite I can't leave it too long or else someone else'll grab them.
Today I knocked off at 3:45 and shot home. Buggers are already out. I grab my gear and head back up. Sneak up next to the paddock behind silage bales. Good, they're still there.
I range them at 350 yards. Then they all bale. Shit!
Two bigger ones and a littley eventually show themselves closer, 250yds. But all of a sudden they bolt. Bugger, this wind is swirling around.
I wait. The othe mob finally re-appear at 350 again. Hearts racing a little, settle down.
They're constantly moving. I set myself up, Bang! Dropped the bugger. There's pigs running everywhere. Can't get another shot away.
Choice my first pig! Bloody small but it sure will taste good.

Start baiting them up Johnio they'll be back.

Can you set up some hay bales and a shooting rest a bit closer?

Cheers

Yeah I reckon I'll be able to. This was a bit rushed plus there was a big farkin' bull in the same paddock I was a bit wary of.

Yeah not a good Idea to tangle with the Bull.

I try an give them unpredictable bastards a wide berth.

Post ya pig pics when you start nailing them.

I've seen what they can do Rushy.

My old man used to ride the bulls in Rodeo ..... when I say Ride I really mean try to hang on.

Seen more than a few sets of yards smashed apart when they get a mind too as well

Best thing is to keep out of their way.

I have much admiration for your dad then Pete. I attended the Calgary Stampede years ago and watched just how long seven seconds really is. Those bulls are insane.

Top marks mate - I went up to my goat spot this arvo just to have a look, Farmer said there might be some pigs around. Holy shit was there what!!!!! Hoping I can borrow a game camera, the whole bowl where I get the most of my goats is completely rooted!!!!! I think I'll buy some blood and bone tomorrow.
