Went grocery shopping, called the kids to check on them, took a long walk on this breezy, warmer day.
We had visitors last night. The hogs paid us another visit and tore up two separate places in the yard really badly. They were here about 10 days ago and that led to a bunch of holes to fill and a lot of lost sleep staying up nights. One of the spots they tore up last night was exactly the place they tore up last time they came and that I had already repaired.
It looks as if it is staying up late time again. I hate hogs partly because they are smarter than me. I've stayed up until 4 in the morning and they haven't showed up until I've gone to bed. I've got out of bed at 3 in the morning only to find that they have already been there. I can't trap them because they know what a trap is and they won't go in. They'll eat the bait all around it though. I've been spraying the yard for bugs, ants especially, every two or three weeks lately so the grubs should be taken care of too. I can't spray any more without turning the yard in to a toxic no-go zone.
Time to dig out the game cameras again, check the rifle and the varmit light and get set up for a long cool night.
I live in a subdivision. Well domesticated from the wild beasts of the world. As I listen to your tales about hogs, I feel a bit silly with my own annoyance of squirrels.
