Well I have STOPPED all hunting & trapping on my PRIVATE property for the first time in almost 12 years! I have told my friends that can't hunt also.

November 26th, 2018 because the USDA APHIS hog trapper came out, which is required because I am in a CWD Zone County and he put out corn out to try to trap Wild Hog Boar.

December 18th, 2018 - Geronimo the Wild Hog has WON! The U.S. Government has surrender and after I believe 6 bags of corn in 23 days and 46,255 photos of Raccoons and Deer, they will no longer be putting corn out and will pick up camera next week after Christmas and will give up.

​Could have caught that Wild Hog in October but because of the regulations I had to make a choice hunt deer on the best deer hunting part of my property or wait and hope to trap a Wild hog. Since I am next to Conservation Ground the trapper could not trap on their either and no one could shoot it legally. Now unless I catch that hog before Jan 15th I will loose 7 weeks of hunting and possible 2 months of trapping on my 81 acres.

Bollinger County is in a CWD Zone 2018 - It is Illegal to put 5-gallon bucket of corn and pour strawberry soda, beer, yeast over it allowed it to spoil for a week or two in the sun and then bury it under the dirt SPECIFICALLY FOR KILLING HOGS

1. Because deer might be drawn to it and that person my kill it
&
2. CWD is spread from deer to deer and the potential for transmission increases when deer gather in larger, concentrated numbers. Feeding deer or placing minerals for deer unnaturally concentrates the animals and can help spread the deadly disease. The goal of the expanded feeding ban is to help limit the spread of CWD.

I am glad I was forced to stop putting minerals out this year!!!!!! Doing my part to prevent spreading CWD!

OH - Except when the U.S Government or State Government does it, then just plain whole bags of corn is OK!. P.S. 17 more sites just like this in Bollinger County at this moment.

17,077 photos just a sampling of the deer for 7 days out of the 23 days of baiting for hogs. 

​Oh I forgot went thru one and 1/2 bags of corn in 4 days. LOL

Perfect example: The only 3 daylight photos since Nov 26th of the 23 days and 46,255 photos, other than someone driving ATV every two to four days too put another bag of corn, driving across my entire property.

You cannot put human pressure on my small acreage. Has been that way for 11 years. Since September had individuals tell me, you can do this to get rid of hog, you can do this won't bother your deer, just trap it, shoot, run dogs, etc, etc, etc, and know nothing about my property. NO ONE knows your property better than you.

​ Exact same thing would have happen, in Oct or Nov if I would have tried anything. The only difference is two doe and one buck would still be alive
