Yummy, where do you get the extra fat for the sausages, or do you?

This years pigs didn't require extra fat. I would say they had at least an inch of fat on the hams and up the backstraps. Takes a little longer to scrape off the hide but cheaper than going to the store for it. I included another after shot picture.

He may be a landowner but I bet he’s not a farmer or rancher.

Could be. Look at the other side of that coin, I'm a landowner but not a farmer/rancher. I still kill every hog I can. My mom doesn't go for her walks anymore because of the uneven ground from rooting, she's afraid to fall. My kids don't utilize the complete property on the dirt bike bike I spend a lot of money on because, "it's too bumpy down there". I get beat up from the bouncing while brush hogging the place. We all have different reasons for killing hogs, or not killing them. 15 years ago I was excited they had come to my place because it gave me another species to hunt. Now, I wish they never came.

Nothin. Kill more. They are the end of deer hunting. They are the plague. Killem all. No mercy. No nothin. Killem now or never hunt anything but a trashy hog.

After having thousands in crops and seed destroyed by them, I drop everyone I can. I don't know a single farmer that wouldn't do the same. I'm all for trying to help those in need and often try to, but I wouldn't let a cockroach crawl around my house either. It gets dead and tossed, I pretty much put pigs in the same class.

We have a dedicated bone yard area everyone takes there animals or carcass to. It's away from camp and away from anyone's stands.
