Trapping wild hog sounders deep in the river bottom. (Flood warning)

[@Leavon]

David, don't take the comments here to heart. I trapped when I was back in high school and I know what it takes, there are a ton of folks out there that are ignorant of anything beyond their doorstep. You keep doing what you're doing, plenty of us support what you are doing.

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

That’s right.

[@hadleyscott1160]

I trapped while in school too. It gave me pocket money and kept me out of trouble and kept me busy every morning before going to school. Mostly raccoons and muskrats.

Hi David, I'm from the UK where a lot of people don't like us hunting. However they don't understand land management. Everything you do is very ethical. Keep up the good work, I love your videos and would love to hunt in the areas you work on.

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Thank you

[@daverickards7647]

I am from the UK as well my friend. Absolutely love David's channel . A lot of people don't realise that we need vermin control. Take care 🙂

[@haydenbretton2990]

I too am from the UK, I am a retired slaughter man and I used to cull farmed wild boar, ( hybrids ) for sale to the game dealers. The boar were large fenced catchment areas, selection was made by running a selection into a smaller area, selected then dispatched.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Good evening David ! I’m glad you throw in the educational aspect of Hogs and why they are trapped . You feed many family’s and you are managing the land from being destroyed . This has been a thing for centuries!! Why people act like you just started trapping !! Keep up the great work and blessings to you all !!!

[@kelseyjames5119]

When I was 16 and in high school, I got hired along with my grandpa trapping wild horses . These feral horses did a lot of damage to the land and made wildlife very scarce. So I understand what your doing and seeing you trap hogs takes me back to the days I use to trap wild horses. Awesome channel.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Every once in a while, I run across an article about feral hogs. Last one I read talked about all the diseases pigs can carry. Hogs are great reservoirs for the flu virus to do some shifting and mixing up of the flu DNA. They can also carry several other zoonotic diseases (diseases that both the hogs and humans can catch). Just another reason we need people like David to eliminate the pests.

[@deannajones6963]

That bridge looked a little iffy! Be careful out there! Great to see all the varmints you catch & love your commentary & testimony! May God continue to bless you as you do His plan He has for you. You bless so many folks by feeding them, witnessing & just being you! Thank you!!💜

[@scottdahl1938]

That bridge looked like it was made of steel with boards laid over the top. In the middle of the woods you need wood to replace rotted stuff? A bit of irony there.😁

[@deannajones6963]

@Scott Dahl Lol! Sorry, I thought it was all wood with missing parts of board. 😉🙂

[@scottdahl1938]

@@deannajones6963 Nothing to be sorry about here. The same thought occurred to me which was why I was looking a tad harder. Lumnah's Acres have a bridge over a creek which they took on for the same reason. Theirs was wood on wood however. Dave doesn't have the same call or permissions. He still reads comments so he might pass it along to who ever does. Never hurts to say something cause nobody likes Mr. Murphy's mischief to hard working friends. Such as baptizing his piggies in the creek as he did.👍

[@johanleroux6403]

David all the respect to you and all the people doing these trapings. I've seen your previous videos and the damage these hogs are causing. Most people are just what I call "keyboard worriers" by complaining about everything but not understanding the impact these damages has to farmers and homesteads. Don't take these bad comments to heart. Be safe and may God bless you

[@northwood60]

it's good to see what it takes to be a trapper - late nights and early (cold) mornings! Thanks for taking me along for the ride!

[@downunderfulla6001]

I asked the same questions a couple years ago when I found your channel about raising the piglets to 6mths, only because you are feeding families. Your explanation to me about your areas laws enlightened me. I’m not a trapper but have been involved with pest control/land management. So I know the devastation that can occur from little rabbits to the larger like buffalo or brumbies. Keep on keeping on Yawt, you do your area a great justice👍👌🍺🍺

[@casienwhey]

David, you are a wise man and speak the truth. I agree with you fully it's important to stay busy and contribute something to the world, not just sitting on your butt waiting for a handout. I think about the bums and drug users who are sleeping on the streets of many cities, doing nothing productive but just getting high, begging and/or stealing from others. They could learn a lot from you and your work ethic.

[@marywillaby6663]

Aren't you afraid that the bridge you cross is going to collapse? I hold my breathe every time I see you go across it!! God bless you!

[@brendaabernathy448]

David it is so nice to watch your videos without hearing bad language. The job you are doing take a mean vicious animal out while helping people get the meat. The damage these hogs do is aweful. Thank you for a job well done. Stay safe. God bless.

[@michaeldorich4485]

You're doing good work with the hogs. I thought it was amazing when you dropped the trap one of the piglets was almost fast enough to escape. You would be great person for Ranger commercials.

[@overwatch2671]

David Just look at those cute lil baby piglets. Those piglets and their mommies are gonna be great table fare for a family in need. Great job brother. Keep up the good work.

[@knotengajin7359]

I kind of think he needs to keep and tame one just for fun!

[@overwatch2671]

@@knotengajin7359 the problem with that is in most states, keeping wild hogs is illegal. Back in the day. My grandfather kept a wild hog in a pen at all times. That hog would be fattened up by feeding it corn and would be taken to the slaughterhouse and processed for the table. It's been my experience from feeding those wild hogs as part of my chores. Those hogs never got over being caught and locked in a pen. They were wild until the slaughtering.

[@knotengajin7359]

@@overwatch2671 Not that long ago, like up into the 1960s, homesteader types still existed and let their meat hogs wander free feeding themselves until slaughter time. These domestic hogs interbred with imported boar producing the diversity in size and coloration we see in feral hogs today. Setting that aside, I was speaking more along the lines of going the pet route rather than ham meaning lots of direct interaction.

[@JimBerthiaume]

Great channel! Land management is the same as a house pest problem. In our homes we trap pest, either indoor "rodents" or outdoor "racoons, skunks And hogs!

[@farleyrezendes3118]

When you were saying in the video that "The Lord chose me to have this job to do what and live a dream making money...and here I am at 43 doing what I love and being exactly what I want to be..." I can so relate to this. I got saved when I was 19. A few years after I got saved, lots of people told me "You'd make a great pastor someday." I said, "NO WAY!!!!" 9 years ago, 2 years of Bible school, and applying to 55 different churches, God blessed me with a job at my home church as an assistant pastor. I know the feeling when God has you doing what you were designed to be doing for work. Thanks for sharing, David!!!

[@deborahgould5695]

Hi David I love every video I've seen you put out. And what I love even more is when you put that spiritual food out there for people to hear. Addiction is a terrible thing to have and harder to get rid of. I saw a lot of things I had never seen before when I was living in N.O. I read somewhere that idle hands are the devil's workshop; and idle lips are his mouthpiece. A worthless man devises mischief, and in his lips there is a scorching fire.

[@hermesperez3905]

I understand you even though I am from the city. While you were explaining the reasons for hog control, you made me think of it like the city rat problem here in Chicago. I don't know a single person who would have that same sympathy for rats. Instead of rats, you have dangerous hogs. Many folks don't understand how dangerous a wild hog is as well as being the nuisance. You keep doing what you're doing. That's your calling! Thanks for feeding the needy.
