The razor backs north Oz have lots of terrain to run around & don't normal see them that aggro when trapped , they too tired from running around

[@styersdale]

Thank you very much for having David "Yawt Yawt" Ellis on your show. Not only is he entertaining, but he's also educating the public on the need to control the nuisance hogs in Mississippi.

[@jasonstiers6951]

Giving God the glory is my absolute favorite part of YawtYawt channel.

[@beautifulfoodgardeningchan4330]

Believe it or not. I was watching videos of Texas wild hog shooting at night. When I stumbled across the YAwt Yawt. I've stayed with his videos because his personality and his show ender of professing Christ.

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

Thank you

My granddaddy taught me that the one thing everyone has in common is that they don't care about most things until it comes in and sets down on their couch. Remember this and you'll be a happier man,

Man, that dude is the truth. As someone from Philadelphia, PA, who knows nothing about the country, I've learned so much from the Yawt-Yawt and love watching him do his thing.

As a true devoted follower of Yawt yawts channel, I love it that he shares a little more about how things go in his personal life and also get to see others videos along the way. GOD BLESS BOTH YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES AND AS A BROTHER IN CHRIST AND MY PRAYER WARRIORS FROM BOSTON, MA. PRAYING YOU HAVE A PROSPEROUS YEAR.❤❤❤

[@leestiles7343]

I’ve been watching David for 4 years. I started watching him on Facebook now u tube. And I can’t think of one video that he didn’t have me in stitches laughing so hard. Every video can’t be the best one you watch but you will always get a good laugh and feel better for that 20 minutes or so. All that to say country folk can relate to him and I believe that accounts for 85% or his success.

[@dianewalker9154]

David Ellis always gives praise to Jesus, and Jesus blesses David in return. David is a really good and humble man who loves Jesus and serves Him daily. Plus he and Red are so funny together. I love the Yawt Yawt channel.

[@Alan-qk6ld]

Here in Yorkshire UK we just love David is so entertaining to watch and him bring in education to people who never realised the damage pigs can do is wonderful. And his sense of humour is infectious. May the Lord bless you and all your family. Amen.

[@christinestephenson1742]

I LOVE David! I just came across his channel by accident and started watching, and i was hooked! Its fascinating watching him trap pigs. I love that hes feeding people with the meat. Wild meat is better because we know the crooks are not injecting them with anything and the meat is clean.

[@Edward-qe7ih]

Great show

[@kendrickamerson4129]

I subscribed now maybe I’ll never get a ticket. Naw i love you guys. 😂

[@DavidEllisYawtYawt]

[@pattybips5519]

You like to talk about it and you love to laugh so you make your channel fun to watch, you and your helper/friends

[@RealTechZen]

I've been one of David's subscribers for over 2 years, and it's been the education and integrity he provides that made me a supporter and keeps me recommending his channel. There was another good ole turkey hunter once that God found and turned into a hero during World War One. His name was Alvin York, from Pall Mall, Tennessee. Another good note that I've learned recently is that eating feral hogs that range freely is healthier than eating farm raised, grain fed pork because grazing makes the meat high in good cholesterol, while grain feeding makes pork high in bad cholesterol. Matt, you talk about how fast the hogs breed and can take over an area. Well, according to studies done by several Universities and State Wildlife Departments, if you look at a particular area, like the four counties David Ellis traps, no matter how many feral hogs there are, in order to keep that population level, so that it doesn't get bigger from one year until the next, you have to remove of exterminate between 70% and 80% of the hog population every year. In other words, however many breeding age hogs there are, they will produce 3 times their number in offspring every year.

[@jamesmainers7814]

Great interview!! Blessed man!!!!

[@loisblais3431]

I love to watch David’s channel. I’m way up in Ontario Canada. I enjoy his humour, appreciate his hard work. He never shirks a messy hot retrieval of a hog catch. Can’t believe there are so many hogs there are out there. I’ve learned so much about wild hogs, they’re a real destructive menace. Thank you for bringing David’s talent to the forefront. He deserves to be applauded. A kind, decent young man making an honest living.

[@gordonwagner6932]

Very good interview with David I enjoyed it very much.

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

There are a lot of trapper channels out there, but David‘s personality and big smile especially when he brings Gastone like Red and the others they have the same personality and that’s what we look forward to, you’re not gonna hear somebody dropping the F bomb, or vulgar language of any sort you can sit and watch it with your kids good family entertainment. But on a sidenote I just can’t believe they don’t let y’all sell those pigs in Mississippi like we get to do here in Texas, just sold a big load today at $.60 a pound on the hoof. Got 18 out of 2 traps, 2100 pounds. heck that was 1260 bucks for 2 nights.

[@myronhigh3527]

I know Yawt personally, and he is EXACTLY what you see on his videos, as in person! He is a man of God, that will do what ever it takes, to stay on the Godly path, to take care of his Family and whatever it takes to get the job done right!!!! AWESOME job on this podcast, and GOD BLESS ALL!!!!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great show! David Ellis would've made a great preacher. Yes, I enjoy the hog trapping on YT and the "head knockin" on his subscribers channel. (TNX for the update yesterday! Much appreciated!!!) Barnes Crossing may sponsor his truck. But, Jesus Christ paid for his salvation. And, David Ellis makes no secret of that gift being out there for all who Believe, Repent, and are Born Again. God Bless you and your family, David! Greetings from South Carolina (Where my farm and my heart are) and Virginia (Near where my grandson lives...)

[@danhiggins7798]

I'm from NW Montana and watch all of David's videos. He's funny and informative at the same time. We don't have wild hogs here, probably because it's to cold.

[@michaelhumphries5853]

David was a righteous man, but he had enemies who tried to tear him down.

A fan of David from the UK is so different . He always has a smile on his face, the accent is different? I understand what he does and the problem over in the US with hogs but his work ethic is amazing. Long may he continue.

[@roaminaround377]

I just started watching Mr.ellis’ KZbin channel a while back and I like to see what he does it’s entertaining. He’s funny and I like his conversation. He sort of says everything that he’s thinking so it’s a bit of a monologue, but it’s entertaining and it’s clean. He is doing the environment, and people’s land of an invasive animal species, which would otherwise destroy the property and the food that grows upon it. In this interview, it’s great to hear him talk about how he is a responsible hunter and I’m delighted he can make a living at what he does. He is a blessing. 😊

[@Patricia808OGG]

Your videos are superior since you evolved from silliness, to actual beneficial content. If you haven’t already done so, make a video about how you got started with trapping. How long have you been at it? How did you learn how? You have expert skills with an extensive and diverse range of nuisance critters you trap; pigs, beavers, raccoon, squirrels, … and likely others. You deserve every reward available for being such a genuinely nice, skilled, and generous human being. Just be careful, be safe, we need the wholesome and kind example you share with every video you create.
