Gday Ram, How are those d pigs been getting on your land? I know you are fenced and you havent mentioned repairing fence which I know pigs can break down very easily? What are they rooting for? I know they love to root but they must be finding something to do the job you mention. Our wild pigs will tear up the land if they find something to root for, otherwise they move on. I know it is easy to second guess you from a distance but I feel that I am missing something.
Fair enough on the spraying if it works for you. I used to use a long handled [self made handle]paint brush to just put a dab of herbicide on weeds growing in my flower garden when I wanted no risk to the good plants growing close to them. I generally used a broad spectrum herbicide that would kill roots.
Eye- darned if I know, at a very early age I discovered that I couldnt close that eye without closing the other eye so I never was much good at sighting a gun. I tested better than normal while growing up. When I was about 50 I noticed that there was something wrong with my depth vision and spent $ thousands on different specialists trying to find the cause and how to fix it. When all was said and done the doctor told me that I had a bubble of fluid under my retina so my lens of my eye couldnt focus on it an operation had a 50% chance of fixing it and 50% chance of losing all vision in that eye. He gave me the choice and I asked what he would do if it was his eye. He said nothing if it gets worse you can have the same operation later, sometimes they get better by themselves. You still have good side vision in the eye why risk it Now it varies with my blood pressure and how much I am hydrated. I keep six different sets of reading glasses and use the ones that work. My everyday glasses allow me to drive but I dont trust my depth judgment and drive with caution.
Shoot on the US meat sheep industry just keep in mind that I am not a stockman and my main interest is in markets not production. Back to pigs we tend to use bait in two ways, one is to attract as into a trap the other is to add poison to the bait to kill what is attracted. I meant to use salt in the first meaning, to attract the pigs to be shot. On your warming thing did you ever think of an electric Wrap somewhat like a small electric blanket or a huge heating pad? On the ones used here you can set the thermostat higher than a blanket so you can treat most of your aching joints at the same time. ~gd
