your guys help on that because there are a lot of people who are struggling with that and I don’t have any resources for them at all. BL: Yeah, this is Brian – District 4. Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. We work together, you know, we don’t need pigs in every area but, it would be nice to see ‘em every now and then and like I said, you know, I’m busy as all get out – just catching pigs from the people I know so… And there’s Abraham and a couple other people that we know that do go out and trap these nuisance animals and, ah, like I said, that has a place… FB: Yeah, that would… I mean, yeah, it’s sort of, you know, they’re out there and, you know, you don’t want them in your back yard – a lot of people can’t afford the fencing and, you know, so it’s like maybe this could benefit somebody but I know that most hunters are like, hey, I’m pretty busy – so I don’t know how many people are willing to do it but if anybody is willing to do that would be great.
