Of hogs and catfish

As one of my radio hero’s Garrison Keelor used to say, “It’s been a quiet week here in Lake Wobegon.”

Change the word “Wobegon” to “Kaufman County” and my exact sentiments will be mirrored. But I have managed to venture afield close to home in pursuit of wild hogs between floods.

You might remember me mentioning that I have been on a quest to capture on video for our weekly outdoor TV show, “A Sportsmans Life”, the harvest of one of the ‘too many’ wild hogs in the bottomland close to my house. Well, on one of the few sunny afternoons last week, I managed to get it done.
