I take all I can until I run out of people willing to take the meat. I know they are a pest, but leaving them to rot would open up the landowner and his animals to other problems, such as diseases, so I haul off all I take. Yes, I could take more, but I think I will do the landowner, and myself, and everyone who takes any of the meat more good by taking fewer animals but providing healthy meat, than I ever could by providing diseased meat and spreading disease to the landowners cattle and horses due to the rotting carcasses. I also try to stay in touch with the people I know can use meat, or at least to ask them if they can use meat IF I get anything, before hunts. That way, I don't take more than I can use myself and get to people who will use it, because my freezer is only so big. But on the other hand, between me and my dogs, we can put a lot of meat away, so a 200# hog gets completely eaten within a month easy, and sometimes only lasts 2 weeks, depending on work and everything else with my schedule. I know I could take more hogs, but like the rest of you here, I don't hunt for the sake of the kill, but rather to provide for me and mine, and it doesn't hurt any that I just like being outdoors and doing things myself. I figure if I take a hog, even it I only get one, I can spread the meat around easily enough that eveyone involved gets a meal or two out of it, and that way I don't have to worry about it going to waste--and I get to go get another soon. But if I get several, well, that just measn I can be lazy during the work week and not have to go shop for meat at least. And the landowner gets rid of a hog or hogs, so everyone wins.
