What winter? I am getting ready to go and mow my lawn, the weeds and grasses think it is late March!
Same situation here, the last group of hogs has moved on and I’ve seen no sign of any others in a couple of weeks now.
Sounds typical.
We’ve been blessed with badly needed rain and an unseasonably mild winter (so far).
Hunting (this year) started out well. Around the first of the year we had a few cold fronts come through and with Deer Season being over…most folks had stopped running their feeders…so the hogs were searching out any remaining sources for a free meal.
But...now we are now experiencing what could be described as the “Spring Green Up” (forbs and grasses growing) ...though the trees are not budding out yet. All of this happening a full month (or more) ahead of normal.
With the abundance of water and new grasses emerging…the hogs don’t have to go far to fill their needs.
Reduced movement= Reduced sightings/sign.
In my case…that’s a good thing, I don’t want them here anyway.
Flint how is this crazy warm summer er winter affecting your hogging? I would have thought that with the warmer weather I would be getting lots more kills but neither my game cameras nor I have seen a hog in weeks.

For the whole deer season hogs flooded the feeders and my cameras were busy all day and night clicking away as hogs went back and forth scaring away the deer.
Sounds typical.
How has the weather been on your side of the state and how has the hog hunting been?
