[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 178672, member: 430"] I would guess hogs are pretty much in most of the southern states? I'm not sure where they have migrated to. I do know that we have a bad problem with them here in S. Central Texas. We have pastures that look like yours too Jersey, and what is amazing is how much ground they can tear up in ONE night. They hit the freshly cut hay fields and shredded fields the night after they've been cut. Sometimes it literally looks like someone came in and disced that pasture during the night. There is no season, so you can hunt them all year long and they are good to hunt all year long, they don't have a rut like deer do. There are many effective ways to hunt/trap hogs. There are as many different methods as people doing it. Hogs are smart, if a population is continually stressed due to hunting/trapping pressure they get smart to it. You have to change your hunting routine/trapping method. Change trap locations/bait/design. You will most likely get more numbers of hogs trapping them rather then hunting because usually you will trap mulitiple hogs in one trap. But it's a lot more fun to stalk hunt them. I have had different experiences hunting them. During the day they will generally scatter when the 1st shot goes off. At night I have had them scatter and stay gone, scatter then come back to the same spot, and not even run off. I think it all depends on the animal that goes down and if it goes down cleanly or if it squeels and thrashes. I've shot one that went straight down and the others came over to investigate it, I picked off 2 others. I have seen hog calls at Bass Pro, and I've been seriously thinking about getting one but I tried a tape on a caller once and I didn't get any results with that. If anyone has tried a call I would like to hear what you thought about it. They will come in to a feeder but you will probably have to set there an awful long time because they don't seem to follow a routine like deer feed in the morning and evening. I've had them turn over a tripod feeder too. [/QUOTE]
