EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

In your experience, how do you think the storm fronts affect hogs. Weather permitting, would you hunt before or right after, and I am not necessarily talking about a hurricane but just a front moving thru. Or does it depend on how bad it is suppose to be? 

I am looking forward to some rain and a break in the weather and maybe sneak off to hunt alittle .

Well if your looking for rain you need to come to Matagorda co. We have been getting plenty.IMO the weather makes a big influence on our hunting. Just before bad weather is a good time to hunt hogs but I feel just after is better. Because they have been laid up and after they are ready to do some real rooting.

Well I float my stick with Ronnie,....after the bad weather is a great time to hunt hogs, the ground is softer, debris has washed up into piles that hogs love to root in and as Ronnie said, they've been laid up and are ready to do some roottin'.

Great minds think alike ;D  Got a hurricane fixin' to roll over us and all I can think about is what the hogs are gonna do too!!!  :D

Dry up and down right now, front sure can't hurt!

Got the next 2 wknds free and clear(wife and kiddo out of town  :o ;D rolleyes :D ;D).... lots of huntin' planned!!!

Both! Unless I decide to fish ahead of a front instead! ;D

I agree with everyone else But.

The biggest weather effect I have noticed on the hogs in my area is a bone chilling, hard freeze. They seem to stay bedded through the night and dont move at all until the sun starts to come up good the next day.
In SE Texas those nights are usually followed by a cold, crisp, windless morning. Winding a hog can be tough for a dog and a workable track is even tougher.
I wont even show up to hunt until 8 or 9 in the morning after those kind of nights but they are rare.
Its a good excuse to hang out by the fire or sleep in a little also.   ;)
