Title: New to Hoggin'; got some questions Post by: Jason A on May 27, 2014, 02:08:38 pm First off, I have to say that I've been reading this forum - lurking around - for sometime. There is mucho knowledge here so i really appreciate it. Now to the important stuff. My wife and I just bought 10+ acres in Grime County, Texas. The land is half brush/hardwood trees with creeks and the other half is pasture. There are plenty of signs of hogs such as wallows, some rooting and hog hair on barbed-wire near a game trail.It's that kinda long coarse black/grey hair. I've been putting corn out for a few weeks. I finally put a game camera out as well. After three days there where over 120 videos - all of deer and coons - not one damn hog. I've heard they are pretty smart and cautious, especially when under pressure from hunters.
Am I crazy or are the hogs that smart and cautious? I want to hunt these hogs, I just hope they are there.

I'm initially going to trap some hogs, put them in some baying pens. Title: Re: New to Hoggin'; got some questions Post by: To_The_Bone on May 27, 2014, 09:50:58 pm I'm in shiro

Title: Re: New to Hoggin'; got some questions Post by: boone823 on May 29, 2014, 07:12:16 am Be careful. Not all information is good information. Just like MikeJC said get permission from surrounding neighbors. Doesn't take but a couple minutes for a good dog to cover 10 acres and be gone. Also hogs are scavengers they travel where ever there is food.
Title: Re: New to Hoggin'; got some questions Post by: RyanTBH on June 03, 2014, 12:23:16 pm Idk, personally, sounds like you'd be better off going after the deer than the hogs... Prep for deer season, food plots, feeder, protein, and a stand of some sort... Gotta sit to see what you have, and if while sitting you come across hogs then let the led fly. Lol JMO 10 acres isn't enough to run dogs unless you're running mini Chihuahuas for rats. Lol ;D
