I know when the weather is about to change that my aches and pains flair up. My Grandfather always told me the same thing back in the 1960's.

I bought a casio fishing watch and took it back and exchanged it for a hunting watch because the feeding periods are the same but the hunting watch looked better.

If barometric pressure triggers feeding for fish and game then I suspect it includes pigs and hunting hog dogs. I think it is possible for the dogs to hunt at a higher level during the best feeding times.

Me, I like to hunt best when it is cold and the weeds are down. Also, on a full moon night with the same conditions. Seems we always catch more hogs during these times.

I know that for every ten degree drop we need to increase the dogs caloric intake by a certain percentage to maintain weight so the deer also move around more to feed and my success ratio goes up. If the hogs move around more then the dogs have a better chance to strike a track.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
