Hog Population

I hope you're right, but I disagree. I've noticed a severe decline in the hog population over the past three years in the areas I hunt. I'm talking from Houston to Corrigan up 59. This is also what several friends, old timers, friends of friends and so on have noticed. Sure, there are little "honey holes" here and there that hold hogs, but overall the population is scarce. The past month I've checked three different properties that I haven't dropped a dog on in a year... nada, no sign at all. It's been that way the past few years. Even the neighboring properties where the hogs would always go to, same story. I'm talking tens of thousands of acres... not small places.

Five to ten years ago, and earlier, hogs were everywhere in this country. It was nothing to go out and catch 4 or 5 hogs in few hours and go home. Now we're lucky to catch one... if there's even any on the place.
