I sure hope that the drought doesn't effect the hog hunting in a bad way. I was hoping to do more hunting this year than we did last year. But since we mainly hunt farm land.....  I sure hope the crops dont wither! |

I know y'all hunt a lot of rice but the corn around here is done. It is beyond wilted and turning brown now, it looks like it normally would in July of a drought year.

I was talking to an old timer today and he doesn't recall a winter and spring this dry in the in 43 years he has lived here. You are right Matt. The corn west of here isn't even fit for wild hogs to eat now.
From what I can tell, the hogs are stacking up in the bottoms and around tanks already.

Well the farmers that we hunt for, planted a whole lot of milo this year and as of now it is still green and standing well but Im sure that won't be for much longer if we don't get some kind of rain. The rice should be fine since it is being watered....I hope.

Yeah rice will be fine for a while but the canal system down here is getting stretched a lil thin from what I've heard. My good buddy lets me tag along in the Milo farm and its still green but shorter than I remember Milo being. I think I may have just picked up a sanitation dump and several sand pits with water in them so I'm hoping that's a good sign. The ground in my families pastures has 1" cracks as far as the eye can see. This is the first spring since I remember that we've had to buy hay  the dogs have been have a rough time finding these desert pigs this year too. |

My son took the dogs and hunted last night. From the looks of my Ranger, there is plenty of water and mud in the creek bottoms around here! We have mud holes that can swallow a D3 dozer on the place but they are as dry as the Sahara dessert! He never ceases to amaze me how well he can find mud with a clean Ranger. |

Hogs left my lease on river near diboll we've had some luck hunting creek bottoms that are spring fed. All the hogs we have caught in east Texas have been grazing on grass or green brouse. Land with chicken houses are holding hogs also if they have some ponds near by.
