I got a question pertaining to the subject... What does this flooding and excess rain do to yalls hogs? For me it seems like when it's real Wet, the hogs all single up and disappear, if i manage to catch one, that's all it ever is is one solo hog. When it dries out the hogs seem to group back up and I can find sign of them and catch a couple in one hunt

We got 7.5 inches here in I think 36 hours.   Did the same thing and did a little fishing.  Wasn't as good as I had hoped but still caught 22 eaters and 2 over 25 pounds.  I just go for the big ones really but throw them back after taking pictures.
   Got another inch last night.    The ground is so mushy around here I need snow shoes to keep from sinking lol

I don't know what we got but it is a lot

One of the ranches I hunt for northwest of Houston got almost 20" of rain Sunday night and Monday morning.

Slim, all that flooding pushes the hogs to the high spots... if you can get a boat in there it's easy pickings.

I don't per say like the rain; it sometimes limits the time I have to hunt; I don't get enough hunting time as it is.  But, the rain has benefited me here lately.  It seems like it has pushed some hogs onto a spot where I hunt; I've seen more hogs lately then I have in the past couple years and I believe it is because hogs moved out of some of the flooded river bottoms to higher ground.

I'm in east Texas near several creeks and the trinity river so when it gets out like it Its now, its great to hunt places with higher grounds. As for the fishing it's even better if you have the right equipment

When it floods here, the hogs group up especially near the main water so its good hunting. You just better be prepared to get really wet and have your muck boots on

I took at my house yesterday and flew from the temple area down to the sugarland airport and flying over some of the flooded areas, we saw several different sounders around the caldwell area. 1 sounder had bout 7 hogs, 4 big ole' suckers and 3 smaller ones and the other group had 10 or so, with some big suckers and both sounders were on some high ground, since all this dang rain. We were at 1000' and got a birds eye view of the flooding.

Well I managed to go find the high spot at a place of mine that's all flooded, sure enough dogs found a group bedded, just couldn't hang with them in a flooded pine thicket. Got outran after about 2 hours

I'm not sure if y'all have meet or not but Steven introduced himself to me at Brenham meat market a while back and  seems like good people . We talked dogs and stuff for a while but I was so out of it from running dogs two days straight I'm sure he thought I was on dope or somethin haha ., anyhow just thought I'd share that for whatever it's worth

By the way that place can make some damn good sausage  !

[Steven M.]

Thanks for the good words Chris. My cousins husband and his brother actually own that meat market.  And man I know how it is hunting so I figured you were tuckered out. I need to get you out to my neck of the woods for a hunt when this water goes down

[Slim9797]

I'm always game to hunt with new people, so long they don't mind having warm feet and running a lot of hogs way longer than normal!

Some folks love it but I hate it, the floods push alligators out and onto our properties....BIG alligators. And 90% of the time if we hit a big hog unless we shut it down right where we bay it they will run straight to the nearest backwater off the creek that runs straight through the middle of our lease and either the dogs will quit it ( which I personally much prefer ) or they will swim it with the hog and if they make it to the other side we have a LONG drive to get around to em. Just makes it a pain in the ass to hunt.
