Well Crap

Hunting on the River in a prime place I always knew this day would come. Pulled a camera today and have a nice sounder working the property. First ones we've ever seen. Oh well, on the bright side, something else to hunt.

There is no bright side with hogs. Wait til they run every deer off a 100 acre section of land in december or when you cant bush hog fields cause you get bounced off the tractor or when they jump in your deer feeders and clean em out.

I believe Ben gets it.

I agree with the bouncing of the tractor but come on man!!! They ain’t running every deer off a 100 acre section of land. If that were the case there wouldn’t be a single deer in some of the best and most sought after hunting properties in the state

Well on the camera pull I had 891 pictures. About 6-7 were of hogs, 20 or so were of coons (since this was on the edge of a swamp), two horseback riders, and one ATV rider (my fat ass) along with a few of the mystery shutter triggering. The rest were of deer. They must not be too adverse to sharing property with the hogs.

This would suck (not my house)

If you dont see deer at my place it is because the hogs have moved in an area. They run em off green fields take over the bedding areas etc. At least they did the first few years we had em
Had a field this yr a shooter was comingbto everyday before the season started. 50 hogs moved in and the deer vanished. Took a month after I trapped and killed the hogs for the deer to return

I had a spot on the forest I could bow hunt and see 2-5 deer every hunt and would kill 2-3 does on it every year. One year it just wasn’t right and I only saw a few deer all bow season. I also realized the hogs showed up during that time never before. It took several years for it to get back to normal. I’m guessing the deer got use to the hogs but I’d rather them be gone.

Well that pic certainly breaks the record at our house for how close they have rooted which is 20 yards and which is in the garden late each summer...I have shot probly a dozen under a bird feeder that close (yes, it as a bird feeder...not the traditional, bird, squirrel, turkey feeder where deer are shot on site! LOL

Jawbone kill them all ASAP! It's all fun and games at first and then really fast...It's not.

I have 40 acres of which 15-18 are literally just cratered and will kill a small tractor with any implement you choose to pull and your back and your neck!

Absolutely!

They will absolutely run deer off, much larger tracts too.
When the hogs become prevalent, they'll clean out every nibble of food source and the deer leave.
Hogs will eat anything and everything. Deer eventually stop trying to compete and just move on.

If there is no food left, wouldn’t the hogs leave and eat the food off of this mystical place that all the deer migrate to for their escape from the hogs??

I have killed hogs and deer off the same field year after year after year.
I’ve seen a 100+ hogs come into a field and deer never look up from eating.
I’ve killed 601 hogs, 10 doe and 7 very mature bucks on the same 1500 acres in a year and let everything under 6yo walk. Hunted that same property for 6 years and numbers never changed much

It’s a myth that hogs run deer off



I started hunting hogs in 1976 and have averaged several hundred a year from 1976-2015
To old and broke up to chasem like that anymore but I’ve killed hogs in almost every state, country and continent in almost 40 years of chasing them all over the world.
When I moved here in the 8o’s I had to go to south Alabama (coffeville) to find hogs and people who would let me huntem with dogs and very few people in this state had heard of such a thing.

Boy where is this? Sounds like my kinda place.
