Is this normal during flooding?

Well?

Yes a lot of hogs move out before the flood but some always get trapped

Looks like a good time to see if i can hit with my semi auto pistol

don't let them fool you, them things can swim like michael phelps.

I bet they’d hit a Hula-Popper

They’re just trying to get out of cold water. If it was hot outside, they’d probably be doing laps in it. Whenever it floods, any piece of dry that a a critter can get on is fair game. They don’t care if it’s occupied by people or not. I’ve had to push deer out of my Jon boat.

The real question here is "How many of them did you successfully take out?"

Until Alabama comes to its senses on hogs (and coyotes, too), and makes them nuisance/outlaw quadrupeds (like LA, TX, etc) and NOT game animals, you’ll be breaking the game laws and getting ticketed for using any method not deemed fair chase, to kill them. It’s stupid that wardens can write tickets under hunting laws for removing ANY species deemed a nuisance priority.

I know of a bunch that have been eliminated out of the backwater. I'm sure some will drown too.
