Based on 5 years of recording every kill by date sex and maturity, I have noticed a trend. August seems to be the month we kill a lot of single boars. No big deal here with the boars but the lack of sounders and sows is the story. In a week or 2 we will start to see lots of little pigs around, I am guessing that this is just typical feral hog breeding behavior in Alabama. The sows are nesting now and keeping a low profile.
So keep your eyes open. I expect to start seeing lots of little tracks around real soon.

So when is the hog rut? If they all birthing around the same times means they were bred at the same time right?

I am not saying all females breed at the same time by any means. But, it does seem like many do get seasonal.

A sow breeds 25 days after she gives birth. The gestation period is around 114 days. It can vary a few days in either direction.

that makes sense. Hot humting in hurtsboro near the crackwhores location about a month ago and we had a sow in heat under us.

So, if you have an area that is a known "pig nursery"...now might be the time to do some stalks?

True, dang sure time to put out some bait and try and at least kill that sow.

A hog grunt call works wonders in this situation as well. If you can drop that sow and stand over her and do a soft basey grunt you can call those little guys in and really make up some numbers.

I saw some little pigs last night. Hope to put a big dent in them this weekend.
