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.

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?
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

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.
