This year has started out full of fire and fury.
I am now a full time hog killing machine. Hoping to break 1,000 this year on thermal hunts alone.
We are well on that pace already and we haven't even had a full month yet.
To date we are at 167.

I had a great hunt over in Bullock County Monday night. Had one of those nights where I was just by myself.
I found the first sounder in a food plot. Two sows and 10 little ones. I got both the sows and 6 little ones.
Second sounder was in some hardwoods. These were all big pigs. I killed 5 sows and 4 boars.
The third sounder was in the woods as well. I killed 2 sows and 4 little ones.
The forth sounder was in some thick stuff. I shot a big boar and the rest escaped I guess.
I recorded all the stalks. After watching the video there were several more hogs that were hit hard but I didn't find out in the woods.
The recovered total was 24. That is my best total for a single night. Hopefully Becca will get the video edited and posted this weekend.
I am curious as to what ya'll think the actual kill total actually was. I will only count the 24 recovered but I do think I killed more.

Had a couple of northern clients the other night. I had already covered the stalking and countdown process with both of them very well. We get on the first group of pigs (7) and start the stalk. We get all setup at about 40 yards and I start the countdown. I barely get the word 3 out and the guy on the left starts shooting. All heck broke loose then. We still managed to kill 4. Should have gotten them all. LOL
He had to buy breakfast the next morning! LOL
238 total now.

On a crazy pace so far. We are sitting on 295 to date. With 273 coming since deer season ended.
Some spots are drying up fast. I checked fields last night that were recently planted with corn and only killing lone boars.
I have had hunters the past 4 days and still have 2 more days before I get a night off.
Retirement is not slowing me down any! LOL

Took a father daughter combo out the other night. The young lady was 17 and had been begging her dad for a hog hunt for a few years. She dropped the first sow like a rock with my Grendel. The smile was as big as Texas.
We are on a nasty pace this year. My retirement is having some nasty effects on the hogs.
309 to date

I am not running any traps myself right now. Still selling a bunch. Clients are catching.

286 have came since deer season ended. All of these were taken with thermals except 4. Those were killed during daylight.

Still wearing them out at night.

We hit 409 last night. We didn't hit that number until August last year. It has been on fire. I actually got 3 traps running on the club, should start adding some trapping numbers to the thermal totals shortly.

The Jager Pro traps are making a mark now. We are at 526 now. This is crazy. We shot some this week as well in the full moon. Dang the boars love to come out on those bright nights! The dang boars are keeping my sex ratio off so far this year. I normally stay plus on the female side because of our tactic of targeting sows on the thermal hunts but dang if the boars are not wearing us out. Anyway, the only downside I have is that we are -4 on the ratio. I need to find some sows!

Been a little slower in May. Dang vegetation is growing like crazy and making the hogs hard to see. We have still managed to up our total to 594 for the year.
Had fun shooting some beavers for clients last night. Killed 9 beavers and 4 hogs.

697 now
The food plots are just about gone now. Killing lots of hogs in hay fields. Getting into to that hard part of the year where visibility is difficult in the woods and most row crops. Will just have to switch tactics again and keep on hammering. Trapping is doing pretty good. And of course Chris is still hammering the coyotes.
One of my buddies and I ran across a Hog Nose snake the other day. We got out and tried to bother him into rolling over and playing dead. He wouldn't, but he did get mad enough to open his mouth real wide and a toad jumped out and took off down the road. One lucky toad. He was about to become a turd. Guess you just can't ever give up! LOL

Have had several situations lately where we snuck up on sleeping pigs. A few times right out in the middle of a large crop field. Dang that makes it easy to rack up some numbers.
I tell each shooter to fire 3 rounds into the pile and then pause to see if any get up. There is always a few small ones that do. I just find it interesting that they bed in the plot or field.

It has been slowing down a little this month. We have only killed 67 so far.
The dang boars are doing their part though. A buddy and I rode around the other night on a cattle ranch and killed 8 boars. Three had dang good cutters.

What is it with the boars this year? Hit the same property again Friday night and killed 9 with 8 of them being boars. I can't find a dang sounder now.
790 total now.
The last 3 years combined we were a +142 on the female side. This year we are a +48 on the boar side. Dang it man.

My retirement sure has been hard on the critters this year! LOL
To date: 961 hogs 123 coons 14 coyotes 21 beavers
I have caught 85 coons on our club so far. I think it is cool. I have seen 2 coveys of quail this week on our club.
Great work Barry! God Bless, David B.

Well we did it. Broke 1,000 for the first time in a single year.
Sitting at 1,005 to date. What do you think led to this being the first year to do it? are there more hogs now than there were? Or are you just getting better at what you do? I assume if you hunt the same properties and numbers are increasing trapping/hunting isn’t working?

I assume if you hunt the same properties and numbers are increasing trapping/hunting isn’t working? Being retired. New properties. Great equipment. If I had to guess, I would say we work about 40,000 acres across the state. Considering there is 22 million acres in the Great State of Alabama, I doubt I am going to make an impact on the TOTAL population. But, I do make a big dent in the population on the properties I work. I attended a big pig conference a year or so ago. One of the presenters estimated the hog population in each state. His estimate for Alabama was 300,000 hogs. I think that is bad low. But, it was his estimate. Anyway, if he is correct, then I have killed 1 out of every 300 pigs in the state this year. I SERIOUSLY doubt that.

That is it. 2012 - 177 2013 - 330 2014 - 433 2015 - 700 2016 - 800 2017 - 826 2018 - 1,222 to date
Add to that this year - 145 raccoons 12 possems 64 coyotes 26 beavers
Hogs by county top 5: Wilcox - 711 Bullock - 129 Dallas - 104 Autauga - 103 Lowndes - 56
My hunting club is in Wilcox. I have LOTS of properties in Wilcox to hunt. Having a place to crash and get some sleep there really allows me to hammer those places.

FINALLY!!!!!!!
Been ignoring the deer trying to hit the 1,300 mark for the year. I caught twice (8 and 7) in the same trap over near Miller's Ferry this week in a 3 day span. Those 2 catches plus a few killed during the day puts us on the 1,300 mark exactly!!!!!!!
To say I miss my thermals us a HUGE understatement!!!
Come on Feb 11!!!!!!!

Trapping is on fire now. It will be for the next 3 or 4 months. Very little food in the woods now. I have clients catching hogs all over the state this week. I caught on our club right as the game was ending. Will post the end of the year total when I come home in a few days.

Finished the year with 1,310. No doubt my retirement was bad for the pigs. Will make a year end post showing the breakdown and other animal totals probably Monday. Thanks to all that helped and supported us through our 6th year.
