I'm a couple miles off the river and I replanted 5 acres out of our 12 acres of greenfields this past Sunday before I left to come home. They were all green and lush 2 weeks ago and 5 of them looked like they had been freshly disked and hit with a tiller this past weekend. We've always had hogs but nothing like this year. Way worse than normal.
we've found that not planting any winter peas seems to help
Wheat, oats, rye and clover. No peas, beans, standing corn or turnips. I know better. I'm guessing that the bumper crop of white oaks dropping in these fields brought them in and while they were there, they did what hogs do and destroyed the place. I hunted Sunday morning and actually carried my AR in addition to my .300 just in case they came back. I'll kill them all if I get the chance.
