Hogs Close To Home

Hogs Close To Home

I saw the first signs a few weeks ago while walking across the couple of acres that serve as our ‘front lawn’. I do keep try my best to keep the varied species of grasses and weeds some might call a lawn under control but it’s been a real challenge lately with all the wet weather. I noticed where the ground had been disturbed and instantly knew a sounder of hogs from the nearby woods had invaded our neighborhood. We had an abundance of acorns on several of the mature post oaks on our place and back during the fall, squirrels did a good job burying a good many of them. Wild hogs are used in Germany to sniff out truffles and their keen noses have no problem locating a soured acorn or hickory nut a few inches deep. The ground under those oaks honestly looked as though a garden tiller had been at work. I love hunting and eating wild hogs and thought it was neat having them coming to me, on several occasions, I’ve seen their sign within ten feet of my front porch. I’d thought of using my thermal scope mounted on a big bore air rifle and hunting from the porch swing but a trail camera I set up captured their images in the middle of the night. A half mile from home on some land my neighbors let me hunt, I have them patterned to a corn feeder each night just about dark. I just don’t wish to lose sleep waiting for these ‘home hogs’ to show, even if my ‘stand’ is a front porch swing! 06/26/2024 12:48 PM
