Ya tn. Frank doesn't do it anymore. Its me swisher and nik palmer. There's probly a few more I don't know but what I'm gettin at is these hogs don't get a lot of dog pressure. They just naturally run most of the time it seems. I'm sure some dog power will help. Up here were all still new to the sport, a lot to learn yet !
These hogs get tons of dog pressure from coon hunters. The last 3 times I went hog hunting have seen other people out bowhunting or scouting for hogs. On the whole they are pressured to death. Thats why its harder here than most places down south.
Are you meaning the coon hounds are trashying of hogs ? People bow hunting is not gonna make the hogs not stop an bay
Your not getting what I am saying....
Coon hunting is a huge sport here in southern ohio. I know coon hunters that have seen pigs and killed them. Our hogs have heard dogs tree a coon. I dont think they are interested in that. A hog wont go investigate a treed coon, they will stay away. A bowhunter in the woods equals pressure on wildlife. Too much pressure equals hogs gone. Ive been hunting these woods for years and baiting hogs. Ohio woods grow big bucks, turkeys, and hogs without a feeder. The hogs have plenty of acorns, hedge apples, greens, frogs, dead deer, and anything else they want to eat. A lot of these hogs are in state owned woods with a lot of people coon hunting, turkey hunting, rabbit hunting, squirrel hunting, deer hunting, and hog hunting. Plus we have maybee a tenth of a percentage point of the hogs they have in texas. Ultimately what I am saying is its tough here in Ohio to hunt hogs.
