Matt,

     I wasn't real clear in getting across what I was thinking in regards to the hogs going nocturnal.  I realize the dog hunters are/were only allowed to hunt them in daylight too. However, with dogs, we have the advantage of trailing them by scent to their bedding areas. Joe gun hunter does not have that advantage, he almost has to come across them while they are traveling, whereas in daylight, our dogs can find them bedded. I think that is the are that dog hunting has a distinct advantage over any other method, when there are restricted hours.
