hogs should be laid up during the rain and hungry when it's over and moving good from past exp.  just watch the creeks and rivers they're gonna be rolling real good

I don't like tearing up the farmers/ranchers land... Gonna be hard this wknd, can't hunt some of my better places. That being said I like hunting after rain cause it washes away all old sign and shows fresh sign !

throw on some old clothes and get out there! rain makes it easier for the dogs to pick up a fresh scent and makes for some fun hunts

Ryan, it's usually real good hunting after the hard rain we had today.

Halfbreed... I don't have any more dogs you hunt behind on foot, better have some wheels under you. Wink

 apparently you hunt different kind of land than I do... Probably different dogs as well... And I'm gonna hunt but I'm going to change my strategy ... I will hunt smarter not harder ! it might be harder to recover the harvest that's all !
And my atv's are used as tools just as a horse would be used, you wouldn't call a cowboys horse a toy would you... Just saying.

My point was I will still hunt but I will be careful not to loss off my farmers by tearing up their land.

Ha ha.. I know you are. I spent many years walking these govt woods from daylight till dark, but that was when the hogs around here were plentiful, didn't run like deer and were easy to bay and catch.

Some dogs you'd have a hard time keeping up with on foot lol. We hunt out of a suzuki sidekick and alot of the time we don't get in until 4 or 5 in the morning. We put 76 miles on the rig a couple of weeks ago.

Its probably a good thing you dont hunt off of an atv.... running them catahoula x walkers, you would probably have a hard time not running over all of them!!!  Evil  laugh
