Do y'all think that multiple boars will use the same traveling routes or single boars have there own trails?

I'd say multiple. I know a Boars home range is typically bigger than a sows...but..once they enter the sows (sounders) territory they would use the same trails the sows do while trailing them...looking for one that's receptive. I don't see why multiple Boars wouldn't use the same trail.

I know bucks during the rut travel the same or close to in relations of each orhers trails, and the doe do the same. Iv seen cattle traveling the same path or branches to a single path. I dont see why more than 1 boar wouldnt use the same

  yes they travel the same routes and just about any ol cow trail . I use to keep track of the many boars that came thru the back side of the farm . I would also check different rubs and wallows for the boars tracks one in particular .  big range and they will travel a circuit in their search for sows .

Im no expert but i Got 3 different boars three different night that ran the same trail and ended up getting caught in the same tank.  I would say that they use the same trails for sure!

Nathen, we had a tracking collar on this one boar & this hog liked to travel. we had him on a 12000 acre hunting club & we have found him as far away as 12 miles & across a good size river. Every time we put dogs on him, he would head back to the hunting club but you talk about a educated hog. He would run thru cows, run straight down a dirt road or run thru a herd of sows & shoats. He defitently learned how to slow a dog down or get them off his trail. We caught him three times & never bayed him after that but he was a good pup trainer. We would run him sometimes 7 or 8 hours & pull the dogs off when he would try to cross a highway. a deer hunter finally shot him & called me to return my collar.lol One thing that did amaze me, he bedded up alot near houses on the edge of the hunting club. Once we jumped him in a empty lot next to a house, once in a overgrown ditch by a hard road. We thought he had been run over, Then we jumped him right next to a dairy barn where this farmer milked cows twice a day.
  We also had one on a barr & this hog never traveled hardly anywhere. He was always in about a 2 mile square block of woods.

Cajun...that big boar sleeping close to houses and right next to a dairy farm reminds me of my young days with deer hunting...I learned not to go deer hunting the first week of deer season because the big deer stayed in the heavy woods bottoms...about the second week they moved out of the big woods because of the hunting pressure and they moved out to open country where hunting pressure was minimal...I would climb on top of the barn with binoculars and find the deer with the sun shining on them about 9 or 10 am...then I planned the stalk with the wind and brush in my favor...

Sounds to me like this big boar knew where the hog dogs didn't hunt and stayed to those areas as much as possible...

I used a Johnson collar & attached a regular collar to it to make it big enough. We have put them on several hogs & when it is hot you cannot beat it for getting on hogs. we have got on lots of hogs that the boar was close too.
