what type of area do you have to hunt? in the area i hunt, i know the hogs migrated to us down the red river. now the hog population is outragous. for the most part look for a hog trail. hogs will always use the same path or trail to get from the bedding area or cover to their food plot. this is true until this same trail has hunting pressure on it. hogs will adapt to hunting pressure and change their routes. most of the time you will not catch hogs going to their food plots, its best catching them come out, it really depends on the hunting pressure. we do our best hunting right at dawn or dusk. about their cover, look for areas with a lot of cover. plum thickets, cat tails, crp grass etc... areas that a human will have to crawl through. be careful, i wouldn't recommend getting nose to nose with a wild hog. you will usually hear them before you see them.
