Tracks but don't get fooled a hogs track can resemble deer tracks,goats and sheep.Hogs will have more rounded toes... Rooting, they love to root, in Texas, were we have lots of acorns they will certainly leave evidence they have been there. Wallows, are a great place to set up a blind. Scants (Droppings) will resemble dog dropping, and depending on what they have been feeding on they can leave patties, or can resemble human waste...
I can tell around my deer feeders, they have knocked them down, or left what resembles a beach volley ball sand when they are finished.

Look for rub lines on trees coming from wallows to heavy cover. Rooting is good, but rooting just tells you where they BEEN! Our most effective spots are 50-100 yd. openings like hallways with heavy cover on one side and wallows and water on the other. Find the trails and catch them trucking in between. Here are some pics for you!! Feel free to check out my website for more info and product line!

The Rev and Bigboar have covered it real good. One other thing, you can smell
a fresh wallow 100yds away and a dog can smell it at500.

i'll try to get some pics of all of the stuff around where i hunt. we have 2 huge wallows in a pond with all kinds of tree rubbings around like the others. also there are all kinds of beds where they have laid down for a while after getting all muddy. there are also a bunch of tusk marks in trees. all of the above are great signs to look for..... oh yeah and seeing the hogs!!!!
