Advice on cold and hogs
 

Ive hunted hogs for over 20+ years, and I still cant figure out when they like to move after a major cold snap. We just had this cold front hit and it is not suppose to get much above freezing. I can not remember seeing many hogs in the morning when it is butt freezing cold. Every now and then I have seen them late in the day, when it has been bitter cold. Im taking some guys out to shot some hogs this weekend, when do you think the hogs will be moving. Up until the front, it had been in the 80s, and the hogs would move from 5:00 through the dark. It was 80 yesterday, and will only get into the low 30s this weekend. There are many here who have more exprience with these beastes than I, when do you think they will move.

Pigs are most active in the morning and evening and often on days which are
pleasantly warm. Rain brings the pigs out of the bush as it will deer,
but not if the weather is cold and boisterous. In cold weather they remain
in the shelter as much as possible, while on hot days they bask in the
smashed of bracken, or remain in the cover of scrub , bush ,or in muddy wallows where they are difficult to find.

if you know where they bed up and it is bitter cold in the mornings, I mean really cold, get close at first light and wait and listen.you will hear them squeeling and carring on , changing places trying to keep warm.I have slipped up and shot several in the beds on really cold mornings.they step on one another and roll one around trying to get the warm spots.
when hot,they move at first and last light.

Pretty funny... Here's Russell on his patrol bike at work... They did take away his gun, because he shot himself in the foot.

they'll be bedded tight some will almost let ya walk up to them when it's cold, we had the dogs out this weekend and they ran right in a bursh top before the hog let us know he was there, i kinda figured the dogs were just puttin their nose in there to see what was up sense we'd already killed a hog, the little sow had sit in that blowdown while all that was takein place.
