Need advice, are hogs ruining my deer hunting?
#1
I hunt on a small lease in North Central texas and we do hunt with feeders. In october we saw to tonof deer and now we have become invaded with hogs. Would this be the reason we have stopped seeing deer is b/c the hogs have taken over?

I am here In Texas as well, hogs will not run off deer. What I am saying is they will live the same property but not hang out together. If theres a deer at the feeder, a hog will come in and the deer will leave, but thats it, deer will not move out per say.

Hogs and deer share the same turf, but if you are seeing hogs, the deer usually won't be hanging out with them!
From East Texas to the Hill Country, this has been an all-or-nothing season! With a great accorn crop, and weather/moon phase coinsiding with the peak of the rut, deer movement has been very spotty!

When hogs compete for food with deer, the deer lose.The secret is to keepthe hogs from over-running the place by thinning them out.You should see what happens to a wheat field when20 or 30 hogs come visiting at night. They can easily tear up a couple of acres of wheat.
