sows on granger usually produce 2 litters a year, we should start finding nests and babies soon..feb-mar, is when we usually catch them from the sow, she will run out of a briar patch usually by her self and hesitate just a little about leaving them behind, that's when u look for the piglets.....they will not protect their babies from people on granger she will flee and just have another litter. i tried to put piglets in my cargo pant pockets one year to get the pigs to come after me, after i took a step each piglet would squeal. didn't work...

When was ranger hunt??Comment
-
Looked it up. Ranger hunt was 15-17yh last year. Should make for a little more challenging ranger hunt if they shoot next week
Does anyone know or been on a heli hunt? Do they bother to hunt and shoot into wooded areas?? How do they get the pigs to the fields?Comment

They turn on a siren most of the time and fly low of the thick stuff and pretty much herd them to the fields so they have an open shot. I hate to see all that pork wasted...might have to take the boat out next week. A few years ago they flew the day it snowed out there I have never heard so many shots on my life. blasted the pc and around 7Originally posted by crod888 View PostComment

Yeah the helis circled the prim camp a few times. One got pretty low, but I think it was just people joy riding. It almost seemed like they were joy riding, but also looking to see if anyone was camping. They circled one area a few times. Maybe they were trying to hint at pigs in that area, but who knows... They definitely weren't shooting. One was an open style. It had to be cold with the wind in that chopper!Comment

Carnage! Contributes to the blood on the thread! Nice sized pig too. TPWD may not need the heli hunt if the Thread Brothers keep this up.
How far did you have to track it?Comment
-
It ran about 80 yards. When I saw the blood on the grass I looked ahead and saw movement, 30 yards away there it was. I watched him for about 30 seconds before he died.Originally posted by NightStalker View PostComment
