They are difficult to pattern. They may show three or four days in a row at a given time, then not show at all.

I tried to post a pic but it wouldn't go. The good thing or bad thing is that these hogs are less than a mile from the house. If the camera goes off I get up and go. But they are as wary as any group I've ever hunted.

Just a couple from the group of about 20 im after now. 1st appearance in a week. Notice the timestamp. That's the only thing consistent about them.

I don't have a "long" history with feral hogs. I hunted and trapped feral hogs from 2005 until about 2015.

About the only "consistent" things I've noticed about feral hogs is that they are "IN-consistent"!
See a sounder out in daylight and shoot them up, they go nocturnal. Pressure them further and the whole group will move out!
...but nature hates a vacuum. Be patient, another sounder will move in! SOON!

Another feral hog consistency! They can destroy way more in one night than any normal person can conceive!

I am waiting for the day I can put crosshairs on a pig. We don't have any in Nevada (that I know of) and anywhere I look to go shoot them they want an arm and a leg to hunt them.
That pig you shot looks very edible. Good on you for putting delicious meat in the freezer!!!!

There are tons of russian boar in King city California and you can harvest 5 a day

Yes they can. I've never seen a hog with a worn out snout. They root constantly.
I have quite a history with hogs that goes back about 25 years.. I hunted them with my recurve or my longbow relentlessly. The hogs I was hunting then had not been pressured as much. A hog that's been around awhile will give any wary whitetail a run for its money in street smarts. These are truly like ghosts.

Nice shot buddy, keep it up!

When the deer aren't feeding, a pig'll do!
