I see stories and picture of hog hunts in Texas, but don't see them put in the 2015 hog kill count. Are they high fence hogs? because I could see that not counting since they are in a contained environment. How can we count hogs if we don't inter them in the numbers log?

How can we count hogs if we don't inter them in the numbers log? That is sort of the problem with voluntary surveys. I think it was more a novelty the first year and more people did it then. Now, fewer folks participate and the tallies are much less.

Now, fewer folks participate and the tallies are much less. is a big state, only 56,802 members post on here... Tis sure many dont post every time they get a hog... Look at Texaslawman, his hog count beats total of last few years... My tagoto place for hogs, have seen were hogs have torn up along side of ATV trails, its low bottom land, hunting pressure is limited... Its not 24-7-365 out hunting... Have sat back off ATV trails during archery deer&hag hunts, gground all tore up, mostly done at night... Usdta have to fill out form.. Hunters were the eyes & ears now its gone high-tech... The place has been thinned out of hog's over the years, big time... Unlimited hogs even during daylight hours & limited season can make a dent... Seen yotes carring little hogs off... Thats just my opinion, like old saying, mine stinks, too many beens... Cool front moved in hogs been showing up on cams ,so they moving little more daylight hours.. Go get ya some... DNS does just not able watch videos, tried getting mine on video , its tough, had ta put down camera...

Could use few more in freezer... Unfortunately dont have acsess to the problem area's... OSBWMA is closed, think they allow archery now for hogs, havent done archery in couple years cause of shoulder... Just have small little area, cant choot whats not thar.... Seen on the hog kill ya took a few, have ta wait ta watch video.. Been trying ta do video of a laser-tag... Had every thing set up.. Was over month or two since seen hog on cam.. Cams not set up for night, but have area scraped bare under feeder, ta check tracks, also walk areas from time ta time checking for sign... They follow creek, usualy the neighbors dogs keep hogs moving... Was suprised these stayed around... First seen pic of hogs on cam again... Went tried again.. Was in blind had cammera set up, & hogs slowly made way ta were had hand thrown a ice cream pail of corn just 20-25 yrds away... Weeds were so tall couldnt see hogs, stood up, just see the head boben & top ofbacks, turned on camera then laser... It bounced all over weeds.. Hogs spooked.. Just blew it, simple as that... So cleared small shooting lane, more corn & backed off, left alone. & got lucky, hogs were already at corn, so had ta put up camera, ease ta were get a shot... .223 55gr hp... Hog never new what hit it.... No sign of the other one, both were boars... Last night threw some butter in pan, some barbaqu & cajon seasoning en & chillen.. Bye time i get chance ta post a pic of the hog, it will be old news, tis why gave report on the photo form... Doing best i can with what little i got... Am sure theirs plenty of people on here that dont post their pic's for some reason or another... Last several years not able ta hit OSBWMA due ta several reasons, been known ta take more pics & videos than choot... Edit: had some spelling errors theirs still probly a few, ment hit wrong keys while typing....

I hear ya on the phone problems. I sent a pic to a friend last night of the four hogs I killed. I have two pics of them and they are both not very well lit because my phone doesn't have flash. I have to use flash light o help the camera. Now I cant get the better of the two to send anywhere. I can send anything but that photo. It says cannot add more max 295kb rrrrrrr! what the hell? sometimes I think the phone confuses itself. I even went in and erased lot of old pics to gain data clearance. man and I don't have a cord for direct download for this phone. It wont be long and the hogs will change their ways. They will be cruising all over the place. Its still hot enough to keep em near the water.

Think my phone ( android ) , is refurbished... It dont even ring 2/3rds of the time.. Hit the wrong keys at times typing.. Bad spelling is my part... Never did get payed for me book smarts, Very few could keep up with me using idiot stick... Got aches & pains ta prove it... This is the age of high-tech... Faster is better, yet they still gonna need manual labor... every time machine replaces a person, others call em widgets for drawing unemployment... When their was a shutdown at plant, we got told, not to apply for unemployment... We had no vacation time, except the mandatory shut down... Machines need repairing, wear & tear... Bills still need ta be payed.... We jumped in family car & headed north ta see family & friends... i didnt blame others for signing up... We were paying our bills, slowly... Getten off track, dont do no good ta complain... Sometimes Prayers are answered.. Think reason for pic's not showing up & reason i'm not able ta post pic's off android is due ta pixels, as U stated... Look at computers, this hand help android is only access ta net.... Fits in me pocket.. Yet format is outdated... Only have till end of this month for hunting, then it will be called poacihng if choot ta & chill... Doing best i can...

Hogs have learned to read English. Originally they could only read in Russian, hence the term Russian hogs. Now that they have increased their knowledge base many hunters have decided it would be wise to withhold certain information. Course none of this ever applied to East Texas hoggers.

Man I see hogs every time I go. Ive just got to drive 30 or 50 miles one way ever time I go. I have a place right down the road, but those hogs have left out. They will be back when things get cooled off. I understand the wondering because the ones down the road are thick in numbers and have completely come up missing. That spot even has creeks and ponds. You ought to broaden your horizon on the hog hunting spots. Relying on the same old spots can get real old real quick.

Cool deal good luck. Man Ive got a Arkansas sharpening stone that I keep with me while skinning deer. I can remember trying to skin tree rats when I was a kid with real dull knifes. Man it sucked. Didn't have a dad to teach me how to sharpen the knives. I was a boy scout for 7 years and I don't recall being taught how to properly sharpen a knife, but they did let us shoot .22s shotguns and bows. I guess they thought we might cut our fingers off when the adults weren't around. haha Those swiss army knives never really held an edge anyways.

Just got some storms too. It would be a good time to get out there after them this evening. All that wet grass keeps them lubed and cooled down. It puts a little spunk in their step too. School started yesterday, so will be a little more bowed up at the starting gates with school, city soccer, ect. May cut back on hunts till dove season starts up. Neighbors 400 acres is loaded with dove. Ive got to get back out on the hogs too because its when I do my early season scouting for the local deer herd. Im going to let these storms ride on outa here before I jump back out there in it.

Ive been in snake territory but haven't had an eye to eye encounter in a couple of weeks. It was in a creek. Killed it with a waterlogged log. The hogs are getting a little more frisky in the evenings if they have some close bed to feeding situations you may be able to cut them off. I always wear some snake boots, but still look for them.
