I saw them on the place I was on, but they were there when I got there along with the deer. The folks up high in the plantations rarely saw hogs or had pics of hogs.

true.. deer didn't mind them being there as much as I did. They got ticked off more at the mallards and woodies that would waddle over from the sloughs.

With that many hogs they have got adapt or move on to new ground if there is anything like that left there.

they both moved around. The hogs would fluctuate with the acorns, a lot of the deer would too. Folks just don't realize how far deer will move when they start dropping. I was getting 1 buck on cam that the guy who got me on that lease had on cam all summer 4.5 miles off. We see the same mess @ the inlaws, the deer are concentrated in the back yard until the acorns start falling, then your pet does stick around and the bucks drop off to the river bottom despite having to deal with the hogs.

Interesting...2000 acres with a mile of Neches riverfront, cypress brakes, ridges, and not a single hog this year or last, day or night, in the flesh or on Gcams...go figure. Deer season still sucked.

The deer numbers will be affected by hogs if the hog numbers aren't kept under control, just like the rabbit and coyote populations control each other, lots of coyotes and then you have very few jack rabbits, lots of Jack rabbits then you know the coyote controls are working

If the pigs are really gone, they had some mighty hard pressure, I've never seen a area that had lots of hogs ever go down to none.All it takes is one sow with a belly full to start it all over again.

With that many hogs they have got adapt or move on to new ground if there is anything like that left there. with our current hog situation, only thing they can do really is move up to the pine plantations. They run into a large body of water if they try to do anything else.

The body weight is improving but antler size is yet to be determined after the 2nd yr with AR's.

25 hogs per square mile would be a ton of hogs; We don't have that many hogs anywhere we hunt.

pretty sure that fella was talking about deer per sq mile...which would require a lot of folks to not pull the trigger for a while.

The hill country runs above 50 per sq mile but does lack the food, south tx runs around 35 per sq mile. North west tex will run 15 or so but due to the LARGE size of ranges and acres per hunter the hunting is good to great. Every mouth eating food is a less food that the deer have. AR is good with-in reason but it will not fix a problem of too many hunters per sq mile. We could put east tex in a lottery style system

You keep blaming the problem on hunters and hunting pressure and that is true to a point. But habitat can only support so may deer. So if prior to ARs ranches had enough deer for their hunters, what is the problem now with ARs from if they have the same hunters then and now? Just curious.
