So I would like some info BUT I think I know what will be said.
I have gone hunting at night, day and in between. saw none. I have used traps with just corn, strawberry mix, watermelon mix, and a lot of others but nothing. The worst part is I can not see, hear, smell or any other sign of hog any where out on the place now. I hear others talk that they got them a few miles down the road. I got water, food, and heavy cover on the place but nothing.
Any help would be good.

Hunting hogs is fun, but some would love to have your problem of no hogs. Have you had them in the past? They tend to migrate through our place. We wont see them for months, and then we can't get rid of them.

Yes I have had them in the past last year. the good thing was when they were here they did no damage to our land or any of my neighbors they just moved thru and hung out for a while then moved on. I do know they tear up most of what they see and it cost a lot of money. But it would be nice if I could get 1 or 2.

I sent you a PM. Right now all the pigs we're seeing are really hitting the milo fields where we hunt. We called one in last night. We also caught some running out of the Milo fields too. I'm in Cove if you want some one on one help

Any help would be good. If you want hogs on your place, set up a corn feeder or two and feed every day year round (preferably twice a day). They will come.

It's not uncommon for hogs to live in one area eat everything thing in sight and move on. No worries they will return in few months.
Hogs don't have a true home range like deer.

Yep, we had a crazy spring here with hogs EVERYWHERE for 7 weeks. I went out 2 to 3 times a week and killed pigs every time. I was night hunting alone and sometimes with a buddy. We got a total of 72 pigs in that 7 weeks - eight in one night.
Then in early June, they went byebye and I haven't seen a single pig on ANY of my game cameras. I search after every rain for tracks and see very few, if any. There is one solo boar that lives in creek bottom nearby and I see his tracks after every second or third rain. It is a good year here for vegetation so there is plenty of food, not including feeders. As it gets hotter and drier, they will start hitting water holes and nearby feeders.

This time of year they have a lot of food options. Just stuck game cam out. When they show up on cam is when I would hunt them next.

72 in 7 weeks  0 in almost a yr i need ta go ta one of them HF places & learn how ta hunt Like I said, crazy start then NOTHING....and no high fences just got lucky for a while! They came in the same way, nothing for a long time, then BOOM, pigs everywhere, hunting 3 or 4 nights a week then back to nothing. The strangest thing was seeing pigs EVERY time I went out for a month solid. Really got spoiled and had a few friends I took out for their first night time hunt say how easy it was..if they only knew how many hours and $$$ I spent getting to that point. Had about a quarter of an inch of rain late yesterday so I gotta get on 4wheeler and check trails this morning for tracks.
