A group of people continually in full agreement isn't a discussion, it is--well, I don't know what it is. Maybe a group singalong or something similar.It appears the dissection continues. Sometimes it seems I should just stay out of discussions like this as I guess I mention things that can be controversial, or at least can be interpreted as such.
Worthwhile discussions virtually always involve at least some level of controversy. And dissection is not a bad thing, in fact it's an important learning method. Pulling things apart to see how they work, or looking at situations in detail to isolate differences and their possible effects, can be very enlightening.
If someone shot many times more hogs last year than that same person was able to shoot this year even hunting over the same area and in the same heat then it sounds like there's at least one other factor involved.Bottom line is.....it's hot here (without comparison to other years!), I don't find hogs moving much out of the cover in this heat, so they are harder for me to find at this time.
Obviously, anyone interested in hunting hogs will be very interested in being able to better predict when they will/won't be moving. Along those lines, can you think of anything else that might account for the significantly reduced movement of the hogs this year as compared to last?
