Any of you Texas guys seeing a decline in the numbers of hogs lately. The past two months or so they seem be be barely moving around my area of East Texas. I have traps out and I shoot them from stands too normally, but lately I am hardly even seeing tracks around the feeders and traps.
I'm thinking maybe the big crop of acorns are keeping them fed deep in the woods or something like that. I have heard it suggested that there might be a disease that has wiped out some of them also, but i don't buy into that theory necessarily.
I started toward a goal of 500 hogs on one property just over 5 years ago and I was stuck at 470 for over a month. I finally shot one from a stand and broke through to 471 but still no real activity. Other guys around this area seem to be having the same problems as me and I was just curious about activity around other areas.
