Those piggies are tough to hunt

i trap a lot of wild hogs. My traps have root doors that are initially set with a stick and a taut trip line in the front of the trap. More hogs can push the door open and enter. It's not unusual to find five or more hogs in our traps. We have caught up to nine adult hogs at the same time.

Hogs can be picky about human scent or not. i take no precautions ire scent. We have field dressed hogs in front of the trap and caught hogs the next night.

These were caught in the same trap on consecutive nights:

They do run into trees. They run into everything when they really get in a hurry.

I have shot a lot of hogs and have yet to see them run into trees, or their companions from sounders. Even if there is the occasional collision, the fact that there are not more attests to the fact that they do not have "poor" vision.

Yes, and when threatened, they sometimes will charge through a threat. That isn't because of having poor vision, but because they are trying to hit you. ute That you attribute being saved from cutting after being flipped attests to the hog intentionally trying to cut you, which is not what would happen if it was a random collision.
