April Weather Creates Great Wild Hog Hunting in the Low Country

Man, what a weekend! After months of cold, April's warm weather mixed with rain created some great conditions for our wild hogs to move for our friends from Virginia. And after being off a weekend to rest up, we were ready for them, and sure enough they killed 5 hogs as well as put some pep into the step of a few more as they headed back to the safety of the swamp.

Everyone saw hogs but it was Mark that got things started Thursday night when rolled up a small one out of a pack before seeing and dropping a nice big one later in the night. Charles and Rodney collected one each Friday night and Charles finished things up Saturday night with a 80lb sow.

In addition to shooting hogs at the feeders, quite a few hogs were seen just wandering around rooting up the swamp and just generally enjoying the Spring weather and the plethora of food it has made available. And after months of just acorns and some corn, both carbohydrates, hogs will always go right to some protein rich plants once they bloom. But as the spring rolls on and gets closer to summer, those plants will get bigger and not as tender, usually causing the hogs to go back to the feeders for an easy meal rather than spend a lot of time on their feet in the heat looking for food. So plenty of great hunting to be had over the next few months; just give us a call about dates or check out our availability calendar. And as always please call with any questions or about last minute openings and specials.
