hog travel patterns

[Fearless]

I saw a hog working around a pond today, he had rooted all a round it and was laying in the water on the far side at 10am today. My ? is does any one know how far they travel in a day my stand is 1.7 miles away.

There is no such thing as hog travel patterns. They are nomadic creatures that follow food with no rhyme or reason.

There are no patterns to hog travel in my experience. They eat and move. Consistent food source like a feeder is the only thing that brings predictability.

Ditto what was said above.

They do have some affinity to their "home range," which can vary from a few hundred acres to several thousand acres based on food availability and pressure. A 2011-12 telemetry study of adult female wild pigs with sounders in east Texas resulted in home range estimates of approximately 2 square miles, or 1,100 acres.Jul 6, 2020
