[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5808602, member: 11842"] Yea I've read that by nature they're more nocturnal than deer are. So that's another issue with trying to thin them out on WMA. All the hunting pressure from deer and duck season, especially the latter in swampy areas where hogs love to hangout, has gotten them completely nocturnal. So I can stalk fresh sign for quite some time and never see one. They're bedded in stuff way too thick to sneak in without making too much noise or getting sniffed out as the winds swirl. A few years ago I had a sow false charge me, she had piglets. This was during turkey season so I could have blasted her with a face full of turkey load but wasn't sure if that'd do the trick. I carry a 9mm which would do it, but relying on a pistol shot with a charging pig can be risky. She stopped about 10 yds from me and walked away. Had she taken another step, we were both about to find out if turkey load would do it! [/QUOTE]
