This is for the experienced "hoggers" out there, our lease is in the eastern portion of Oglethorpe county, close to the Wilkes county line, over the last 10yrs or so we've had hogs on the lower end of our lease off and on, some years we'd see sign, some years not.
Last couple of years I suppose the population has increased, as they are more or less permanent residents now, up until this year we really haven't made an effort to hunt them, and none of us in the club know much about them, except they appear to constantly roam, and are for the most part, nocturnal in their movements.
My question is during this time of the year, it being cold and sometimes rainy, where would the hogs likely lay up during daytime hours? Would they lay up in the thickets? Where they have a lot of cover and underbrush? Or would they lay up somewhere they can soak up the Sun when its out ? We're trying to figure out where they are bedding or laying up,,, our property is mostly pine plantation, with a few wet weather draws with hardwoods around them.
