Hey folks, I am a newbie to the pig chasing game and could use a little help on what kind of habitat I should be looking for. I have made 4 trips to Ft Stewart in the last couple of weeks and I am having trouble locating the bacon. I am hoping that you all can point me in a productive direction on what I should be looking for.
I have been spending my time walking hardwood/cypress bottoms and finding them largely dried out. There is some sign around what little remaining water there is. But, even the amount of sign is not what i would call overwhelming. It is just enough to confirm that there are pigs in the area, but not any concentration.
Seeing how dry a lot of that was, I moved down and started working some of the areas adjacent to the river in C17 & 18. Again, some sign, but not anything crazy. Almost too much water there...some deep mud that about stole my boots. Thinking I need to find a happy medium with a creek/hardwood bottom that still has water in it but maybe not as much as the river.
Anyway, I have put about 10 miles on the bootsoles and am wondering if I am even on the right track. On the bright side, found a number of good looking spots for deer season, but that is not my primary mission now. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks!
