The hog population on Beaverdam is about as good as it gets. There are a couple of things that make it difficult hunting though. First, after the first few weeks of small game hunting, especially squirrel hunting with dogs,(nothing wrong with that), the hogs go nocturnal. The second thing is that most of the bottom land where they hang out and bed up is extremely thick and hard to move around without alerting every creature within a hundred yards. Your best bet is to hunt early and late in the day. Be prepared to put in some time walking. Listen for pigs squealing and boars fighting over a sow. When you hear them, go to them. If they are making a racket, they won't pay you much attention unless they smell you. Be ready while you are walking, you will probably jump bedded hogs. Carry a GPS!!!. Everything looks the same if you get off in the thick stuff going to the pigs if you are not familiar with the area. They are there but you will have to work for it. There are some monster hogs there so be careful.
