Is this a hog wallow?

Hog wallows look like a bowl in the mud . Usually have smooth rounded sides n bottom.

Put a trail cam on it , if deer are using it I’d say it’s a mineral lick , hogs will use them also ...they destroy everything

This is on a WMA. If it's a mineral lick does that mean something illegal is going on?
Happens all the time , illegal and legal ! I know some wma area managers use to put out mineral stations

This is a couple of wallows that was on one of the best places I’ve ever turned out a dog on. The three small ones produced 3 good mountable boars one sat morning before dinner time and bigger one was in the edge of a wide open food plot that didn’t produce any but was always nice to stop and look at

This does not look like one... they are like a bowl and 2-3 fee across and smooth inside due their belly rubs..

Looks like someone put out a mineral lick, but dead center of the bottom pic is definitely a hog track. In the upper pic to the top right, you see a slight "slide", that is indicative of a hog laying in it. I would think it isnt a hog wallow as much as it was a hog that found some mud and laid down to get cool. Once they find a cool spot that holds a little bit of water, it wouldnt surprise me if it turns into one though.
