    Love/Hate Relationship with Springy Weather...

    Man guys, the last 7 times I have been out I haven't heard a grunt, squeel, fight, or much less seen anything. Around this area, every springtime this usually happens. The rains come and everything starts to grow in the woods and ALLthe hogs disappear from the feeders. I don't even have coons, OR deer coming in! Love being in the woods now though as the greenery, flowers, andwarmer weatherare always a plus, just wish I had some activity! Oh,...wait, I did have some new activity....the mosquitos are back!....uggg....time to start paking in the Thermacell... Hope some of you other guys are seeing some action...... Be good.....

    Same problem here in Palo Pinto County.....Not much activity going on here.....Good luck!! I have also set some old guard rail post close to the feeder and soaked them in diesel....they should be coming in and rubbing on the poles to get rid of the tick,fleas and bugs...this may help you too...Just a thought!!

    Gosh the mosquitos are HUGE! We finally have some hogs coming around again. Have got 3 in the last couple weeks. Two were nice size ridgebacks. We have never had any of those around. Will try to download some pics when I have time. With spring piglets, I bet yal will start seeing some hogs at the feeders soon. Good luck.

    Here are the 2 Ridgebacks my wife got the last couple weeks. She finally got enough confidence for head shots, both DRT. #1 was a gilt; #2 a young boar. She is slaying them & I haven't seen a dang thing except on camera!

    Hand it to the little lady. At least someone is putting the piggies down....

    Can't give her too much credit....she already has a big head! She is lucky. They always seem to come wherever she is or she walks up on them! We hope to try & even the score tonight if the weather holds.We need all the rain we can get now tho. So if not tonight, tomorrow night.

    I hunted in west Tx around Aspermont last week. No rain. Dry as a bone but no mesquitos either. All I shot was one big old turkey gobbler. We have a hunt scheduled at the end of this month (May 2012) around Centerville Tx. Hope we do better. I'll be sure to bring along the Thermacell and unscented bug stuff.

    We have had lots of rain here in east Texas. Pigs are still coming in to feeders regularly.
