No limit on number of Wild Hogs taken

The ranch has wild hogs of both sexes and all ages.

The 4J Ranch has several one-man tree blinds and several two-man ground blinds. They are located next to open areas where feed can be placed on the ground within forty yards of the blind. Consequently, most animals are taken within forty yards of the blind.

Wild hogs are nocturnal but will continue to feed several hours after sunup and an hour before sundown depending on environmental conditions. Temperature, ground moisture, previous or next, day's weather, and moonlight all play a role in predicting wild hog behavior. The first clear day after a severe cold front or thunderstorm is a good morning to be in the blind. Conversely, the morning before severe weather hits the area is a good morning to be in the blind. If the night before had clear skies with a full moon and the forecast is clear for the next couple of days, be prepared to stalk hunt one hour after sunup.
