There were four of them at the feed again last night. One boar that we've nicknamed Z, thats about the same size as the one I shot. There is a red spoted boar we call Tigger who's quite a bit smaller and two sows. One looks pregnant. Sometimes there is two others with that group, but we only saw the four.
They travel the same trails most days and never stay on our land. The ranch on two sides of us is 240 acres, and the land on the other side of us is 460 acres. There are lots of places for them to hang out and be safe, but our place has the only clearings, pastures and feeders.
There are tracks where they had drank out of the pond by the house, and the Lake, which is down aways from the house. There is a hole where I took out a big oak tree that is half full of water along there trail that they wallow in. There is also a dry sandy area that they also wallow in. Close by are several trees with the bark rubbed smooth from them scratching there too.
What sucks is they are rooting up around my trees be the Lake. I saved those trees to make it pretty there, and they have dug down as much as two feet in areas. I smoothed it out the other day in hope the grass will grow. There are all sorts of duck tracks over that area now, but no hogs have tore it up again.
