Mr September Report post Posted February 21, 2019 I thought that the pigs seemed to be up at first light this year, and then bedded again by 9 am, and then when they were up they were hanging around in the bottoms of canyons. VERY difficult to see them this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savagman Report post Posted February 22, 2019 28 degrees - 10pm feeding on dormant bermuda grass in Huachuca City 35 degrees - 7 am crossing the road in Nogales Seems like the cold not an issue. Nocturnal behavior is new observation for me... Always subscribed to the sleep in theory but recent observations have me re-thinking that. Has 2 tag - increased hunting pressure - led to adaptations? Anyone else observe them active at night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZDirtyTaco Report post Posted February 22, 2019 The ghetto pigs where I'm at are always active at night and dormant by day. I can't recall having seen one in my neighborhood between the hours of 6:00am-9:00pm and there is a healthy population here. I believe it has more to do with the increased UTV activity throughout the backcountry than it does actual hunting pressure or the number of tags. The farther away from human traffic you get, the more traditional their behavior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seek100plus Report post Posted February 23, 2019 Little trick , I learned . Go to home depot and buy flowers and plants . Plant them all and next morning everything will be gone . Pigs will be very close by . Works everytime ! Wish it was that easy to find them in my hunting unit 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
