R these 2 hogs preventing others from coming?

[theblakester]

The same two boars have been coming out on my dad's place for a while now #70-90 boar and #120-150 boar. They come in every day at separate times and hang out for a while each time. They are hitting multiple feeders but one feeder more regularly than the other feeders and roll barrels.

Any chance these two are preventing other pigs from coming in?

150, not likely

350, probably

I agree with BRD they would have to be at least in the 200 pound range before they ran to many off. Plus they want the sows arround just not the other lone boars.

An easy way to test this theory is to shoot the two boars and see if the other hogs come back. Of course their presence isn't the only variable, but could be a contributing factor.

LOL! I would but it's almost a 5 hr drive, and I spent all my money on night vision!
I'm gonna try to take my lady friend out there in a couple weeks when she gets done student teaching and let her bust the smaller one. He comes out every day an hour before dark. Shouldnt be too hard of a shot for her.

That's what I've really enjoyed is taking friends and people who have never hunted out for a hunt and get their first kill. Problem is lately I'm not seeing any hogs on the properties I hunt. Sucks!
