i'm new to this hog hunting and have been hitting lake sonoma pretty hard.up until now it has been really dry and you just cant sneak around in the brush well without gettin busted.I have seen hogs twice and passed up a shot the first day since it was questionable.
I am wondering about what kind of weather is best.will they feed all day in the rain or will they bed down.both times that I've seen hogs it was raining.once in the morning and once when it just stopped in the evening.Is there any weather that seems to get them going or should I just put in the time any chance that I get.i dont mind hard work but if there is a window of oppurtunity in certain weather that you guys can pinpoint for me it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Venomous keeper

If you can get out in the morning after a storm, it's usually pretty good. But remember, any day hunting is better than working.

Ive always had my best luck on cool overcast days after a big rain. The ground is nice, soft and easy to root and its not too hot for the hogs to be out during the day

Nothing better in my experience than overcast and wet...hogs are photosensitive and come out of the woodwork to root up the soft soil and eat the earthworms forced to the surface.

Photosensitive hogs?

That would explain why i have so much trouble getting them on film.
