I have two questions for any hog hunters out there.  First do hogs move in the rain or do they bed down and wait untill after the rain has stopped? (on a typical basis)  Second a friend and I have been arguing over if a hogs eyes glow in a spot light, like a coyote.  He says that they do not shine in the light.  We have not gotten a chance to go spot lighting yet to settle the arguement so I was hopeing for some help here.  Thanks.  I would love to see any pictures you have of hogs as well.

Where im from they love the rain, actually, on the ranch I grew up on when it rained thats when we hunted it wouldnt take long and they would come outta the woodwork.

Yes, their eyes glow!

Hope this helped.

Their eyes do not glow to the extent that deer or coyotes do.

Hogs are not built like deer.  Hogs require the shot to be placed forward into the lower shoulder, not behind the shoulder as with deer. A hog's stomach reaches far forward of a deer's.  A hog's heart is protected by front shoulder muscle.  Hogs are hard to bleed-out, by nature's design.  A stomach hit on a hog can involve a long tracking procedure that leads to nothing.  Cliffy

Hogs are difficult to read, since they are unpredictable regarding movement and weather likes.  This unpredictablity creates more hogs every year as they spread unpredictably into new areas every year.  Hogs are coming toward you!  From Texas to Michigan, Hogs are unstoppable predators soon to visit you.  I can't kill them all, so please help.  Cliffy
