Hi Chdale55
Welcome to the Forum.
There are reports of some hogs beginning to return now, so keep an eye out for them. Hogs here tend normally return near the beginning of March – so it could be any day now.
The males normally return before the females. They go into hibernation earlier – they don’t have hoglet duties to attend to which the females have! But it also gives them the opportunity to put on bit of weight before the females return and they begin to use up a lot of energy circling them and fighting other males!
Good luck. Hope you have some happy hog watching this hog season!
