Hi Hogmeister
Really pleased a hog has returned. Yes, there are numerous possible reasons why they were absent for a while.
Not sure I recognise ‘the hogs might disappear when they find the ladies but thought even then they would still stop by for a bite’. Maybe I said the male hogs sometimes meet a female and get distracted, before they reach the feeding area – where most people have their cameras. I haven’t noticed that they completely disappear for female related reasons – although I have noticed the young males do tend to (gradually) move on as they grow up. But I suppose it’s possible that if there are no female hogs around that some of the males would spend more time where there were females. But, I’ve always found that some male hogs seem to be more interested in food anyway!
The main thing is, that a hog is back, and hopefully they’ll continue visiting. Yes, wouldn’t it be nice if we could ask them what they’d been up to!
