Welcome to the Forum guys. We're here to help.
In my experience, food plots are geared toward forage eating deer. Hogs like to get in the plots sometimes and root around where the earth is looser than in the creek bed where the soil is hard.
Look for fresh rootings. You will know them due to the extent to which the ground is torn up. I mean real "anti-personnel" holes in the ground. Uneven, torn up, ground cover removed, dirt exposed, hog footprints all over the place type of holes.
Look for them in the creek beds where the thickest cover is found and the air is cool. They sunburn just like we do and while they will forage out in the open in the daylight, they are still wary and will not be too far from cover unless the eating is good and they are pre-occupied with that and wander far out.
They don't see all that well (near sighted) and make a lot of noise from a wildlife perspective when foraging, but their noses and hearing are keen. If you are quiet and the wind is in your face you can creep within arm's reach of them - but don't get that close. Stay still and let them forage toward you.
Corn is a good bait if legal where you are. Make a "pig pipe" and leave it in a place where you want to hunt. Fill it with corn and when they find that corn they will either eat it all and/or come back time looking for more. Just keep the corn there and they will come.
Hogs are prolific breeders (2 to 3 times per year with average sounders of 6 to 12) and pretty soon you will be contributing to the multiplying population. If you have hogs, your area has both a problem and a continual source for your hunting pleasure.
