I live in East Texas, what time of year do the females have their babies?

I cant speak for the wild hogs but a sow comes into heat every 21 days and carry for 116 days so with those numbers if everything went right she could have 3 litters in a single year, and I believe they have young at all times of the year.

Sows can have pigs at any time of year. Usually they will have litters here in TX when body condition is good (like they are now). A drought will cut them back some, but not completely. There is no definite breeding season.

And they can have many many pigs at one time. One year I had two sows coming to my feeder with very small pigs. I never could figure out which pigs belonged to which sow. They had 17 pigs between them.
