Just because you don't see hogs does not mean they are nocturnal. That is jumping to a conclusion without valid reasoning or the assumption that just because you are out in daylight and don't see themt hat they must be nocturnal.

They are diurnal. Depending on the environment, they may exhibit crepuscular behavior so as to avoid too much direct sunlight. Some even exhibit partial nocturnal behavior. Pigs will adapt any number of ways and seem quite flexible on a individual basis.

If you aren't seeing pigs in the daytime, stop making so much noise!
