Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Hog Kills - Keep It Rolling.....

That's a fact, and as GW said, It's hilarious when the TV hunter frauds use the "I'll back out and come back in the morning" line. I made a poor shot on this nice TX Panhandle buck at last light a few years ago. Looked, looked, and looked some more to no avail so I had no choice but to come back in the morning. I'm sure it didn't take the 'yotes more than an hour to find him......

Looks like fun. We don’t have any on our lease……YET. Knock on wood but it’s probably just a matter of time.

I’ve been watching a bunch the last couple evenings. Only about 15 minutes of light by the time I get off on day shift and an hour before light when I get off on nights. But I finish up my last night Thursday morning and they’ll be in trouble if they’re still where they have been.

As bad as they are the one bright spot is how much a guy can learn about bullets and stalking game by hunting 100 days a year and killing scores of large animals instead of one or two deer in a year. Certainly has opened my eyes and dispelled some long held beliefs and long storied myths. I probably get to kill and examine more deer sized game this way in a year than many will in a lifetime.

Couldn't agree more, and you just described my situation as well. Hogs are great test subjects, and I'm very fortunate that my two buddy's places are infested with them and I have easy access. It's enlightening to learn how wrong the internet experts can be at times that's for sure.

Jpro...how much bandwidth do we have for this?

Mas.....

I'm just getting warmed up....

You asked for it.....

more....

Poobah.....you kill some uglyassss hogs.

You get extra points for spotted pigs

You ever smoked one of those little one's whole hog style? I bet they're fantastic.

Yes. Pretty good on pit with mesquite

Everybody knows you can’t possibly kill hogs using gloss stocks with white line spacers….geez

And ribbon BDL stocks and needle gun cartridges.

Shot one early on. Shot two more on the move that did not come to the feeders at distance later.

of the three, only recovered one.



Being as it was at night at unknown distance, it took a while to find the next morning.

Got a twofer' on two eaters' by lining em' up.



Shot them out of this blind. I built it in 2002. Moved it here in 2004.



Had my thermal with me and was perpared to stay later but the crew were cooking steaks, taters, corn on the cob and grilled vegetables, so I decided to head on back to camp rather than have a cold tater' and wait!

I have eight locations that have spin cast feeders and one water trough where the hoglets come at night.

I set up to throw corn for 3 seconds twice a day at 6 and two I feed only at night. 300 lbs of corn will last a little more than three months.

Some folks say if you shoot pigs off a feeder they will not come back. When I set up a feeder, I usually wait 3 to 6 months before I kill off it. By that time they have it their piggy brains that this is where the groceries is.

I typically do not hunt a location but once every month to two months. Allowing that time period to elapse, pig are always back to their routine.

Don't kill every night but pretty much kill on average of two out of three sets. Seems like the more time I'm in the stand the luckier I get.

ya!
