Question

wild hogs question

Answer 1

I won't give away my spots but I will give advice.

Get a good topo map of the area you'd like to hunt. The Muddy Creek WMA for example. You need to find low lying areas with plenty of shade. Hogs love small stock ponds or marshy low lying areas to wallow in. You can even check mud puddles on dirt roads. If hogs are wallowing in your hunting area you will be able to smell it on warm days.

Hogs have way better eye sight then people think so hunting from raised positions is good. They have even better senses of smell so a cover scent like raccoon urine works great.

If you shoot a hog that is with other hogs do not leave your stand until they are gone. Hogs will gore you if they get a chance. Shoot as many hogs as possible before pack breaks and runs. They are nuisance animals. Don't worry about wasting meat because anything you leave on the ground will be eaten by scavengers. And you can always donate meat at your local meat processor to charity.

You can bait hogs legally but your bait will also attract bears and predators so be careful. Stale or moldy loaves of bread, rotten meat, rotten vegetables and popcorn all work great as bait. You can pour old peanut oil on your bait pile as well.

Be careful and I hope your successful. Feral hogs are tearing up all kinds of habitat.
