Want to know how to hunt for hogs

jamesw · 12-09-2007, 02:27 PM

A friend and I just went to some near by woods to sight my scopes on the .22's, and everywhere you looked, it was rooted up by hogs.
On the trails, there were tracks everywhere, very fresh.

Also, alot of deer activity, fresh poo, and tracks.

I also found a dead doe, I kept the skull

I dont plan to shoot a deer, just pigs.

I didnt see any water holes, i saw some dried up holes that looks swampy.

So what would i do?

Should i get a game camera and find a place where there is some activity, then climb up a tree and wait?
OR just sit against a tree and wait?

Should i walk around and look for them?

I have never ever been hunting. I've always been very interested in it since i was a little kid.

I plan to use my 7x57 mauser to make the kill.
I know where to shoot the pig, but not really how to hunt them.

I live in north florida.

find a good looking spot where there is some activity and put out a little corn if it is ok in your state, and put out your game camera, then just wait and see what kind of critters come to eat, it may take a little bit and you may have to put out more corn for about a week but if there are hogs in the area they will find it, and your camera will show what time they are coming in, then just find the best palce to put up your stand and get there before the hogs do and wait for them to show, and when they do the rest is up to you. good luck, and they are good eating also. steve

I was fixing to nicely lay into you if hadnt mentioned the 7X57 mauser.
You can try stalking when you find fresh signs if you can perfect being quiet.
This way is more fun.
Remember to walk a little and stop and wait then move very quietly, every step you take offers a new view of the woods.
You'll most always jump Hogs while most of the herd is napping but one will see you and all hell will break loose so be ready to shoot and climb a tree if you have to.
Bring some first aid items to stop bleedin in case your attacked, Charged up cell phone, and the biggest knife you can easily handle in case your taken down by a big tusker.
If you know anyone that owns a sawed off shotgun borrow it, put a sling on it and use it leaveing the area.
Hogs will scatter in all directions which can be dangerous and a confortation is possible, the shotgun will come in handy then.
And don't get LOST and go in the morning where you'll have enough daylight left to get back to your truck...A.H

i agree, those big boys can be aweful dangerous

sbowers5 · 12-09-2007, 06:12 PM

i'v hunted them for years, and although i have heard about the violent confrontations that some say they have had, i have found that a good fist shot and a dead hog on the ground usually causes the rest to leave the area, mabe it is just luck,and i hope i never have the experience, but i do carry a big side arm just in case

Great post!
Thanks alot.
Should i wait and go in the summer? Or are they still out there in the winter?

sbowers5 · 12-09-2007, 06:37 PM

get after them right now, and good luck, they are a ball to hunt

nathangdad · 12-09-2007, 07:31 PM

A hog is, despite what some may think, a very powerful, fast, and violent animal (especially a wounded male). I would at least go with a Remington 870 pump (rifled barrel), a red dot sight, and Remington's buckhammer slugs.
You may just find that it is all about put down power.

Farmer · 12-10-2007, 03:00 AM

You can hog hunt anytime, summer is best during the hot part of the day near water, where they wallow. Any other time of year they tent to sleep under trees during the day and are really hard to spot, they almost always spot you first.

Creep quietly up gullys and the hungry ones will be digging the sweet roots in the creek beds.

Or you can be lucky, 1 got three last week just driving around my paddocks, not even hunting.

webs · 12-10-2007, 01:45 PM

I have killed a few hogs in your state of Florida not far from your location.The area I hunted was near Hollister.The best hunting was over bait(corn)that had been put out a couple weeks before my arrival.Once they start coming to the bait it is best to take a stand down wind of the location.They don't see well but they can sure smell.The hogs I shot were all taken with a 12 gauge shotguns with both Slugs and Buckshot.I prefer the slugs over the buckshot.I have not run in to any mean ones yet but the locals have some scary stories they just love telling.Be careful out there.

soonerborn · 12-11-2007, 10:57 AM

Arkansashunter knows what he is talking about. He described exactly the way I hunt hogs.

Couple more tips.

Hogs tend to stay grouped up so it is rare to find them wandering around by themselves. The exception of course are the larger boars who you will sometimes find away from the pack. You will be able to hear the hogs from a good distance away if you take your time and just go slow. You really should have no problem getting up to them.

The biggest factor to avoiding detection is their nose, so hunt into the wind. They dont see to good but if you wear contrasting colors or make quick movements they will see you. They have pretty good hearing also, but generally make so much noise that its easy to go unheard.

Just spend lots of time going through your hunting area and try to spot all their major trails and watering holes. They like to nap in the same areas, so if you can catch them resting make sure you remember the time, day and location of that spot and scout out some quick easy paths to those locations. As conditions get dry they will tighten up their movements and stay closer to water sources. My favorite time to hunt is right after a rain or snow. You can walk through and check their main trails and when you cut a fresh trail its easy to follow it straight to them.

When you close in for a shot, be alert, often in my experience the young pigs will be playing while the older and larger ones are resting in the general area. You do not want to shoot one only to find yourself ringed by 20 hogs you just woke up. They have no rhyme or reason as to the directions they run around in so most likely if you get in close to them you are gonna get busted.

Most of the time when you shoot they will just scatter, but be very watchful of any larger ones that dont run but instead start looking in your direction. This is why I use a semi auto. If you have a bolt action or single shot you really really need to carry a back up. My semi auto jammed on me one time after putting 3 rounds into a charging boar and the only thing that saved my bacon (pun intended) was that my cousin was standing next to me and my last shot knocked the boar down giving me time to get my cousins attention (he was firing opposite direction). He spun around and finished the hog off just as he was starting to move towards us again. Needless to say I now carry a backup even with my semi auto.

Dont plan on packing out that hog either, unless you can drive right to it. Best bet is to bring your cleaning gear with you. They are generally covered in lice/ticks so you dont want to be tossing one on your shoulder and carrying it out.

Be careful when you are leaving the area too. You just ticked off a lot of hogs and they will not be friendly should you run into them on the way out. You do not want to be anywhere near when the sun goes down, so make sure you give yourself time to get your pigs cleaned and get out.

I generally smoke the hams whole, fry/bbq the loins and sausage the rest. The best size for eating are of course the younger ones weighing in around 100-150. Even smaller ones make for some excellent whole hog pit cooking.

Good luck and make sure you take a friend with you on this hunt. I mean you could play it safe and just bait them and wait in a stand, but its not nearly as rewarding as going after them.

ArkansasHunter · 12-11-2007, 11:31 AM

soonerborn I enjoyed your post and it was an excellent one.

The only thing we left out is sometimes while stalking or slipping through the woods when your standing still or leaning against a tree you'll have hogs appear as they go along there marry way.
So you have two possibilitys Jumping a resting herd or like Deer you'll meet up with them while there forageing.

Knowing that wild hogs can hurt you a friend and I use to pump a lot of Iron and run.
We use to pull up to a sub station in the middle of no where, park and limber up and take off running down one of the many right of ways.
We would come to a logging road that cut through the woods that came out to some train tracks.
When we made it to the logging road we sometimes would stop to catch our breath because we were running not jogging.
As soon as we made it to the logging road and I was give slam out, sucking air like you wouldn't believe my friend and I jumped the biggest herd of hogs I've ever seen.
They LMAO !!! took off in every direction LOL and I panicked !!! I hit a passing gear I never knew I had.
I was just like Forrest Gump !!! I ran so fast I known I had to pass some of the Hogs getting the crap out of there !
When I came to the train tracks I didn't go up them to get back to the Power substation I crossed the tracks and headed to the highway that was closer.
The friend with me that I thought I had left behind was close behind me.
Anyway if there ever was a time in my life that I paniced it was then AND It was the first time I almost choked to death from trying to suck in enough air.
I never went running there again...That was back when I was 18 to 19 years old. A.H

toolman · 12-11-2007, 12:40 PM

We just drive around with a spotlight because they come into a large open field behind my FIL's house at night. You have to be ready to shoot because, as stated above they scatter with no rhyme or reason as to direction. You have to be careful as they can end up behind you. Be careful when you spot small pigs as momma will probably be pretty close by and won't be happy if you're messing with her babies. There's been some discussion of the best spot to shoot them. I try for neck shots right behind the head, but some use a behind the shoulder shot. The shoulders are very tough and attempting to stop one with a shoulder shot usually fails. They're fun to hunt and trap and they're good eating to boot.

jamesw · 12-11-2007, 12:47 PM

wow, that was some good reading. Thanks for the great posts!
I just got back from buying a couple boxes of ammo for the 7x57, im so stoked!

ArkansasHunter · 12-11-2007, 12:59 PM

You asked when would be the best time to hunt them and I suppose anytime you can but remember spring and summer you have a lot of foilage (leaves) and it makes it a lot harder to see. Don't for get snakes...Did you know hogs eat snakes, they do.
And if I was going to eat a wild hog I reather shoot one during cold weather months.
I've enjoyed this thread so I'm going to call my hunting buddy next door neighbor and see if he'll let me go hunt some hogs on his hunting lease.
His huntting club is over ran by them and he only hunts about a mile and a half from my house if that far...A.H

jamesw · 12-12-2007, 02:52 PM

I stayed out there for about 3 and a half hours.

I walked alot and sat by a large water hole for a bit.

Lots of hog activity, but i didnt see any.

I was walking down a trail and heard a noise, i look over and thought i saw a horse!

It was the biggest deer ive ever seen in person or in pictures.

I start to back away so i didnt die and a doe runs right by me! about 10 feet from me.
I thought the buck would surely follow, and i would get murdered, but he took off in the other direction.

Boy was that a cool experience, being that close and seeing them in thier natural habitat, not the zoo " nature trail "

I plan on going back tomorrow, but im going to bring some dogs to help me find them.
They arent trained, but my smallest dog sniffs and loves to attack small animals, and im hoping the bulldogs just know from instinct lol.

Anyways, it was super fun, i was all by myself, but it didnt matter!

A quick question.

Are the little pellets that look like dog food, deer scat?
I thought so, but i saw some HUGE poop that looks like it was from a cow, I thought hogs had turds that looked like a dogs and deer had th little rabbits balls, so what could that have been?

toolman · 12-12-2007, 07:25 PM

Deer scat can be anywhere from around 1\8" to about 3\8" and are a black pellet form (like rabbits) when fresh. Hogs leave more of a "turd" that can range from 1\2" up to 2.5-3" in dia. and is usually sort af a brownish\grey\black color and is usually segmented.

jamesw · 12-12-2007, 08:02 PM

Thanks, i googled it and it seems what i saw was deer crap, they said the pellets are usually from when the deers diet is mostly dry stuff and what i saw is when they eat more moist stuff.

Im going back tomorrow, my brother may go and take his dogo argentina, and his .45

toolman · 12-12-2007, 09:30 PM

Ya know, "Interesting Game Poo" could be a pretty lively thread.

jamesw · 12-13-2007, 05:42 PM

I went back today and stayed a few hours.
Didnt see any hogs again, but on the way back to the truck, i smelled shit, and saw it, put my hand over it and it was hot!
So tomorrow im taking some dogs, i know they could have found that hog since the shit was so fresh.

I was pretty scared on the way to the truck today, some tresspassers jumped out of thier truck and said 'theres a hog!'
but it was me they saw, i was afriad they were the type that shoots at anything that moves, and i was gonna get shot. I guess i need some blaze orange.
I wasnt in camo, a brown shirt and blue dickies.

So tomorrow im taking some dogs, i know they could have found that hog since the shit was so fresh. I was pretty scared on the way to the truck today, some tresspassers jumped out of thier truck and said 'theres a hog!' but it was me they saw, i was afriad they were the type that shoots at anything that moves, and i was gonna get shot. I guess i need some blaze orange. I wasnt in camo, a brown shirt and blue dickies.
