re: Anybody bow hunt for hogs?

Those pictures look awesome.

When he says low and behind the shoulder.... put it right in the armpit just above the elbow. A hogs vitals are really tucked in there tight.

I was looking at some pictures of that. Looks like a tight window for sure.

already got him on ICE! lol


Fwiw, I like to stalk in on them mid day when temps are above 80.

Scout out where they like to bed in the shade, usually soft soil areas with low thick brush or cedar trees, or pockets of tall grass inside of dense woods both near water sources. Come back on a warm day and sneak in quietly using the wind.

look for wallows in clay or mud along small creeks or run offs. the mud on the surrounding trees can help lead you to these areas. Hogs will routinely return to wallow anytime there is light rain. either set up in that location or stalk in. The wet ground also makes stalking in quieter.


also pigs will pattern to specific fence crossings. find these low cover game trails and set up perpendicular to them. if they are crossing from wide open to a thick area and you have the skill you can pick off several in a row (AR) as they will just keep coming through the crossing to get to "safety"






1 warning, an injured pig will charge. Uninjured pigs are just like any other animal and will run from you unless they have piglets to protect. But make a bad shot on one and there is a good chance it will charge you so be prepared for a follow up shot or an elevated escape.

Sometimes I shoot them in the ear too.

Pretty cool video about arrow deflection and taking the "path of least resistance" done by RF. I love his videos. He gets annoying sometimes, but the information he's getting out there is something everyone needs to be doing. It just works.
