Hogs are tough, no doubt. They really don't have good eyesight, but can pick out movement and their noses are top-notch. I did my first spot-and-stalk hog hunt in GA earlier this year. Three of us only got one small one in two days of hunting (just couldn't get on them--they were there). The cool thing is all three of us shot him, and all three made a killing shot--the little sucker just didn't know he was dead! Plan to go back next Feb. when it's cooler--a fellow down there took us on his hunting lease (several hundred acres), plus he owns another 400+ acres on the river there. Hope to stay longer this time, and maybe use a little bit of what we learned and kill more. Dang tough hunting, but a lot of fun!

Yea. They do notice tall objects, but if you squat or crawl, they never know you are there. Be sure to play the wind, they do have great noses. I usually shot about 5 to 6 hogs a year. My land is eat up with them. This is the last one I arrowed on a spot and stalk. He was a little over 250lbs.
