depends when it is.....during archery, i like to sit in my stand, though the only hog i killed with my bow, i was stalkin', lol....with the rest of the hunts , i like to stalk withmy muzzleloader, rarely do i bring my shot gun in the woods ...or i usemy 30/30.....then when the hog / dog hunts are on, i do it with the dogs and my pig sticker .
