Pigs were made for spot and stalk bowhunting. We are starting to get a population around here, but every farmer and redneck in the area takes pot shots at them. They make deer look calm! I figure within the next few years there will be more than we can shoot since this entire area is a huge creek bottom surrounded by farm land.
I agree Chad; I've done a of spot and stalk with my compound in certain parts of the state. The pigs at my ranch I like to pistol hunt. Now that I'm back to trad, I'll start doing that.
This pig was over 250 pounds but was a boar so I put him in the gut pile; too big for me to eat.

This little guy was the perfect cooking pig and he was delicious too.

This last one was about 400 pounds he was mean and ugly. Shot him in the spine and he couldn't get up, left him almost two hours and he was still trying to get up and get some revenge.. took two shots to the head with a 45 to finally dispatch him.

This is what happens almost every night at my feeders and I have four of them, one reason I don't see a lot of deer. You can see a 2x2" metal square tubing in the middle of the feeder. Filled it weighs over 500 pounds and they had been moving them 50 yards away by running into them trying to get more corn out of them.. Dummies it's auger feed.
