I have gotten many hogs down in the southeast, the largest being a Piney-wood rooter with 4 inch tuskers weighing in at 225#, taken with a 60# Black- Widow useing the old Bear type broadheads. Hogs are pretty easy to find signs if they are in the area, look for rootings where the ground is all torn up, I have seen areas that looked like a bulldozer went in there and torn the ground up. Hogs are where you find them, I have shot them anywhere from pasture land and I have shot them while eating water hicen (sp)? blossoms in the swamps. When you are in a concentration of hogs where they just been you can actually smell them. I have gotten them from a stand but that was when I was deer hunting at the same time as I always preferred to stalk them. Early mornings and late evening hunts were the best. Don' t under estimate there smarts either, stay down wind of them and when there heads comes up from rooting, you better freeze. Reminds me of times when we use to catch them bare handed by the hind legs dureing the off season. Field dressing a hog has got to be the worse smell too, heaven forbid haveing a gut shot one.[] Enjoy, Bobby
