Default RE: Wild Hog shot placement?

Some other thoughts for you. Have not yet started bow hunting so hang with me. While the stand is fine you may want to be on the ground so you can move around if need be. I see more pigs on a cool afternoon than in the morning. I have found that while Pigs are smart they are Pigs. They make alot of noise while eating, so put out nice cruchy corn, hides your noise while stalking. They do see better that you think but there heads are much lower than Deer, use available cover, stay low. Like Deer, keep the wind in your face. I hunt a few hundred acres and we now have pigs. This spring I have taken 7 pigs by just walking between our blinds/feeders and catching them on the way from where they bed down to the feeders. Stay out of there bedding area or they may leave town for while. I think that by moving around more they don't learn about and remember where the bad guys are as much as staying in your blind or fixed stand.

I have been using a .357 brush gun with iron sights and have shot all of this years pigs at under 25 yards.

The little ones taste better.

Hope this helps and have fun.
