decent camo and stay down wind and you can get very clost to them...the are mean little critters so do be cafeull...not too close...you need them 1/4 away because of there shield...hit back and have the arrow go through both lungs is the best way to do it...you can go through the shield, i have seen it but need lots of force, good b.h. and stong arrow....

good luck!

I'd LOVE to bowhunt some pigs! I'm gonna have to try it in the next season it two. Sometimes I wish we had hogs around here but then after hearing how distructive they are, I don't think we need 'em!

Make a good shot on them. You have probably heard about the armour plate they have. It is a shield of fat that is really hard to penetrate. f you hit them to far forward you will hit this, and most likely just wound it. Like others said they are pretty agressive animals. On a trip to Texas i was charged by two and had to run and jump in the back of the jeep. So be careful and have fun, they are a blast to hunt.

I am about to move to Texas and my dad's ranch (which will be about 45 minutes away) is covered with them so I plan to start hunting them real soon.

I have been wondering if they put out much a blood trail because of all the fat (I know that if you shoot them with a rifle they do not bleed much - the fat covers the wound). For those of you who have done it - how hard are they to track?
