Hey yall, I'm rather new to hunting, and have never gone boar hunting. However my parents just purchased a farm in south carolina and over my spring break i made plans with a local farmer to hog hunt on his property. Well, honestly i have no clue how to hunt these things besides bring some firepower because the bastards are mean. Just anything you guys could post to help me out, as to use a treestand, stalk or just wait on the ground. Where to go and what time to go out. Anything, thanks yall.

depends on how often they roam and if where your going to hunt is occupied by them often. I would look for turned up grounds (looks like a trakor with a disc had been threw) or trees that have been rubed on, or even a nice ground wallow. (they use these thing to keep bugs off). Would set out some corn with a little something ectra to pull them in, like old catfish cheese or strawberry koolaide powder. The big one roam at night so if you want a big boar you will have to have the nerve to stick it out in the dark with them =). I would suggest a good light/Qbeam, a rifle you are comfortable with and can aquire your target and fire fast with, and a good sidearm/knife for just in case.

Try looking for wallows and then go back the next day between 12 and 3-4pm and try and catch them cooling down if that doesn’t work don’t worry I find that they like to lay doggo within 50m of the water usually under a bush in the shade.
One of the best tricks is to slowly stalk around there feeding grounds of an afternoon just walk very quite and stop very often and listen for the contented grunting of feeding pigs.
One point to remember is that pigs can only see 50m tops and about 30m with any clarity bet there sense of smell is outstanding. Don’t worry so much about cover but take frequent note of the wind and try both a scent eliminating spray and a cover scent, as it works well for me. I usually shoot pigs at 15-20m without them even knowing that I’m around.

They hit the high points. If you can bait, find where they are rooting and dig some holes with post hole diggers, as deep as you can. Fill the holes half full of corn, then pour some strawberry Jello ontop of the corn. Top off the hole with corn. Give it a night or two and they will find it. They will root at the holes for about a week. Make sure it is in an area where the farmers will not mind a big hole, because they will dig a trench about 4 feet deep and 6 feet long.
