Hogs: Treestand or Blind?

Hogs: Treestand or Blind?
This weekend we found a lot of hog sign out where I hunt and I've read that hogs wallow a couple of times during the day when it's warmer but there weren't any good trees to setup a tree stand near some of these spots. Is hunting hogs out of a pop-up blind, near some wallow spots out of the question?
I will be hunting with a compound bow.
Thanks!

Look for the rubbing poles and setup a little away from them down the line. Ground blinds are fine if the wind is right, but you can use a strong attractant or cover scent to help out too. A sidearm is never a bad idea, but they usually don't charge blinds.

RE: Hogs: Treestand or Blind?
All of the above. All depends on conditions. I also like to stalk them. Ive taken more with my bows stalking than blind hunting. I will use groundblinds and tree stands also. I live in North West Texas so we dont have many trees, so lots of times im on the ground in tall grass, or behind a pile of tumble weeds. Dont limit yourself, use what is best for the area you are in.

I said I never took one from stand, but forgot the time I took a 360 pounder while sitting on a branch in an Oak Tree close to to a fresh wallow at Winter Haven, Fl in 1970.
