ok,.... pig sticker is a knife right... ok... stupid question here maybe... when your using knives to take them... are you jumping on them and going for the throat or stab throught the ribcage to the vitals? or maybe another target?

can;t speak for everyone. but once the dogs catch we flip the hog then stick him in the side right behind shoulder but low. i prefer atleast an 8 in. blade. if we need a hog for the pens we hobble and bring in alive

RE: How do you hunt wild pigs?
All depends on situation. I spot and stalk, set in a tree, or will set in a field and listen for them then stalk. I primarily use a recurve bow or a compound. But im not apposed, by any means, to set up on a hill with a thunderstick and shot them from far off.

On large tracts of public land I like to walk and I walk a lot. Once I covered 16 miles in a day. I walk miles at various speeds upwind. If there's lots of fresh sign, I walk very very very slow. If there's not, I tend to walk fast. Half the time, I spook the pig and snap shot it on the run or pop it when it's wondering what that is making so much noise. The other half, I walk a little and listen, walk a little more and listen, hear something, and stalk it.We also do a lot of dog and knife hunting. I use to bowhunt plenty, but now I prefer my shotgun. It's nothing to do with preference, it's just that the areas I'm usually in is open to firearms and I don'tfeel likebowhunting with an orange vest on.
