My bud and I usually get into the woods early afternoon and wait for things to settle. We try to be near well established pig trails for their pre-dusk movements. In some areas you canalmost set your watch to when you'll hear the first squeals and grunts.

Since scent discipline is hard to maintain in a tropical forest/jungle, the wind is key. We check itA LOT, and often we come out of the woods withtalcum powder or corn starch sprinkled on hour boots fromour "whiffer" bottles.

This was me & son-in-law last June. We are heading out for Oklahoma again the 7th for a few days of Pig Bowhunting again. Beats just waiting for something to open up.

When is it not summer here in Texas? I just stay by the water source and wait for them, usually during night.

Well, the Porkapaloza is over & 8 Bowhunters dropped hogs of every size. I will post pics later. I had to leave early due to family member illness but 8 Bowhunters took (I think) 18 hogs.

We hunt all year round on my ranch. Summer is hard on the hogs and the hunters, but we hunt mostly early and late, and set in the shade or a/c during the middle of the day. This year we have got a lot of rain and there is water in the creeks and all the ponds right now, so the hogs are in real good shape.

I continue to bowhunt through the summer so I have to really pay attention to the wind and scent control measures.

Ain't that the truth. I don't remember getting more rain than this ever! We (Greg, Russ, and I ) physically fought the mud to get to hunt last night. Woke up this morning and rain still hammering us. Good thing is, we had been under drought conditions, now we are suffering from mosquito bites.
