But for a person that is asking advise on a first hunt, I would rather them be safe than sorry. border="0" /></p>
fisherpal,
I agree with you 100%
When it comes to a hog that has been riled up by dogs or a chase!!
I have killed the most of mine on slip hunts, caught many with dogs, never killed a wild hog with a big gun!!Most of the hogs I have killed have been in the Saline River bottoms in Arkansas, have killed one a year here in Georgia, and I have to say, the wild hogs in Northwest Georgia aint real big or mean from my past experiences!
Here is a copy paste of "part" of my advice to smokin on hunting hogs!!
==========================================================================
Cold weather is the secret to finding wild hog sign in the woods, the colder it gets, the more they feed.
The best trick in the book to find hogs is......"slippin covers"
On a cold night, hogs will bed up in groups of 10-20. The hogs on the outside of the group will get cold, and try to move to the center of the bed..........they will fight over the warm spots in the middle, you can hear this for miles!!!
Get out very early on a cold morning, listen, you will hear them!!!
