i try not to get into thick cover during new moon, i creep slow (walker game ear) and crouch down glassing evey few yards, i do not shoot at sound but if you here teeth poping that hog is zeroed in that is where you point the rifle. always ready to jump into the air, or step aside. take your foot and russle leaves witch are always present in thick cover. some times i give big exhale threw the nose,like a deer snort, that freezes actitivy, then you need to play the waiting game, i have set for hours, if ya go hunting you have to have the equ. to stay hunting. i have been almost 3 years of nights hunting. i cant help it . 5 hours is the most time i set while getting circled every hour by a alfa hog. that kill is a nother story about hunting alone.there is on telling what happens next, my motto is always watch for the rest of them...n get on em. cougars give me the thought, have seen them twice and heard them two more times. didnt get a shot, and if i see big foot will kill it too.

Hogmap link is fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.

You ever get in the middle of the hogs and 6 or 8 of them start giving that deep warning grunt at the same time in the brush. It is nearly impossible to tell exactly which direction it is coming from. It's a confusion tactic that works pretty well. I've run around in circles before trying to pinpoint where it is coming from.

hog map trouble? i cant get to it. but if i hunted like i operate this lap top i would still be looking for the first one. for give me for getting snotty but there are so many hits on the map, the last time i looked at it and no threads here,if it true it bothers me people want to better them selves but dont want to help other folks. iff u cnt spllll jst sssaaaawnd r o-t pee-pill kan fffig-r it o-t. what in the cornbread hell is going on. it has been getting hot out there yall dog runners must be in my world now- going at night. i have used gen-1 nite vision just a few months back steped to gen-2. my 308 has been bothering my shoulder, 2600 fps 180 grs. 20 semi auto at a time,but did make alot of dead hogs my record is 6 in seconds "i ended up between them and where they came out" it is a nice trick i like to use now. i have got another rifle now. 6.8 (spc) i have made alot of dead hogs, but have not went hand to hoof yet. 2400 fps 110 grs 26 semi-auto at a time. i have been mostly self taught, 8years ago laying on the ground in a tent shooting at baited hogs 120 yards away . my first lesson learned was that the hogs track you, as one flanked me 5 feet away, sure glad i didnt have to piss. and laying on the ground was out, along with the single shot 300 win mag and the 4570 encores, sold 8 guns to buy 2,ar-10 with sure fire m3t 2 by 20 acog. ar15 with 6 volt turbohead, acog reflex 2. so far i have been good at pushing my luck, but i have seen that hogs smell fear first hand, and them persons dont go any more.

If Everyone

If everyone one of us just invited 3 people to this site---we would grow in leaps and bounds. I own a trapping forum and moderator 3 other forums that grew with this strategy. Think we all can do that?

Every time on the net i ask a quesion about hog hunting every one starts arguing about there way being better than everyone else. it is more of a argument than discusion. i hope this board turns out different cause it is hard to learn when every one is spoutin off.

Re: what ever

2008-06-08T19:05:59Z

Great post cocamo! Like you said, we need to share resources, ideas and methods. Even after countless hunts, every time I go out hunting or talk to another hunter I learn something new. Hunting hogs is a constant learning experience and just when you think you figured them out, they change. I am really looking forward to getting the Hog stories section going. One day we will have stories and methods from all over the world to enjoy and learn from.

This forum is brand new, so it should get going soon.

what ever

2008-06-08T14:46:42Z

HEY FOLKS, I would have figured that this forum would be full. But i guess us hog men have a tude that mine is better than yours. it would be in best intrest to join together. i have joined with neighboring hog men with more land to hunt more chances to go .on the other hand ,fellow hog men have got me thrown off land, ...people need to think that talking smack to land owners ,it spreads and turns on them .we are all artist in our approach to hog removal,i like the ideal that there are so many differant tactics, from land spot to spot. we all know that the survivers just got schooled.i think the hogstoppers are cool for building this web site. open for all hog men.after all making dead hogs is what it is about. be carefull out there "always watch for the next one...en get on um"cocamo-903.

International Shipping & hog stories

2008-06-08T06:07:54Z

We will try if possible to accommodate those in other countries wanting bumper stickers. However it does cost more to ship to other countries. Please submit a wild hog story to info@hogstoppers.com for free shipping to most countries. Most hog hunts are interesting even if you don't get any hogs. We want to create a reading place where hunters and trappers can learn from each other by reading others entertaining stories. If you are from the U.S. feel free to submit us a story too. People will like it more than you might realize.

Confirmation of order

2008-05-22T09:10:25Z

If you don't receive an email within a week from me confirming that I have sent the sticker out, shoot me an email to make sure I got the order. I have had a much larger response than anticipated, so I am doing good to try and keep up.

Where's my sticker?

2008-05-15T20:28:07Z

I have received several orders without address info. If you haven't received your sticker after 10 days, check with us and we will see if we got your order and shipped it.

Bumper sticker update

2008-05-11T20:36:08Z

Thanks to everyone that has ordered a free bumper sticker so far. I think it is great to be able to offer a deal where both parties win. It turns out that the "got hogs" is very visible from the back of the car, but the small www.hogstoppers.com is not visible until you walk up close. Oh well.

We are sometimes on jobs for 2 or 3 days with no internet or phone. So if you order one or send an email, we might be a little delayed in replying or mailing them. I would say that you should expect them in 4 to 10 days though.

So far they have been mailed out to several states including Florida and Hawaii. Recently we sent a few to Australia. All three places have feral pig problems and lots of hog hunters and trappers.

Thanks again,

Darrell

Since each hunting situation is different, there is not one gun best for all hog hunting. However some calibers will cover far more situations than others. For still hunting I have used a 25-06 and a 30-06 with equally good results. Larger calibers aren't mandatory but give you a larger margin of error as far as shot placement goes. I have cleanly killed many hogs with a well placed .204 shot. But when it comes to intense situations, it is nice to have something larger with more shock value. Equally as important to caliber though, is being comfortable with the gun and having the confidence that you can place the shot where you want when the time comes.
