Most of my hunts are on public land in Texas were the pigs are very educated and pressured.  So spot and stalk is usually trying to get in front of them so they’ll run past you.  Need to find someone closer that has a hog problem I can help with and not pay couple $100 per day to hunt vermin.

Good luck.  I hope you find a place.  I don't really think that your hogs don't duck.  I think it is just so fast that you don't notice it.

The Ranch Fairy has videos discussing how much Hogs turn and duck at the shot, pretty cool. I'm going to North Texas in a few weeks to hunt them for the first time. I'm looking forward to it.

Good Luck, Robert.  I hope that you have great success.  If I were to give you advice, it would be to not overthink the hog ducking or moving thing. Aim for you spot and let the chips fall where they may.

Possibly, @95% of my shot opportunities are at moving/trotting/running pigs.  We joke that Granger hogs sleep at a slow trot.  Pressure is daily.  They have learned that if they’re not moving it’s bad for them.  They bed in some of the thickest briars, come out with after burners.  We also “shoot ‘em in the lips” that is a good lead.

On another note, even though there wasn't much fat on this one, Supper was pretty good tonight.
