Thanks Terry-
Glad you enjoy my breading mix. You need to fry some hog and turkey with it too! If anyone would like to get their hands on my breading mix, they can look up my personal information on Trad Gang to locate my website.

Thanks again Terry, Clay

Say, Terry...

Thats a handsome buffalo pedastal mount!

Think I will order some of that stuff to try, Clay. I bet it will be great on turkey breast fingers!

A friend just sent me this illustration of hog anatomy and I thought it was pretty neat. Looks like the visual top of the leg is the place to shoot to get the top of the heart and both lungs under the scapula...assuming it it accurate..

That's a really good illustration Beachbowhunter, if I am broadside to a pig I always feel that the heart shot is not on unless the leg is foward. 90% of my shots on pigs are quatering away...Glenn...

That's a great pic!!  I just sent it to my pig rookie partners for an upcoming hunt.  The worst thing you can hear from a partner is "I think it was a little back"  when hunting pigs.

Thanks!

Yea Mike, I've heard that way too many times. The other saying is "I swear, I hit him perfect".... That also translates to, "the shot was a bit far back".. LOL!

Shoot them quartering away or break that danged shoulder bone!!! CK

I mentioned in one of my posts on this thread about hog "beds". Just found a photo of one with my recurve sitting next to it for perspective..the recurve is a 60 inch bow...

Here's a pic of a tree the hogs evidently love to rub in one of the areas I hog hunt. This particular tree is in a low spot in a dike that separates a swamp from the hardwoods. I kept planning to come back and sit on this spot but never did as I was having to much fun chasing the hogs...

LOL! I was just thinking about this thread the last few days. Almost a year has past since this thread and I've learned so much new stuff in that years time. Hogs are so much fun and not very easy to gather data on. Just last night I got 133 pics of hogs on trailcam.  I watched a mud hole last week until some pigs showed up and started running and playing like little kids in the water and mud. Trying some new scents, baits, vocalizations. I now have several wild hogs as pets and it's helped very much in understanding their speech and what and when they use certain vocalizations. Cool animals! Lots of fun to study. So, who has something we should talk about? CK

Just read this though, much to masticate on.  Interesting about the artificial lights.  It has been my experience that green works better, perhaps because it more closely simulates moon light.  Those dusk activated sidewalk lighting thingies work great strapped to feeder legs.  Blue may be a strong contender.  As for color, I hunt Granger WMA in TX allot and hunter orange is required when hunting there, even with bow.  My fletching is 5" orange/barred orange, and I have a camo orange vest on.  The pressure at Granger is heavy, being so close to Austin, so the pigs wear Nikes and are always running.  We joke that they sleep at 5 m.p.h.  San Gabriel river runs right through the middle and there are a couple ponds, so water is not an issue.  Baiting is ineffective since there is so much pressure from daily hunting.  Plus, night hunting is not permitted.  I would have to agree that motion is the most critical thing to avoid when close to hogs.  Hope to kayak in next week and perhaps hit some of the less visited spots to get a poke at a piggy or two.  The thickest nastiest spot are the places the hogs are, until pushed out.  Briar patches are good hiding spots, and daytime resting areas.  Stalk them with a good pair of binos and then be ready to rumble.  It is wing shooting for pigs, shoot 'em in the lips!!!
