First be darn sure you have enough gun. Nothing worse than having a little squirt gun when you need something with kick, is there? Think bear when ferral hog hunting East Texas. It's a dangerous sport. That's because older boars have thick hide. At the minimum you want a .243 to properly penetrate those thick plates that protect their vitals. Since you don't want to be on the receiving end of a riled up hog rushing you and not enough gun to get him before he gets you. |
In open country, spot-and-stalk hunting is the preferred method. Pay attention to the wind if you have any hope of ambushing your quarry. You're looking to intercept them. If spotted freeze. Acute vision isn't their strong suit. Good memories aren't either apprarently. As they'll often calm down and go about their business after a few minutes.
While stands over bait works good in the woods.
Yes you're apt to find hogs most anywhere, they generally prefer to bed down in thick cover.and stick close to water.
Want a final rule of thumb passed along by a veteran of wild hog hunting East Texas? Pick a tree before you pick your target. From there the adrenaline rush most hunters are looking for can safely take care of itself.
