My wife and I have taken a bunch of hogs spot and stalk. It's fun for sure. Those traditional guys have us trumped though, they take it to a whole new level. These hogs were stalked.

That's how I bowhunt for the most part. I've had 1 chance at some hogs while slipping up a creek bottom @ Pine Log.

I got to this spot along the creek where the mtn laurl was so thick I couldn't draw. Sure enough, I see 3 hogs making their way up the creek bottom towards me. It's pretty tight where I am at, so I get the great idea of backing off 20 yrds or so to where I can cross the creek. I get on the other side and wait for the pigs to come by, should have a perfect broadside.

Well, they got to the point where I had been, smelled me, and all I heard was a snort and *poof* they were gone. That's as close as I've gotten. Gotten closer with deer, but still haven't sealed the deal.

It's tough and humbling. But INTENSE!

Got to play the wind and use what cover you have to get as close as you need for a shot. Low and tight behind the front leg elbow or just above it. Broadside or quartering away. Just go by yourself and have fun. Long bow kills and up close shots. Mike

Rainy or windy days are best. Also April May and June have been good months for me stalking. I just wish I could video and stalk hunt at the same time.

Showoff

never hunted d13. i like to stay in the E and B areas but will occasionally venture to the F areas. Hogs are all over.

I could be tempted to go hog hunting with a bow. Just no where to go

 

[dm/wolfskin]

Martin, you seem to be doing pretty good at getting close. I ain't killed one so far this year up here but I have run into a few but only in range for a gun. Mike

I used to do that in my younger years. It was fun.

is there a process you have to go through before hunting stewart, or do you just go and sign in or somethin?

You have to go by the Pass and Permit Office to buy a permit.

also make sure you have a hunter ed card. the rest is just over the counter type stuff. it gets quite expensive unless your military. But I pay like 110 a year for liscenses, thats small game and big game and fishing, fort stewart permits for me and my wife both combined. so its not too bad. I think a annual hunting pass for sort stewart for a civilian is like 55 a year or something but I could be wrong.
