Yeah, I've read a little bit about them. I just don't have any actual experience. I thought if I ever got the chance I would find them, then get up in a tree before taking the first shot. That way I would be out of the way for scattering or charging and might still be able to get 1-5 more depending on the craziness and direction of scatter.Lynyrd wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 4:39 pmHogs are primarily nocturnal feeders. You can see them out foraging in the daylight on occasion, but the weather has to be just to their liking. A hog cannot sweat anywhere but the end of its nose, and they overheat easily. This makes them move at night, or in cloudy rainy weather. That being said, you can certainly hunt them from a tree stand but they are going to need a reason to come where you are.C-dub wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 1:04 pm I have not hunted hogs yet, but have considered this scenario often if I ever get to.

How do some of you experienced hog hunters think something like that might work?
