If you get into it its damn near $$$$ as cars, and pretty simular.. Both will leave you broke, pissed off, and possible swamp ass in the summer.. yet..

i dont mind the waiting its just the sweating your ass off in a blind that gets me but i deal with it cause its part of it lol. i think i would like winter hunting more! yea i can already tell its money lol i dont think ill do it alot. probly more of getting away like u said every now and then.

I was shocked when I saw this thread. Bow hunting is my other passion. Any of you guys bow hunt?
Just curious.
Hunting comsumes all of my time from August to February. We have a ranch that is 99% all archery.

Nice thread! After going twice for hogs with rifles and coming up empty handed I finally went out with dogs with a couple guys north of DFW in Greenville. Took down 11 hogs in under 5 hours. Great hunt, will go again when it cools back down... The first one of the day was 300+ lbs and the dogs bayed him up in water it got intense. A Pitbull was the catch dog and he was a beast.

lmfao @ the 3rd picture.. guy in the middle has the knife and is in oh shit mode, with the guy taking the picture.. haha I've never gotten an op. to hunt behind dogs but I hear its blast! and looks you had fun.

It's interesting how smart hogs really are, yet dumb as shit.. I have GC pics of them hitting feeders at the same time every day for a month, until I sit and wait.. Could be the W tx swamp ass but w/e.. Yet every now and then just driving around out there being loud as fuck you will roll right up to them..

I would LOVE to get into archery. I think that would be fun. I don't care about "hunting". Sitting around a feeder waiting for something to stop by is not hunting nor a sport. lol.

Not everyone does that foo. I shot three deer last year and none of them were at feeders.

Just think of it like going to a strip club, lol. Really though either way you're hunting over a necessity be it trail, water, natural food source. At least in 99.9% of texas lease's. Now if you go to like Montana or w/e that a little different..

I don't mind the feeders still a bait and wait so it makes sense while some may not like it, but you give yourself standards of what you're looking for ie. old 8+ buck and so fourth "not just dropping the first thing to come in". It's the places that are 100-200acres with high fence.. That's what trips me out..

If you do get into archery get ready to be addicted and drop some coin!

I love me some feral hog hunting. I shot this guy at night eating acorns off of my friends back porch at ~60 yards with my Sig556R w/Pulsar N550 night vision. Popped him and he ran maybe 30 feet.

If you're not sure of the kill zone on a hog this is by far the best video to show you where to shoot them.

I picked up a bow last year and live by Cinnamon creek ranch so yea I dropped the equivalent of a set of wheels and tires on a Hoyt and all the goodies lol I'm really looking forward to Bow season this year

If you ever want to try shooting a bow let me know, I do have one. I will be hog hunting in a few weeks. Hopefully I get to post up a few pics
