Hogs in daylight?

[Flbowhunter]

We have some property in north Florida that I know we have some pigs on because I've seen them on camera, but I can't seem to catch them in the daylight. Does anyone have any tips on finding them in the day?

[DanielB89]

Yes. Go find them.  Literally my favorite hunting.  I don't know the water situation there, but they'll likely be in the thickets area there is Thats near water.

Yeah you've gotta find their bedding areas.  Play the wind and spot and stalk.

Yeah I know where they're bedding, but it's back in the thickest nastiest stuff on the property, and they only seem to be coming out of it around 9:30.

Sounds like where I mostly hunt, can't crawl through it let alone stalk anything through it!! Briars and brambles.

You have to get them moving out of their comfort zone.

Trail cameras are sometimes a serious detriment to hunters....and dull the hunters edge.

Quit worrying about the cameras and go hunting.

Last year Smokin Joe and I we on a hunt and were  Told that hunting in the morning was a waste of time...... That the animals weren't moving until after 3:30 in the afternoon based on "cameras'....

The next  3 days Joe and I were chasing mid morning.....then again on day 5.  The 1st morning the guide actually drove up and busted my stalk....

Technology offers false hope-false info-false faith and missdirected confusion and loss of woodsmanship.

Hunt them at night.  We do spot and stalk night hunts and are HIGHLY successful.  Using green bow lights we can stalk to within 5-10 yards.  It is crazy fun and the number of hogs you encounter is amazing. 

[Terry Green]

Yep....we hunt them at night also....Like Jerry said its a blast.  Its amazing what you can get away with using a green light. We will be doing a lot of that in TX next month....But well be chasing them at daylight till lunch as well.....just not at feeders where the cameras are.

Pushing them out of the brier patches at Granger, better with at least two hunters, one to post up on exit side.  They bust out with after burners on.

We hunt them at night as well but if you're in Texas you better have your snake boots/ chaps on.  It gets pretty sporty when you hear that buzz by your foot in the dark.[emoji846]

I just want to make sure everyone knows I was not slamming anyone for using trail cameras..... Just don't let them take the place of your brain.

Nothing replaces good old boots on the ground for figuring things out.

Boots on the ground a little pair of pruning snips for making a hole tough those briars, palmettos and thorn bushes while sneaking

I didn't think you were Mr. Terry, I had found a trail with a lot of sign and hunted it 7 or 8 days before I set out cams just to see when they were coming out

You bet!

I hear about thick stuff and folks don't realise....that's were I kill most of my stalked hogs.  Most hunters say it's too thick....I say not....yah gotta get in there with them.

Here is a typical environment where I stalk......
