Hog hunts

Types of Hunts

  • Thermal Hunts

    Unlike optical scopes, thermal sights don't rely on visible light, allowing them to function in complete darkness. The sight's ability to see unaided even in complete darkness allows the hunter to be undetected and aware of potential prey, facilitating a quick and precise take down.

  • Hunting with Dogs

    Once the open trailing dogs or silent dogs have a pig at bay, the catch dog is released to move in and hold the hog — usually by the ear — until the hunters can arrive and dispatch the animal.

  • Walk n stalk

    Spot and stalk hunting is easily the most rigorous and demanding form of hunting. A hunter can locate his prey at a distance before stalking into effective killing distance without alarming the animal.

  • stand / blind

    Tree stands or blinds are open or enclosed platforms used by hunters. The platforms are secured to trees in order to elevate the hunter and give them a better vantage point. The blinds are usually on the ground surrounded by brush.
