Night vs Day

[Jasonmac]

What are some pros and cons in hunting night vs day? I cant seem to make myself go hog hunting at night.

night) no work
        less chance of running into day hunters
        no sun
        and my dogs seem to hunt better

[Jasonmac]

It seems like it would be much harder at night. You cant see what your doing.

I hunt both about equally... I prefer hunting in the daylight. I enjoy seeing the dogs work and see everything that goes on. You miss a lot of that at night.

Im the same as mike i hunt both equally but i do think that if your hunting a pup you should take it during the day so it can see what its doing and so you can see what its doin i also think it gives it a little more confidence to the dog. Just my theory. and one thing about hunting in the night is you can do it and you have less chance of runnin into deer hunters.

i hunt both just about equally... more at night during the summer.

hogs are calmer at night.

alot cooler in the summer at night.

more dangerous at night.

its easier to get lost at night.

Cactus are a lot harder to see at night.  Its been my experience that daytime hogs are more likely to run toward thick brush when the dogs are after them because they have been out feeding all night and are ready for the comfort of bed and protection of the brush.  During the night the hogs are hungry and are ready to eat therefore no rush to get back to the brush and stay out in the open and fight which makes getting to them easier.

DAY    I was locked in a closet as a kid and i am scared of the dark J/K But i like to see the dogs work and other things

I like to hunt during the day so I can watch my dogs work but here lately it seems like the only time I go hunt is after dark.  The pigs are moving more and the fact that I don't get off work during the week till after the sun goes down cuts out most of my day hunts now.

  My first thought when I read this was that if your scared of the dark maybe you should take up sewing. You might poke your finger from time to time, but I hear its pretty safe overall. 
   Sorry I couldn't help it.

 Seriously though. I hunt both pretty equally and I like both equally.

Daytime during the winter, since they're in the thick stuff anyway since there is no fields planted

Nighttime during the summer cuz the farmers say KILL'EM ALL!!!!!!!!!

... fall twice as much at night...

" late at nite all honest people are in bed "       j/k

     and im also kinda lazy!
