i need all the advise, tips, and tricks that any of you want to give away. me and my buddies are thinking about starting to hunt at night. the only hog hunting that i have done at night was when one of my coon dogs would trash on hogs. what are the advantages of hunting at night other than cooler weather do the hogs bay up easier. any advise will be appreciated.

In central Texas the coolest part of the day during the summer is the first 3 hours of the morning. I dont like to hunt at night, have done it less then 3 times the past year.

I hunt alot at night. Usually during deer and turkey season and heat of summer. Caught more bigger hogs at night than the day. Seems like they bay up better at night to me but I have got on some runners at night too.

I hunt at night alot due to work and the heat is way to hot in the daylight. I have caught alot more hogs that would tend to run in the daylight at night. Some down falls as well dogs may not range as far or stick as much i have even seen dogs that flat wont hunt at night. It takes a experienced dog alot of times at night because they are going strictly off of there nose.

I hate hunting hogs at night,.....I reckon God made dark for a reason,....so you could sleep. Just my opinion..... You can sleep when you get back to the nursing home!!!  We hunt alot at night, especially in the summer... I prefer to hunt daytime because I like to see whats going on, but we catch just as many hogs at night as we do during the day if not more.. Just make sure you mark the truck, and knowing the area your hunting helps a whole lot.. I think walking into a bay at night gets your adrenaline pumping more because you cant see what kind of hog your running up to, where hes facing, and where hes going if he breaks... Always carry a good light with extra batteries.. A big hog coming at you when you cant see him or a tree to climb gets a little skeery at times... |

My recomendation is to get one of those lights that clip onto the bill of your hat. It helps to avoid tripping on down trees but mostly when your hat gets ripped off your head by a branch or whatever you can find it Running to a hog one night I tripped over a log and my hat came off. When I looked the light was shining on someone else's hat. They needed a light on it. I prefer a light that is not white so I can see what is outside the light. I also paint any gear I want to find that neon orange. So I can find it in the dark. Try finding something black in the dirt at night. With a black light flashlight you can find it fast Wear thick clothes because you will run into stuff and not see the thorns. That is all I can think of now. |

Good light on your head and 2 more with extra batteries in your pack. Like others have said mark the truck. Garmin helps.
