Which do y'all prefer? I know we usually end up going at night and trying to catch the hogs bedded up but I think it makes it harder on both us and the dogs. The pigs use the creek bottoms and the thick cedar brush to hide very well in the dark and we have had some pretty good dogs get real confused. We have also ran into the issue of having several hogs come back on us but we couldn't see them hardly. The only problem is we are pretty sure that during the day the pigs cross to the neighbor's land so we can't get to them.

I would rather hunt in the day so I can watch dogs better. Only reason I hunt at night is due to heat.

Pigs are up feeding tonight. I'm a firm believe I'm certain properties hold hogs at night, some hold during day. At least small acreage wise which is all we have down here. Now them 4-5-6,000 places don't really matter when you hunt long as you've done your scouting and are in the right corner. I have a lot of places that hogs bed, but do not feed so morning hunts there and we catch hogs. I'm fixing to pull up to a new spot, I don't think the hogs are bedding on it but they are damn sure feeding there so hopefully tonight I'll catch em up on their feet and my dogs can spin a few long enough for me to slip them a bulldog

Dogs find the pigs by two ways sight and smell. Dogs see pretty good at night. I have a Garmin and a flash light makes no difference to me

Day night don't matter to me but I work a lot trying to feed all these kids so my free time is usually at night after the house has settled down.I have heard of dogs that aren't accustom to huntin at night and have troubles though.

...ain't ever heard of that approach... Sounds bit crazy to me?!? When we hunt nights we do it just like day here, keep close enough to pick em up on garmin and be johnny on spot when they bay. but me and my partners rarely hunt nights now days...guess we gern old but i hate hunting nights...I just wouldn't be able to sleep after turning dogs out Cept the occasional shut eye upright on the 4wheeler. Lol |

I'm not 100% sure that dark vs light would matter much for the dogs, but it is so thick and the visibility is so limited anyway that it being dark couldn't really help things. These pigs are pretty smart and circle over and over again through the creek bottoms and then back into thick cedar just long enough to have the dogs confused. They don't seem to have any desire to stop and fight even with the rougher curs biting at them. Also they always come up on groups and while they try and figure out which one to focus on the bay almost always breaks. But I was just curious if people find it easier to hunt during the day and if they have noticed anything about the success rates of different times of day/night. |

hunt some in day time, but prefer nights in my country. Safer for the dogs, harder for the trigger happy gunslingers to see them if they happen to get off our properties.

I don't see how hunting at 9 am makes the dogs better class just means you woke up late lol. In general hogs bed in the morning and tend to stay put in my experience. So if a dog picks up a track they should run right to his bed. If the hogs are up and moving at night the dogs seem to cross paths more often so I don't see how it's a better class of dog that hunts at 9 am. That's why they bay easy in the day time lol

Uhhh....catch em slipping...ill prepared...in their bed, resting on their laurels ...kinda like a home invader....would in ham terms.
Guess like baiv mentioned you first got have a dig to track em
There tho...
Yeah easier to bump em moving at night but they also already up in their toes.
Besides...I human and so are my kids and we diurnal and don't like to suffer much lol

During typical winter months here in AR hogs move good in the day time. During summer months they move more at night. Don't be fooled to think they don't move in the day even during the hottest months. If you have enough water they will move just not as often or as far. I hunted more at night prior to my 4yr old starting to join me and we caught pigs. With her going day time is just more conducive to a good hunt all the way around. We still catch plenty in the winter and during summer it's kinda hit and mis. Either way what works for you works for you. Just have fun and let them dogs run.

Out here we catch more large boars at night, and in the summer you catch more hogs in general at night, but you can only hunt here legally at nite if you are depredating
