Crazy left coast laws for sure...

But over here the biggest boar I've ever been in on catching were trailed in the day to their bed or just caught slipping round a wallow.

Not to say I haven't seen good ones caught at night as well just not the biggest I've been on.

Been privy to seeing few cut down pretty bad at night as well and come up empty and spent many long nights listening to races too...

If I'm gonna listens to a race I'd rather it be daytime and I can watch me and my partners kids play and have fun and make memories any day over all us tryn stay up all night and screwing up the wknd sleeping next day away...my wknds too short for that. But that's just me and my preference. To each his own.

I would like to say though as well. If we get off the property (alot of times it happens, and even close to residences where other good property owners live. I'd rather run into them or knock on their doors during the day and meet em than keep em up at night dogs barking or bikes running back n fourth down roads or be caught slipping thru their land or on camera at night...just leaves a bad taste in their mouths for hog hunters in lot cases. Much worse than fathers with their young uns out having fun in broad daylight lookin to shake hands. Round here building a report with a bunch of land owners And putn smaller tracks together inti larger tracks is a real key to having good spots...

But every place ain't like that for sure and some we could get away with running all night rough shot and not bother a soul.

Funny you talk about races at night. Had my lady gyp go 1.01 mile and fall bayed on a whole sounder. Eased in to 500 yards and sent dozer and a 5 month old pup Pancho. Dozer takes his own track right off the fourwheeler and never goes to lady. Pancho goes to her and they hammer away. Get to 80 yards from them, send my bulldog and he runs in to a pig at 40 yards, catch dog got thrown and pigs scattered. All 3 dogs ran their own pig and all got outran after an hour. Lol usually during the day we get those runners to spin and bay up

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

Don't get your feathers ruffled it was a joke.

Different strokes for different folks. I like a hard hunting track dog deluxe, anything else is a help dog to me.

If your ranch holds hogs at night then you hunt at night. Otherwise you will never catch anything same for the day time if your ranch holds hogs during the day that's when you hunt. Over here everyone complains about hogs but won't let you hunt it's hard to get ground so we take what we can get. Personally I don't care day or night as long as I am running dogs and slaying hogs.

I hunt both day and night but hunt completely different both ways. I have two packs of dogs. One pack is daylight only dogs and my other pack only goes at night. When I daylight hunt I go right at sunrise and look for the biggest track to turn out on. I do cast them on no sign sometimes but I try to put them on the track I want to catch most of the time. At night I run night vision and have a few Greyhound Pit Crosses that I use. I check peanut, wheat, cut corn fields, and pecan orchards with night vision and when I see a hog or group of hogs I’ll walk the dogs downwind within 40-75 yards depending on the conditions and then send them to the hog and usually have him caught before he makes it out of the field.

id 100-1 rather hunt in daylight, but to each man his own.

Went Solo last night, not the first time I've done it solo but first time I got in pigs at night solo. Not gonna lie I spent about 2 minutes after the bulldog hit trying to decided whether I wanted to climb a tree or walk in there and handle that hog. I nutted up. Walked in there and it was 120 lb 3 legged sow and I felt like a little girl lol if I'm going by myself, day time is better but I think I'll warm up to the night thing

I personally much prefer to hunt during the day, just makes everything easier and more enjoyable (for me at least). This time of year I don't get in a hurry to get to the woods at the crack of dawn, I will load up dogs around 7 or 8 and ease out to the lease and hunt a few hours, then head home and I still have the afternoon to mess around the house and do whatever it is that needs to be done without being dead ass tired.

We hunt at night once things heat up and I don't mind it either BUT like others have said I also hate sleeping the day away on the weekend.....screws the whole weekend up.

I can't say that I have noticed a distinct difference in the size of hogs that we catch during the day vs during the night nor have I noticed a difference in the length of the race......... i'm a believer of the line of thinking that some hogs just flat out like to run and it doesn't matter if it is 2 in the a.m. or 2 in the p.m., if he wants to run he is gonna do everything he can to run and thats just part of the game we all love.

I hunt at night more of necessity than preference. I work 10-12 hr days 6 and 7 days a week so I only have time to hunt at night. I would prefer days but nights don't bother me at all.

I have heard guys say they never hunt at night.   Well they either don't hunt much or are on welfare.     If a working man wants to.keep his dogs in the woods then often times its night hunting.

I prefer the night but day time is nice. Ya oconee I don't see how a fell works 6 days a week which is bout the standard these days and not hunt at night
