I hunt central Louisiana for hogs with both rifle and bow, On several occasions I’ve had sows absolutely charge with mayhem on their minds. Got run over a couple times by sounders. I just froze the first time and luckily they just brushed my legs. The second time i cut loose on them with my squirrel rifle. On a few occasions sow wouldn’t let me get down out of the tree at dark. Funny thing is i find that boars just grunt and runaway. You just cant assume anything. One duck hunter had has daughter run a tree by a few sows with pigs and had to shoot them multiple times to get them away. I hear that Arkansas razor backs are not to be trifled with. Maybe Texas hogs had a different daddy!!!!!

[@jacksonwebb6389]

KC I have to argue about them not being aggressive, I've been charged 3 times by them. They were either wounded or I surprised them within 10 yards so usually they will run.

My grampa's neighbor in texas went hog hunting at night with a thermal ar he shot into a big group of hogs and they stared charging him he emptied his mag and pistol and they pushed him off a cliff into a river. Thats how the story was told to me anyway he also killed a werewolf with a silver bullet while it was murdering a hog sooo......

[@eddiefirst9410]

You guys are very detailed and spot on in explanation on how to. Great job on that! Also and finally someone that is truthful on how dangerous hogs really arent!

[@vzeitler]

Great video guys, appreciate the content. Hunting hogs in two weekends on my Florida property, time to lay the smack down

[@josiahneill8817]

Ive seen more hogs deer hunting this year than i ever have, come on down ! I enjoy watchin yall videos, you guys are awesome

[@rwmack3523]

Thought from a nutmegger: y'all said hogs haven't been a considerable threat to you guys in the woods and they tend to choose running almost every time. I wonder if that's because they now recognize humans as a direct consistent predator whereas they used to fight back and earned the reputation before we went so (pun intended) ham on them. In CT, we have a quickly growing bear problem which's compounded by the complete lack of fear bears have for people. The hunters and even our Dept of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) have agreed that some manner of bear season is required for management before we have worse problems in the imminent future. Mind you, we had 2 attacks in our tiny state (one was a child in their own yard) and over 70 confirmed home invasions by bears in the past year. I wonder if we could ever get bears to fear humans and run the way y'all anecdotally say hogs do if we had an open season on them too.

[@duckinatree]

Must be a different breed up there. Because over here in PA we can chase them off pretty easily. 2 seasons ago, me and my buddy chased a 400 pounder back-and-forth over the mountain till it eventually ran the ridge away. Lol funny stuff

[@paulrivera6120]

Just moving to north texas loving this video would love to see more hog content around different regions of Texas

[@JonSnow-gs6ov]

What is going on with that elk’s thang!?!?!

[@stsehnert]

Great timing guys, thanks. Heading to public land here in NTX this week w/ the crossbow for the first time. Hoping to fill the freezer.

Noyce !!

[@vzeitler]

The shotgun shot at 26:25 Let's go!!

[@rwmack3523]

Just to clarify, just because you can't hunt them down to zero doesn't mean you're not still making the environmentally ethical choice by hunting as many of them as you can. Even spiritually, as a Catholic or any Christian denomination, hunting invasive feral hogs makes you a proper Steward of the earth and makes Jesus smile because you're taking responsibility for your fellow man's inadequacies at handling livestock with your hunting adequacies. It's literally biblical: there's zero shame in hunting hogs in America as much as you want. Rejoice!

[@johndyer9232]

Amen!

[@durrr1007]

No, it does not. There are non lethal forms of population control nothing about this is compassionate or Christian

[@dustincounts4929]

What size buckshot do you recommend for hogs?

[@TheElementWild]

Double 00 is the best that I’ve used.

[@DavidBowCrazyBabyak86]

Are those real little pigs piglets or whatever you want to call them? Or are they good eating? They look like they might be just a whole one thrown on a spit or something I don't know

[@TheElementWild]

Yes. I’ve cooked them whole in a crockpot a few times. Very good, just can’t use dry heat.

[@chadrossiter156]

I've been looking for places to hunt free range hogs I have no problems paying for a license I just ain't paying a ranch 2000$ up to hunt fenced in animals I want the whole experience.

[@Michaeldpress14]

There are plenty of low fence outfitters in Texas that’ll take you for a few hundred bucks

[@redbloodedamerican3204]

Go to Alabama. Small game license is $46 and just do a public land hunt on your own. Pretty cheap

[@stephanies094]

Yes hogs have a GREAT sense of smell.

[@duckinatree]

What's going on with that Elks member 1:24

[@packinaglock]

That’s a hung S.O.B. 😂

[@gavinray4911]

Is a 400gr arrow with 125 G5 mega meat with a halo nock ok for pig hunting?

[@TheElementWild]

It’s a little light, but with good arrow placement it’ll work. Maybe consider a smaller cut broadhead for better penetration.

[@gavinray4911]

@@TheElementWild thank you for the info.

[@chadrossiter156]

Illinois is no hog hunting .

[@redbloodedamerican3204]

Soon to be no rights either!

[@nesbybostick810]

How close can y'all get to them pigs with a bow without them spotting y'all.

[@thermalpursuit5447]

Second

[@nathanzimmerman2252]

My son and i would love to go hog hunting, but we don't have hogs in Indiana and don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a hunt.

[@TheElementWild]

You should look at public land in Texas.

[@chewee2k]

are those buggers covered with lice or no-see'ums or fleas

[@TheElementWild]

Sometimes yes, but it’s usually just the lice. An interesting thing about lice is that they are species specific. So lice on a wild hog will not infect a human.

[@chrisbacarella839]

I have been attacked two times by hogs you need to to careful they can hurt you one I had shot already the other just charged me on the ground with crossbow 10 yards after I shot right over it's back lucky for me had a tree right next to me

[@sticksstrings9792]

KC is absolutely right about aggression. My guess is a lot of these charges in the comments are bc pigs have poor eyesight, run away in your direction. You cant convince me anyone was treed by a pig. They simply dont chase anything, they can charge or hold ground, unlikely unless wounded. Sows will not defend their piglets. They have a lot of piglets bc that is their defense mechanism along with camouflage. One is killed but not the other 8 hiding in the grass. Those arnt characteristics of an animal that has aggression. Think black bear with 3 black cubs.

[@Michaeldpress14]

First

[@user-bs1ko9lq8h]

So you have killed 3000 hogs but you just figured out that there nose is there best defense lol im glad its not critical lol

[@cooterbrown1703]

I hate them with a passion.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

I love them for being available all year round and for the way they taste. I hate what they do and how destructive they are. #Torn
