Hello fellow hunters I thought I would drop by and tell yall about a recent wild hog hunt I had at wilderness calls. It was the weekend before thanksgiving and little Sam and I drove up for the weekend little Sam got a nice sow the first afternoon. I had not seen anything after hunting all weekend and not seeing nothing but two does and a nubbin buck, I was ready to see someting to shoot. I decided to change my stand location and sit on one of the many food plots in hopes of a good buck appearing it was just after day light when I heard something coming up the hill to my right it sounded big, but I could not tell what it was then I heard the loud grunting and squealing of wild hogs, I knew if one presented me with a shot I would take it. After several hours in the stand and not getting a shot on one, because they would not come into the field, I decided to change my approach and try a spot and stalk now if you are an experienced hunter like, this is ok, but wild hogs are very dangerous when cornered and this should not be attempted by anyone who has not been hunting very long. I checked the wind it was perfect hogs have an amazing since of smell and you have to be aware of the wind at all times. I could tell where they were going so I circled around in front of them, as I was coming up on a hill, and just over the top of the hill, I could see the back of a big wild boar hog he was about 15 yards away when he detected something was wrong and turned. He then went away from me allowing me to ease up on top of the hill, at the bottom of the hill there was a nice wild boar hog feeding on some acorns he weighed about 250lbs. To my right there was a couple of smaller ones I knew I wanted to take the hog at the bottom if he would just clear some bushes after watching him for what seemed like a lifetime he finally came out around the bushes presenting me with a clear shot at his head, so I took it and down he went. A lot of people think you can not eat a wild boar hog especially one of this size, there could be nothing farther from the truth. If the wild boar hog has been stressed, like running from dogs or one that has been chasing sows will have a pretty rough odor to them. When you take a wild boar hog as soon as he is down you have to cut his testicles out to keep him from releasing his pheromone which will cause him to stink and the meat will have a strong odor to it when cooking, but if you do this as soon as you have one down 99% of the time it will be fine and it will be some good eating. Well until next time good hunting
