Here in iowa we drive deer. Which means you got a few walkers walking through a thicket or timber scaring or driving the deer to some standers who are somwhat hidden and when the aninmals run by the standers get the shooting. Just curious if this method would work for hunting hogs?

yes and no. ive never really tried that method, what works better and what i thought u were talking abouta t first is what i do, get in a truck/mule/RTV and drive around to all the hot spots for hogs, find em, drive fast, get next to em, shoot em. really fun, the only thing more fun is running dogs.

Hell ya i like running dogs, ive only done it a handfull of times but my cousin and some of his buddies are pretty good at it!

Scare up a bedded down hog and you're likely to get charged...

fail...... ive done it a hundred times, they always run away. but it could happen!

i know it just a blast to do the was i said and i have shot a few coyotes running through fields out the truck window and it sure is a blast up here we call it arkansawing one lol

it might work, but it would be like herding chickens. there's no telling what direction they're gonna go.

Nothing beats spot lighting them, chasin em in a truck in the middle of the night with guns drawn and a Doors CD playing full blast... LMAO

good times

so when they are jumpeed they don't typically try to follow the brush they just kinda go every which way?

We also hunt coyote somtime by everyone sitting around a patch of timber and send one or two guys in wit shotguns and everyone else on the outside sit in thee trucks and shoot whatever comes out. Would that work any better anyone think?

Feel sorry for those guys when they step out! lol

Give me a quad and a 12g and I will drop hogs all night long

The problem with hogs is they r a problem. I live in east tx and i can assure u i have lots of experience dealing with them. i have hunted them every way possible; stalking, sitting over feeders, running dogs, etc. The best way i've found is getting in there and stalking them. Trying to drive them would just leave u frustrated hogs are like mini bulldozers unlike deer the dont take the path of least resistance they just go through what ever is in front of them and usually stay in thick cover when bothered

OK thanks spitfire

im tellin u iowa, find someone with dogs, and go out with em, u wanna hunt hogs, that is the way to hunt hogs!

i would love to try it i really would lol i really don't care how i do it i just wanna kill some hogs

i disagree, driving is very effective. i hunt hogs yearly around DeLeon and all we do is drives. over the course of a few days like 4 or so, if the pigs are in the area well get upwards of 20. we drive creek and river bottoms along and inbetween pastures as well as black locust thickets. its very effective ad their milling around running everywhere helps you get more. some mill, other run to hte blockers. the idea of getting charged is fear about a slim to none chance.

we get alot of pigs and its mostly old guys who arent that agile.

Thanks wyatt very helpfull and i guess if ya think about it if you have enough guys it has to workin someway lol cause you could just cover the whole timber

Me and OperationPorkchop have gone to Old Sabine Bottom and Stalked/Drove pigs before and there is more pigs now than there was then. You come on down and we will kill some pigs!!!!! I'll have some trapped and ready for the smoker before you get here.

my buddy in south texas drives around in his 250 till he finds a group, guns it and just runs over them.

i guess you could consider that a different kind of drive method

I agree with spitfire. If you hunt fenced area sometimes drives will work if you are conceald well. But if they are under pressure they will mow down anything to get the heck outta there. When Hogs are on the alert, they can be very difficult just like any game.

Can you bait em?

Also shooting dove off a power line = Arkansawing

Sounds like a blast
