Since the next 5 weeks will be no hunting and setting up a few new hog areas and tweaking some old reliable stands it dawned on me I might want to check with the brain trust here on any kinds of rotations you use. If there is one thing I'm convinced of it's the I, me big dummy, have not been able to detect a single pattern with hogs. Just when I think I've got them on a pattern poof they are gone like a fart in the wind! Except during rifle season they are super predictable as soon as a shooter buck shows up on cam guaranteed the hogs will blow it up within hours.
My modus operandi has been finding good stands with winds that work for that night and plopping down. I've stopped paying attention to what's on cams unless they are just empty, but that hasn't happened yet. What's your method to the madness? How are you deciding where you will sit that evening?
We have 15 club stands, 3 shooting houses and my buddy and I have a few climbers scattered around. We are going to prep 2 new areas with climbers that are just chock full of wallows, beds, poop and rubs. Going to bury kitchen scraps from the restaurant/bakery next door, scratch posts, timed feeder and roll barrels with Frank's cowbells. We have another 8 stands that produce hogs at any moment for no rhyme or reason we can figure out which are nothing but timed feeders....going to put 2 roll barrels at the 2 hottest ones. We are also going to put a roll barrel about 50 yards out in a field off a wet head of oaks that always holds them so we can maybe get a few extra shots.
Thermals coming in the next couple of months. Not sure if my details here will help devise a better plan than what we use, but feel free to say whatever you think. It's basically us 2 trying to kill the hogs this summer the other guys don't like the heat of the summer, rain etc. We have some hoggin to do I just wanna make sure we are going at it with a better/the best approach. Thanks
