Thread: bush stalking pigs

I've found they hunt best dusk and dawn. But like you alluded to, keep searching with your binoculars and you'll see them bedded up and sometimes feeding during the day.

Your looking for the wrong sign , don't worry about the rutting so much keep going until you find the rooting surprisingly this activity can be successful with only 1 pig involved ..but where there is one theres usually more not far away , but good luck finding them in the bush without a dog , best bet would be to ask a pig hunter to take you out or 2nd best bet dump 2-3+ sheep/goat carcasses in a spot you can sit back & watch once they find them they will keep going back till its gone or you put more there, I have a few fond memory's of doing just that, one time my mate & i had around 10 dead green ,bearing,stinking ewes on the back of his old trailer heading for the hills , got a few k,s down the road & a wheel fell off going round a corner half the stinkn things fell off onto the road lol ..how embarrassing
Got a few good boars over the years doing it though..with dogs .

The sign I saw probably was rooting. Patches of under a square metre all turned up looking for grubs. Often there were several patches of sign nearby. Thanks for all the advice guys.
