[QUOTE="crg1372, post: 1287974, member: 13499"] Hogs aren't nocturnal full time. In the heat though they're mainly going to move at night. Right now you'll probably catch some around first light. During the colder months you'll find them out and about later in the mornings and the evenings. As far as rifles go, I started out hunting them with a 30/06 but quickly downgraded to a .243. The '06 was leaving exit wounds I could put both fists through. I've also seen a 30/30 punch a hole complety through a 250lb sow at around 75 yards. As with any gun shot placement is crucial. I alwas shoot for the vitals, just my personal preferance. We always bait with feeders and buck jam. The hogs really seem to like the apple buck jam. After a while the hogs will learn that the noise from the feeder going off is their ticket to dinner. Once they recognize they have a meal ticket they won't travel real far from the food source. We've actually walked up on quite a few a couple hours before the feeders were set to go off. My thinking was they were just waiting on the dinner bell. [/QUOTE]
