I didn't pay attention to that. Last Saturday, I went to the same spot where I found the broken arrow. It was bait for hog. At first, I didn't realize what it was there for. Now there are 2 small carters busted by the hogs. Hummm... sure enough that there are hogs somewhere. I am sure that they found the bait within 2 days. Just wonder who put the bait there...

    Im new to hog hunting too. How was the broken arrow bait?

      It isn't even called broken arrow bait. Just bait. The broken arrow was there as marker, that's all.

              None in the past couple of weeks. I ran all of the pigs out of the pasture. Im sure they'll come back soon though

                Yeah, have to go back several times and be patience. Soon or later, they will come back. Remember that they are very active at nights that we are not allowed to hunt during the dark hours.

                    Hunting Granger is really hard work. I like it because its hard. Most people go there once or twice and then give up. I do not blame them.

                    Yes you can bait but IMO it does not work very good. I put up a feeder last year but they never came to it while it was light... Except for once when I had it in the thick ragweed, I saw one right before dark but never stepped out.

                    In order to bait you need to find out where the pigs bed up during the day, without busting them out. Then in the afternoon make a light corn trail around where they bed and then sit in a tree down wind from the corn trail. IF they hit the corn right before dark they will feed and move fast IF your corn trail is light enough. 2-4 lbs of corn should get you a 100 yard trail.

                    But just because you find where they bed one night does not mean they will be there the next, but it works sometimes.

                      I like the nasty black bean looking corn it will pull the hogs to you.

                            Nice weather is bad for hog hunting. I like overcast or at least mostly cloudy. The only time I had a hog come to bait during legal hours was on an overcast evening.

                              Have to take some time off in January and spend a few quality days camping and hunting at Granger. If you see a hammock and a fire with a longbow hanging in the tree stop on by.

                                This morning, more heavy fogs. Fog is bad for hunting hogs??? Why is that? I know heavy overcast is good but I don't see fog being bad for the hunting.
