Hog or deer beds?

[Randy Madden]

Well Tapatalk won’t let me post the video. But this is him bedded, and a couple pics of my bow in the bed to show the depth. I got an arrow in him and tracked him a long dang ways and was able to shoot him again but the second shot just barely cut his leg and I never recovered him.
Pretty good sized boar about 180 ish
I’ve seen it several times but most always it’s evident it’s a group of hogs (sows) . As I’m sure the Op’s pic is also.
This one was a solo bed with a boar in it. Makes me believe they do it more than we think. Why wouldn’t they?

Yep, boars build 'em too. Jumped many out of beds along the river.

i imagine you could smell something that would say...hogs.

Boars will do it also. I’ll shot one in a bed just like this last year. Shot wasn’t great. Tracked him a long ways and was able to shoot him again.

That sounds like fun!! I did this years ago on a lease in Sonora. I shot a big mature doe early bow season. It was hot that morning-trailed her for a long ways and got lucky to see her 70 yrds in front of me bedded under a huge live oak. Her head was up looking at me with her dead giveaway big ears. I crouched down and waited to see if she would get up. She didn't. Once she calmed down, I put an arrow in her boiler room as she layed there. She never got up. I'll never forget watching that arrow arching down from above her and hitting its mark!
