Manuel Bright+FollowI tried 4 hog methods in Texas last weekJust got back from an epic hog hunt and wanted to share what's been working for me this season! The beauty of hog hunting is having so many options to choose from. My go-to methods: 1️⃣ Spot & Stalk - Hit those feeding areas early morning with good glass. Once you spot them, patience is everything for that perfect shot opportunity. 2️⃣ Baiting - Corn and molasses work like magic (where legal). Set up downwind and wait for them to come to you. 3️⃣ Stand/Blind Hunting - Found fresh hog sign? Set up nearby and let them come to you. Requires serious patience but pays off big time. 4️⃣ Dog Hunting - Training a hog dog is serious commitment, but nothing beats having a skilled pup track and corner these smart animals. Curious what method you swear by—or rotate between? #hunting #HogHunting #HuntingTips110Share
Eric Ford+FollowAnyone actually catch anything with traps?Been reading up on trapping lately and got curious—any older hunters here still setting traps? Would love to hear what you’ve used, what worked, and any tips you’d pass down. #hunting #HuntingTips #WildlifeTrapping2819Share
Manuel Bright+FollowMy biggest buck came from this scrape tip 🦌Been studying rubs and scrapes for years and they're basically GPS coordinates for where to set up. Here's what I've learned about using them effectively: 1️⃣ Size matters - Larger, higher rubs and big scrapes usually mean mature bucks are using them 2️⃣ Position downwind - Set your stand downwind from active scrape lines for optimal scent management 3️⃣ Trail cam gold - Scrapes get visited year-round but peak activity is fall, mostly at night 4️⃣ Post-rain visits - Bucks often return after rain to "freshen up" scrapes where scent washed away The scrape-to-trail-cam combo has been incredible for taking inventory of what's actually in the area. Multiple deer use the same spots, so you get a full picture of the local population. Anyone else had luck dialing in patterns this way? #hunting #DeerHunting #HuntingTips #TrailCameras582Share
jortiz+FollowFirst time trapping raccoons - here's what worked! ✅Had some raccoons tearing up my property last month, so I decided to try trapping for the first time. Did a bunch of research and talked to some old-timers at the local shop. Ended up going with a 32-42 inch live trap - apparently that's the sweet spot for raccoons. Tried both one-door and two-door setups. One-door was way easier to place in tight corners, but the two-door gave me more options for placement. Biggest lesson? Don't cheap out on the trap quality - these things are strong and will bust out of flimsy gear! Curious—what kind of traps have worked best for you, especially in wooded or semi-urban areas? #hunting #RaccoonTrapping #HuntingTips285Share
lolson+FollowFinally figured out my trail cam setupSetting up my trail cam used to be pure guesswork—bad angles, glare, and half the shots missed the action. After messing up a few times, here’s what I’ve learned that actually works: 1️⃣ Location is everything - Look for well-worn trails, water sources, and food plots. North-facing setups avoid harsh sun glare that ruins photos. 2️⃣ Height matters - 2-3 feet for deer, lower for smaller game. Angle down slightly for close trails, keep level for distant ones. 3️⃣ Power prep - Lithium batteries last way longer than alkaline, especially in extreme temps. Fresh 32GB SD card formatted before use is clutch. 4️⃣ Settings dialed in - Fast trigger speed (0.2-0.5 seconds), adjust sensitivity based on area size. Test walk the detection zone before leaving! 5️⃣ Scent control - Wear gloves and minimize touching around the setup area. 6️⃣ Regular checks - Replace batteries and review footage regularly. Walk-test before leaving and always wear gloves to avoid spooking animals. What camera settings or placement tricks have worked best for you? #hunting #trailcamtips #WildlifeWatching #HuntingTips93Share

Manuel Bright+FollowTop Sounds to Lure Coyotes Fast!Ever tried calling in a coyote and got nothing but silence? It might be your sounds. Here are 4 that actually work: 1️⃣ Rabbit distress calls: Coyotes can't resist the high-pitched cries of a rabbit in trouble. 2️⃣ Rodent squeaks: Perfect for close encounters, these mimic the small prey coyotes love. 3️⃣ Coyote pup distress: Especially effective in spring and summer, this sound tugs at their parental instincts. 4️⃣ Coyote howls and yips: Great for sparking curiosity or territorial instincts. Mix it up depending on season and time of day—you'll be surprised what draws them in. #hunting #CoyoteHunting #WildlifeCalls #HuntingTips11314Share
lolson+FollowHow I got coyotes to finally come in 🐺Been getting into coyote hunting more last season and wanted to share a few calling tips that have helped me see better results: 1️⃣ Start with locator howls to find them before switching to distress calls 2️⃣ Keep distress calls short - 15-30 second bursts with pauses, not constant noise 3️⃣ Position with wind at your back so they approach into your scent 4️⃣ Wait 20-30 minutes between sequences - patience beats overcalling every time Pup distress calls during spring have been incredibly effective when nothing else works. Used to call way too much and spook them. What's your go-to calling sequence that actually brings them in? #hunting #CoyoteHunting #PredatorCalling #HuntingTips297Share
lolson+FollowHog behavior tips: hunt smarter, not harder 🐗Noticed some patterns while tracking hogs lately—figured I’d share. Sows and piglets usually move in groups (sounders), but those big solo roamers? Might be a mature boar worth tracking. Makes a difference when deciding how to set up. Anyone else noticed this in their hunts? #hunting #HogHunting #WildBoar #HuntingTips #SounderStrategy80Share
lolson+FollowWhen do you start scouting whitetails? 🦌Is spring too early or fall too late for deer scouting? Trying to get ahead of other hunters but not sure on timing. #hunting #whitetailscouting #deerhunting #huntingtips1610Share
