I've being looking for a good ambushable wallow for years, but they are hard to find, most of them are in thick unaprochable areas,...than the other day while hunting, I looked over this ridge, and there it was, a dream set up, a well used trail and a well beat up wallow, in the open ( I can even hunt this spot at full moon :bigsmyl: ) prevailing tradesblow fromthe rigth of the wallow to where I was taking the pictures, you can see the trail exiting the ironwood forest into the wallow, and than continuing down what becomes a really steep mountainside.
I'll be there wednesday and thursday (new moon :bigsmyl: )

Thats a dream set up right there. Make sure you take plenty of pics of all them piggies!
Go Get 'Em!
Looks like a great spot, I hope it works out well. Post some pics of your success!
Uh ... how do you manage to get eatable meat from an animal in a mess like that? Wallows are great for elk in rut as well, but you gotta get 'em coming in, before they start pissing and rolling, or you have a black stinking inedible hunk o' dead meat. Unless, of course, there's a firehose handy! Man, we have 5' of snow here. I am jealous (I think).
wow u should have a lot of fun doing that there hole
Man that will make your heart start to pump just looking at the pics
You're in for some good times I'd say.
Very Nice! Hope to see that in the background of a "hero" pic. That is sweet!
That's right pops, my hart skipped a beat when I looked over the lip, i was more stoked than if I had killed a pig.
steadman, hopefully I'll connect.
In the mean time a friend of mine and I whent hunting a new spot today, this was a river bottom
we run into pigs as soon as we dropped in, but got them spooked, we hunted up the valley finding great signs everywere, at one point we sat a bit in ambush, I had a medium sized hogappering out of the bank without a sign, it was 3 yards from me, but since my friend hasen't yet killed his first I didn't shoot, unfortunately the pig whent in the opposite direction from where my friend was sitting in ambush,..he never even saw it.
on the way back I let him go way in front to see if he could get something, he told me later that he stumbled on 3 hogs that busted him, took a shot but missed,...next time :bigsmyl:
here's some pictures from the day
