it is cheaper if you skin your pig first and quarter it,at most places, i allways just leave the skin on mine my processor only charges 20 dollars extra and the time is worth the money for me, if i shoot multiple hogs then i will skin them out

We like to spot and stalk during the day and maybe sit in stands for the evening hunt. Never hunted with dogs but that might be fun. "Grab & Stab" would make for a sweet video to show the grandkids.

Shoot me an email and we can see what happens...........

Hogs will lay up all day in a cool wet area then move and feed at night, if you want to increase your chances of seeing hogs late in the evening before it's gets dark, find the cool wet places where they may be bedding down during the day and bait the area with flour / corn or anything that might keep them hanging around.  try using a hog pipe and set up a trail cam to find out exactly what time they are hitting the hog pipe, if it's strictly at night then get you a Destroyer Hawg light and shoot some pork at night.

Good luck, we had already been trying diseal corn, corn mixed with beer to get sour, and bread etc... The best thing that had been working was our hog pipe we set up in the sendero, but it would only get hit once or twice a month, then we tried the flour, it worked!!! Now that deer season is over we are going to focus primarily on hog hunting and trying to shoot a huge boar that is roaming our plcae and is estimated to weigh between 400 to 500 lbs, but is very smart and only comes out early in the am or during the night.

I'm almost strictly a Winchester guy (rifle-wise anyways) and I'll agree with Colby on the base/ring combo. I've never had good luck with weaver style bases and think of them more of an improved (slightly) dove-tail mount (found on .22s and air-guns). I'm betting that the simmons 8-point that came mounted on it was on weaaver style bases to begin with. Might be why you're unable to hit paper (wobbly scope syndrome). If that's not the cause do this (because bore-sighters are hit or miss - excuse the pun). After bore-sighting, don't goto the 100-yard range first off. Start at 25-50, adjust scope to impact, then increase range and do this all the way out to your maximum effective range or as far as your comfortable to shoot (or your range allows). Do it correct the first time and you'll never have to do it again.
