Or at least the windy conditions will cover the sound of hunters moving around!

I went out to Gate 5/6 yesterday. I saw a bunch of sign, and then off in the distance, I heard some hogs. They sounded really ****ed off too, like two boars fighting or an injured pig. I made my way over there, and as I got closer, I kicked up a pretty good sized hog that I must of missed while glassing the brush pile. I stood there for a minute, thinking I blew my chance, and then I heard the hogs again, and this time they sounded much closer.
At this point my heart is racing like crazy, since I haven't taken a hog from Granger yet. I seriously could barely nock an arrow. I managed to slowly stalk up, and the squealing was so loud I knew that the hogs were right around the corner of this bamboo/brushy kind of area. I slowly made my way around, only to be greeted by the letters "Ameristep". Turns out it was just a guy in a ground blind with an electronic hog call.
So I made my way out of that area as quickly and as quietly as I could and then ****ed myself laughing. I'm not sure if the hunter(s) saw me, but if it was one of y'all, I'm sorry if I threw any salt in your game. If I was a pig, you would have gotten me for sure.Last edited by AdonisVonDanger; 11-28-2017, 10:08 AM.

Howdy. Been trawling the thread for a while and figure I might as well start contributing.
I've been out to gates 5 and 6 a couple times now and seen 4 deer and no hogs either at dawn or dusk or anytime in between. Anyone mind commenting on at least when they've seen hogs anywhere out at Granger?
In my last trip I went through the brush out behind gate 5 towards the lake and only scared up some cows then camped from 3 - 5 in a clearing just off the lake where there were two clearly used hog wallows. Still nothing. Hope that helps someone know where not to look!
Good luck out there.

Granger Ranger: where they are changes with the season and weather. You are most likely to catch them moving in daylight on a cloudy/foggy or rainy day. On sunny days, they are holed up in the thickets and are tough to see before they see/hear you. If you are going out on sunny days, try and go with another hunter. That way pigs getting out of a bed to avoid one hunter, may stumble into the sights of another.
