i have a spot that i have been baiting and have a game camera setup but there is no blind. i was wanting to setup in the bed of my truck about 50-75 ft away and throw some camo netting over the bed. my question is, will the hogs be spooked by the truck (assuming we are quiet enough).

I hunt from the truck all the time. If the hogs havent been hunted a lot you should do fine, but they will learn that death comes in a truck. Hogs are smart and they learn fast. I hunt from a white Ford with no cammo. I do park in the trees about 75 yards from my feeder with my green light on a trypod on top of my truck.

thanks. i suspect i will be fine because this spot has not been hunted. i would stalk it since it is only 1/4 mile from the cabin but i am taking my 12 yr old daughter to try and get her first.

on the green light, i just bought a green led feeder light. i had heard from someone that green will spook them. i guess this is not the case?

It hasn't spooked them for me yet.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Have seen green and red lights used both very well for hog hunting.
I also agree about them being smart beyond belief.

They will get trap wise real quick. An old rancher showed me a trick that worked till they got smart to it was. To put a mirror at one end of your trap. Hog sees hog in mirror and it worked well for awhile. Also keep in mind that mirrors, hog traps, and hogs don't mix well either. So prepare for 7 years back luck.

Sitting in a pasture in my truck a group of hawg's would have went under the truck to get to the sour corn on the other side if we hadnt have started shooting them. seriously !!! I dont think the truck will bother them, they don't see to good no how.

It's a lot more comfy that way, plus you can plug in a spotlight....or be laze like me and just cut the headlights on for a brief sec. to see if anything is there. Ended up shooting a few that way Sat night during a lightning storm.
