Title: Before a storm or after Post by: mdj Hoggers on April 14, 2014, 03:34:31 pm I've always thought about this if it's better to hunt after it rain yes it would wash away old tracks and scent and always been told a wet hog scents stronger than a dry hog same as coon hunting but then again always heard everything move harder before a good storm to get ready for it just something to talk about since I'm not hunting cuz it's pouring

If I'm deer hunting, I hunt before a storm ( no dogs, just tree stands). Title: Re: Before a storm or after Post by: mdj Hoggers on April 14, 2014, 04:58:14 pm That's kinda what I thought to

I have some spots that seems like hogs bay better durning the rain .. After and during a light rain track hunting is a blast to test your young dogs.
Title: Re: Before a storm or after Post by: mdj Hoggers on April 15, 2014, 01:36:57 pm Yeah because of the fresh sign

I also believe that it's easier for the dogs to take a track after it rains because all of the other scent is washed away. To me, it's not about whether it's better to hunt before or after a storm, but about changing your strategy to suite the different situations.
