"What are some do's and don'ts in stalking hogs. What do you look for. What type of terrain is best for stalking."
For stalking anything: Learn how to walk quietly! I have folks come out to hunt and they'll wear these hard-soled waffle-stomper boots, and as deaf as I am I can hear them a hundred yards off. And they wear pants that go "weep, weep, weep" against the brush as they walk.
I wear soft, crepe-soled Russell Bird Hunters or Red Wing Forty-mile boots and old, soft khaki pants. The last deer I killed was at no more than some 25 yards. I'd just walked across a rocky creek bottom and was easing up his side of the creekbank when he raised his horns up out of the grass; he'd heard sounds, but nothing to excite him. I regularly walk up to within ten yards or so of javelina.
Anyway, listen to yourself as you walk, and move more slowly. Put your feet down gently.
Next thing is, don't look at your feet. Glance out ahead for your next two or three steps or so. Then, look out and around as you take those steps. Repeat the process. You don't see animals when you're looking at your feet about where you're going. You can't walk quietly if you haven't spotted a dry stick or a rolling rock. It becomes reflex after some practice.
Overall, don't be in a hurry to see how much ground you can cover in a day. Stop from time to time and just sit for ten or fifteen minutes. And, when travelling along, look behind you, regularly. Often, after you've passed, some critter will stick his head out to watch you as you leave their area.
Stuff like that.
