Just about finished with my Scout rifel. Enfield No4 with barrel cut down to 16 1/4 inches. And Bushnell red dot scope. This thing is cool. Hope to try it out next weekend now that Select-fire has a boat. We need a boat to get to where the hogs are. If we get one just might have to have anothe shoot. Maybe call it The Appliance shoot monster truck mudd bogg tractor pull hog roast * dog jamborre.

I wanna go. I'm in NC, what's the farthest I'll have to go to find some (counting on finding some land or something to hunt). Can I do it on public land if I'm from out of state? I see hogs are a big problem, and I wanna make the world a better place one round at a time. [:D]

Ray,(ryanmarine), went hog hunting on the ranch here last night. Took him 15 minutes to bag this one. Don

There comes a time in every man's life when he wants pork. That time is now!

Where can I go for fair chase hog hunts, without spending several thousand dollars? Guided would be nice, but not nice enough for two grand.

I'd be looking for a two-man hunt, open to all weaponry (except a knife--I'm not that hardcore), and any kind of hogs. Help would be appreciated, especially first-hand experience. Thanks.

This is the ticket for helicopter hunting for hogs.

I am going to take my friend hog hunting he is from AR i am from LA i know it is hot but i hunt year "round" i usually use a 22 lr or a 22 mag at the most we use dogs to "bay" up the hogs they usually run from 120lbs to the old boars at 6 or even 700lbs i have never had a proablem with my 22 i killed a 529 lb hog with one shot from a 22 lr. but he wants to kill one with a bow on the ground and doesn't want me to stand backup with my rifle this sounds dangerous to me i have been cut twice hunting them once really bad what my question is is there anyone here that has hunted them with a bow from the ground i am an avid bow hunter but i have never had the desire to do this ( with my dogs i can give him a nice standing shot) but i think i'm going to bring my rifle P.S. i have never been cut by a hog that i had shot

I am looking for a place to hunt some hogs preferrably in and or around Virginia. Anyone with some suggestions or property who will let me hunt them would be appreciated. Thanks.

My son in-law has asked me to go on a hunting trip with him. He does a lot of bow and gun deer hunting with his family here in Northeastern Wisconsin and at his family's deer camp in Northern Wisconsin from Mid-October through November. However, he wants to take me hunting somewhere different, just the two of us, for which I am very grateful. I do love to hunt pheasants but do not care much for the meat, do not have a hunting dog, and could not really find many places in North or South Dakota that interested us. Somehow we stumbled upon "Hog Hunting." As we discussed it we really liked the idea, neither one of us has ever done it before, our families love pork, it would be good practice for him for deer hunting, it is something different, we might be able to go in September, and important to me I may not have to sit in or under a tree for hours (which I hate).
However, we have no idea where to go. We have a week to 10 days for our trip. On the internet it looks like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas are the best places to go. Driving from Green Bay, WI we would rather go to Oklahoma or Arkansas, but what is most important is to have a great time and maybe bring some meat home. There are so many places to go and we have no experience so we were hoping you we could get some help from all of you. Does anyone know of some good outfitters, guides, or hunting ranches to go to? We would also like to do a little fishing too. Our budget is around the $1500 each amount. We really appreciate your assistance.

Has anyone on this site done ant wild hog hunting? I live in Missouri and just read in the paper we have over 10,000 wild hogs in our state. They are getting so bad the conservation dept. wants you to kill any hogs you encounter on site.Just wondering if there are some hog hunting pros out there that can give me some pointers.
