I don't know much about setting something like this up but I can start with a google search and see where that takes me.

What states or area would you guys be interested in going?

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

I don't think I could swing a pig hunt in Hawaii. Ouch

When I have been looking on the 'putter about all I find are high fence hunts.

And most of them charge by the number and size of the pig you want to shoot.

I under stand most hunting is around feeders, that's a hard pill for me to swallow.

If your having a problem with pigs why do you feed them and make them fat and happy to stay and cause a problem? AND why do they charge me 300 bucks per pig, to fly out and shoot there problem.

Sorry just my rant.

I still want to shoot some... Ouch

There has to be some place for us to shot/hunt them I'll keep looking too.

Texas or Arkansas are probably our closest options.

Maybe California But I hear there smaller pigs, How about like Georgia, or the Carolinas, Florida?

That makes it almost like a hunt in Hawaii.

Any one know what constitutes a Trophy hog?

Do you think there is a processor that will freeze and ship Hogs? I think a swamp buggy hunt would be great fun. I'M NOT going to go after a knife and spear. Lodge, Motel, Transportation, All in price?. Approve

The only one I have found so far that is actually free range hunting that's not over a feeder is Prone Outfitters.

Texas Hog Hunting: 100% FREE RANGE - Prone Outfitters

Pretty expensive but they have no limits or extra charges for trophy hogs. They do night hunts and will rent thermal gear or you can bring your own. Renting theirs is expensive too.

Their are some places that are cheaper but most of them limit you to one or two hogs a day and are over feeders. I assume they are high fence ranches but I'm not 100% sure.

More thoughts on hunting wild hogs, especially for folks that have not done so.

Both male and female pigs has tusks.

Hogs get big and 300 pounds isn't uncommon.

Big pigs over 150# are usually not good to eat.

Female pigs usually have a brood of 6-12 piglets with them, I don't shoot if they are still suckling size.

Hogs have great sense of smell and poor eyesight. They are not blind but poor. Smell is equal to or better than black bears; and WAY better than any deer. so wind is a factor, as is body odor, where hog are being hunted heavily. they are smart.

Hunting from a blind over corn/bait along a creek/river is great. Hog generally run the watercourses, like to roll in mud! you can get to see deer/turkey/birds and lots of critters. so sitting isn't boaring (pun intended).

Hogs tend to be nocturnal, so early morning and evening are the best times. I've hunted them at night in fields, but not as much fun for me. Also, I like to realy pick my shots, and not have to rush, so daylight is my preference.

hope we can get something together.

More thoughts on hog hunting...with a pistol.

Only killed a few hog with a pistol, 41 mag, 44 mag, and 375 win. all had good shot placement.

375 win shot was quartering away at 55 yards uphill. Hit behind the last rib thru heart out front opposite shoulder. Hog stopped for one second then fell down and rolled to bottom of hill...tenderizing. Would not have tried that with 44 mag. 375 was a 270 grain tough bullet (made for cape buffalo).
