I'm in the planning process for a hog hunt this year. With my schedule and funds(lack of) it is going to have to be a 3 day weekend trip with camp grounds near by and inexpensive tags. Am I asking to much?

I have read through most of the hog threads and have made up my mind to make this happen this year. This will be my first hog and out of state hunt so any info from what states to hunting techniques would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rob

Go to Alabama Conservation Dept website www.outdooralabama.com
Look up Public Lands/ WMAs. Lots of hogs on some of the WMAs. Lowndes Mang. Area, Mobile area the Mobile Tensaw Delta. Lots of hogs.
Lowndes is in the central part of the state and has a good campground, not too far away, and some primitive camping on the area.
The website also has a good feral hog page. Interesting.

Texas would be a haul but could be done. Might have to invest in a scooter with a bow holder instead of my v8 for that one. [Big Grin]

Jag I will check that out.

Thanks for the info huskyarcher. Right now I'm looking more for a DIY hunt and maybe meet some fellow Tradgangers along the way.

Fort stewat in Georgia. Licenses should end up being $65.
From what I understand, they have camping areas too.

Archery hunters must qualify.

You may want to give Ray Hammond a shout. I went in January and I am going back Memorial Day weekend.

For the price you get dinner and a place to sleep on Thursday evening. You hunt with three meals a day Friday and Saturday. You hunt a half day on Sunday. Three nights stay, 9 meals and 2.5 days of hog hunting seems reasonable to me for a weekend hunt for the price Ray gets.

I am looking to find a place in Florida for a week long hunt next for hogs.

Good luck
Gil

Rob, a bunch of Georgia guys get together every year in a couple of public land hunts and they always see hogs and folks in the group take hogs. I've been wanting to go but it's a long drive for me too. It takes place March-April and they camp out in one of the parks and hunt from there.

Rob, some guy with the PBS is hosting a cheap hog hunt in Georgia, to be held for members on the first weekend in March. Tags and camping about $100. Good public area.

Also, the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia hold member hunts at various locations throughout the year, usually for multiple animals like hogs and turkeys, hogs and deer, hogs and bear, etc. This is a great group of bowhunters, that welcomes new members from outside GA, even if you do talk funny.
