I am often asked to give advice on where to hunt hogs in Georgia and the answer really is simple- South Georgia.
They are FAR more numerous, easier to access and to be honest, easier to hunt for a number of reasons. Mountain Hogs are TOUGH! Brutal climbs, nomadic and often nearly impossible to pattern and incredibly smart because of the pressure they receive.
Having said that, I absolutely love the challenge of hunting them. Here is a little recovery video of a good boar that I took on a night hunt. I do about 95% of my hog hunting after dark because I love chasing the giants. The big boys really do prowl at night.
On this mountain hunt, there were about 8 hogs under my light and two were considerably bigger than this boar but I wanted the more rare to us, brown one. I have had the monster black hog at ten yards a couple times and let him go. I wont give him a pass again, lol.
A marginal blood trail was made a breeze with a string tracker- something I NEVER hunt without. Especially on the 80 degree nights in March. Thanks to Drifter Traditional Archery for making a really neat one for me.
Enjoy the video.
