Sure was hoping for a reply. I always wondered about the hunting there.

I hunted Bankhead in the mid 80's, never saw a hog and very little deer.

Surly someone has hunted there recently and could give a better up-date.

Been wanting to head down there myself and check the hog hunting out.  May try to get over there in the next few weeks.  Randy, good luck and let us know how it goes.
