Just returned from hosting the week-long PBS membership hog hunt in coastal Georgia.  You could say that it was successful, in more ways than one.  I will only post pics of my hogs - hopefully the other successful TradGangers will post pics of their hogs...

One day the gang could hear some hogs fighting on a nearby island for hours, so I suspected that there was a sow in heat there with boars fighting over her.  I was correct - one Tradganger got after them early in the afternoon and I got on their trail towards the end of the day.  It was tricky because it was a part of the island I didn't know and the tide was going out, so I was worried about getting my boat stranded.  I followed the sounds of grunting, fighting and squealing for an hour before I caught them in the open.  I spotted them right as the sun set and immediately decided that the three boars were too big to handle by myself, now 1/2 mile from the boat.  The boars were jumbos all around 300 pounds.  As I watched them and the hot sow, I noticed a much smaller pig feeding my way and estimated it at around 50 pounds - perfect to shoot and carry over my shoulder back to the boat.  I drew and shot, and was surprised when I found him - it was a 125 lb boar!  My first case of reverse ground shrinkage, and at just the wrong time.  I had to quickly quarter him, get the game bags into my pack and find my boat before dark.  The boat was half out of the water by then, but I was able to get it floating again and run back to camp as the daylight faded.  He looked small compared to the three jumbos!

Is there a fee for the hunts? Or, just have to be a member?
Great pics.

You just have to be a member and buy the proper license for this one. They are several PBS hunt all over the country.

I will let Jeff Holchin chime in on this one.

There is much information to be gained by being a member. I am hunting moose in AK with another PBS member this fall and several PBS 'ers have helped us along the way.

Tim is correct, no additional fees for any PBS member hunts, you just have to be a member and pay attention when the hunts are announced.  There are limited spots and they go fast sometimes.  For this particular hunt, it costs about $100 in licenses for a 3-day hunt plus your transportation cost to Savannah.  A boat is required to hunt these islands, so you either have to own a boat or team up with a PBSer with a boat.  The connections you can make in the PBS coulkd result in numerous hunt opportunities - all of my bowhunts this year will be because of my PBS connections.  If you count Javalina as a hog, there have already been five PBS member hunts so far this year (in AZ, TX, SC and GA), and there will be numerous member hunts this spring, summer and fall for animals all over the country.

 

This was a last-hour pig for me - on the final day I dropped off some hunters and went back to a spot that another member had checked earlier in the day.  I spotted some fresh pig tracks that came out of the needle grass, then went back in, on a trail that was decent.  I slowly followed the tracks and happened to hear some hogs feeding ahead.  I slowly worked into my comfortable shooting range (5 yards) and made a good shot.  As my pig died, I could have shot another one that was the same size, but knew that I would have my hands full with this one.

These links are the video's Tracy did of the second hog. There is 3 of them because they are short cell phone video's. I'm always amazed at the quality of video a phone will take.

Does that include the Hog hunt that was at the Spike Box the week before this one?

The PBSers are passionate about hunting.   :bigsmyl:

Bill, looked like you had complete pass through? I'm curious because I'm gonna hunt some hogs for first time next year and have a similar setup but only draw 26.5". Also my arrows now are about 500 grains with 3 blade vpa but I'm looking to bump up weight and maybe switch to a two blade.
