Where we hunt in Louisiana is getting completely ran over with hogs.  Every february(squirrel season), we chase those hogs for the entire month.  I am opening an invitation to anyone who would want to come down and hunt with us.  We have a camping area, water, electricity, and plenty of room for tents.  

This will be on public land, so you will have to purchase a 3 day license or so, but no other fees.  Free camping, free hunting, and a great camp fire!

No baiting is allowed, and there is only about 50,000 acres for us to hunt.  I have already killed 9 this year(in the last month) and saw close to 20 in 2 trips.  

IF anyone is interested, reply or pm me.  I want to make this happen!


****INFO I LEFT OUT****

The place we will be hunting is called Boeuf WMA(pronounced Bef) with the camping area near 1384 Horseshoe Lake Road Columbia, La 71418.  

We own 25 acres that butts up to the WMA, so all hunting land is within walking distance.  The hog numbers have been getting crazy.  3 years ago, I saw a lot of sign, but no hogs.  Last year we killed 10 and I know that I personally saw over 100.  I saw over 50 in one group.  In 2 trips scouting this year I have seen 8 in one group, 6 in another group, and 7 in another group.  All in different areas, all different pigs as 2 of the encounters were on the same day.  I am confident that we will have no problem FINDING the pigs, the problem will be killing them.  

There is a variety of terrain you have to choose from.  Creeks, thickets, big woods, oak flats, low lands, ridges, whatever you desire and I will do my very best to help in anyway possible.  We also have a variety of options for you as entering the WMA.  Boat, atv, truck, feet.  

No matter what, we will have a blast, eat good, and on saturday night we will have a little devotional time and give thanks to the lord for His beautiful creation.  

There are also fishing opportunities, if you wish, as the land butts up to a lake also.  A great perch lake i might add.

I will take up to 15 people, but have to cut it off at that.  

Prepare to sleep in a tent.  If something is available, i will let you know.  

Usually in LA at this time, It is pretty cold, but we will discuss all that at a later date.  

The projected date at this time is February 6th,7th, and 8th.  

**again, if this doesn't work for you, let me know now so we can see what works best for you.  


IF YOU WANT TO CONFIRM YOUR SPOT, I NEED YOUR NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS AND A PHONE NUMBER I CAN CONTACT YOU WITH.

I lived in Bossier City for a while. Would love to come down but will have to study on this. It's about a 20 hour drive for me. I'm sure it'll be a great time. Good of you to offer it up.

31 years ago it was a 20 hour trip to Bossier. Looking at a map it might be about 13 now to Monroe. Might have to give this some serious thought.

Thanks again for the offer.

Here is a link to the cost of a license.  It looks like it will be right about $100.  

Since this is in squirrel season, you can legally hunt squirrels with bows here, you only have to buy a small game license.

Since this is on a WMA, you will have to buy a preserve permit which is $15.

I am not 100% set on a date yet, as I will cater to what you guys would like to do.  My only desire is, I would like to get everyone there the same weekend(friday, saturday, sunday)

Since you are so close, you are welcome anytime!  

Do you know Stephen Raggio?  He also lives in Lafayette and hunts with us.  I think last year we killed 13 deer and about 10 hogs between 4 us us.  We missed far more opportunities than that while pursuing the pigs though..

Sounds like a fun time, Daniel. I am just over 100 miles from you and February is nice and cool. I will send you an email.

Chuck,
should things turn out like I hope, this will be the 1st ANNUAL, with many more to come!  People are already paying $$ and driving hours to hunt.  Why not pay nothing and drive hours?!?! lol.  

The good news is, the hog population is going crazy here.  Each annual hunt should get better and better!!

I would definitely be interested in joining you on this hunt. With luck, I might be able to get "Ric O'Shay" to tag along as well. Additional info would be helpful regarding location(driving time). We would be coming out of the Dallas, TX area.   :campfire:

Pete,

We will tentatively plan for this weekend.  If more people have plans this weekend than others, we may have to move it.  I want to do whats best for everyone.  When i get the final list compiled, I will individually message everyone and get some more details.  As of right now, I have 5 people who said they can make it and about that many who are interested.  

I am not dead set on taking 10, so if we can get 15, come on!  The more the merrier!!
