Man he's mighty close to me.I live around that area.Where is he at darien,eulonia,newport,riceboro,richmond hill?Yes you can hunt them year around here in Ga on private land..We shoot them with bows,shotguns,muzzleloaders,and high powered rifles.Alot of old timers use a .22,,and shoot them in the ear or between the eyes.It will kill them,but I wouldn't really advise using it,especially on larger hogs.00 buck will do great in a shotgun,any High powered rifle you would use for deer will work.Alot of people like 30-30's.I prefer my 30-06.What kind of weapon did you have in mind?

They can be mean if you hem them up,mess with their young,or if they are wounded,but other than that they will usually try and get away from you.Now in Ga. you can apply for a permit to bait hogs.Seriously.New law this year.Only on private land though.Also you can use a light up to 6 volts to hunt them at night.I would rather chum 'em up,and sit up in a stand.Although it is fun to stalk them.They are great eating too!You can eat them any time of year,but if it is hot weather it is best to getstartedcleaning them within an hour and a half.

In the summer stay close to wallows,and creeks.They love to bed up in the palmettos next to swamps.Hogs don't sweat regardless of all the "I sweated like a hog" statements you hear.That's why they wallow.Usually in clay water holes.It cools them off,and the mud sticks to them.It also helps to keep the bugs off of them.When you go scouting you can smell them in areas they like to go.You can easily find trails,because they will make cow pasture like trails.Also you can follow the mud marks on trees,where they have scrubbed on them as they walk by.If it is wet,he is close.Also hogs make rubs almost like a deer,but it will be muddy/dirty,and havecoarse hair on it.We have found large pine trees that hogs have rubbed their tusks on.

If you do shoot one,and are not sure it is fatally wounded,approach it with caution.You should be fine.I hope you have good luck.You can PM me if you have any more questions.Hope I helped.
