ORIGINAL: Southern Hog Hunting
In LA. you can carry a pistol to bow hunt hogs.
In FL also, but not during Archery Season only in General Gun Season.
There is no season on hogs or a limit just no night hunting.
Here we can hunt them all year round on private property only and night hunting also. On WMA's, only during hunting season and no night hunting(half hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset). Some WMA's have no size limit and some they have to be 15" at the shoulders.
You can not use a small caliber handgun during bowseason for deer unless its ratshot.
Here no side arms during Archery.
