Hello there fellow pork producers. I have a question in regards to what a "guided" hunt for hogs is and how it is conducted from YOUR location. I realize that each area of the country has its own unique land and I wondered about the differences in style. I would also like to know what is considered a reasonable fee. Also what is you success rate. Are you high fence or free range.
I will start: I hunt north Florida around Mayo. I hunt a pine plantation and most are taken over feeders or walking the roads. We use anything from 600 Wetherby magnums (no joke, someone used one) to a McDonalds drinking straw. Just get them killed. The terain is not conducive to spot and stalk but more like spot and jump 10 feet in the air because you almost stepped on them. I would say we produce 1-3 piggies about 70% of the time. Cost is reasonable....free. You just have to be able to carry corn.
