Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately all my friends with access to private land use it for deer and they don't thing I would find hog there. Iv heard hunting hog in NC is really tough without a dog and I might need to travel further south. Georgia is a good destination and I could make the trip but probably could not find land there that I would not have to pay a lot of money for (we are all broke college kids anyways). I do like the idea of disperse camping on public land and hunting. Being completely secluded would be a cool experience with a few friends but the hogs might be too hard to find. What are your thoughts on this? Hunting on public land is harder but is it doable? I'm looked to spend a little under a week doing this so we do have plenty of time to look for them.
