RE: Fenced in hunt - Pig roast to follow
Maybe I am misunderstanding something. Are you talking about going to a large ranch and actually hunting supposed "wild" hogs then having a party afterward, Going to small operation where you will be shooting a hog in a small fenced in area and pretending you are hunting then having party or are you talking about going to someones farm and shooting a pig then having a pig roast?
If it's the first one and you can afford the money and have a shot at taking a decent hog in a fairly natural environment and get to keep it then I would say sure go for it. But if its either of the other two than I would say no unless you have the money to throw away. I don't have anything against it really, I just think almost $300 is a lot of money to have a pig roast is all.
From what I can gather current hog prices in MI are around $45 per 100 lbs. For 275 bucks you best be shooting a 500 lb pig!
I bet if you went to a farm and asked if you could shoot a pig for 200 bucks they would coral one out for you and say "have at it.".

Hunting tip for fenced hog hunting: Tie a string on the end of your arrow and attach a corn cob on the end. Hide in the bushes, stick your arrow thru and wiggle the cob. When the pig comes, WHAM, let him have it!
Let me know if it works lol
