Went on my first hog hunt with a knife last turkey season in Steinhatchee. Got 3 hogs down at the same time, you talk about a testosterone rush!!! Had to get to em quick before they had a chance to take out the dogs. I use a 4" Cold Steel folder. After the first time, your'e hooked!!! Got 2 of them but the 3rd broke loose, they only went about 80 pounds but they're the best for eating anyway. Guns or bows ain't allowed because of the danger to the dogs!! Gonna buy a Cold Steel boar lance and go after them with the bay dogs instead of the catch dogs. They hold em in a circle and you get to go after the hog one on one with the spear!! Reb, maybe we can hook up for a hunt,,I'm in St. Pete and hunt Avon Park,,HUGE hogs there!!

Hey Smitty, I use to go to Steinhatchee when it was in Cross City!Been to the new location also and have taken many hogs. Did you go tothe Hiching Post in Steinhatchee? It's just before you get to Jena Beach.
Hey you did'nt go across the road into Buckeye Paper Co., did you?

Also, if you hunt Avon Park, you better have snake boots!

I know it is crazy but it sounds like a rush! Just imagine your heart pounding real hard, breathing like crazy, eyes wide open, hearing just the dogs baying, the smell of the oinker, the smell of the earth and mud and trees, then BOOM! Ya have a heart attack and die! What a rush! I get talked into the most stupid things so why stop now! I think it would be wise not to come close to these guys untill my kids are finished with univerity! LOL but sounds tempting!

HB76,I didit for over 50yrs and only been charged 5 0r 6 times. The biggest danger isto have someone runningbehindyou with a loaded shotgun or rifle. That's a NO-NOwith me!Side arm and sticking knife only! This is with dogs of course. Hell, down here you have to worry more about the Snakes and Gators, than you do the hogs!I would like to take you one time to see the expressions on your face!!!!!

Yeah, nuts is when you pick them up from ground and you see something you never seen before, the other end of your pecker!!

I won't mention his name, but he belongs to one hell of a huntin club!! Has about 30 dogs,,deer, catch, bay, and coon, Loses about 2 a year to the pigs. He has 2 bigboars locked up for training,,neither one has 2 complete ears!!

So is this the most danerous thing that you guys can come up with? Did you guys find jumping out of a perfectly good airplane too boring? Man you guys must live off of adreninline. I am guessing no one at the club drinks coffee?
Does anyone who sticks pigs know about the dopemine addiction? This is for real. A customer of mine told me about that when I told him about the things we do for fun(mild by comparison).

I'm in Lutz, 20miles north of Tampa and about 30miles east of New Port Richy off of HWY 54. Smitty I have'nt gone in the last 4yrs cause of Femoral leg by-passes and last year I had emergency gallbladder surgery and now I have two small aneurysms that I am watching every 6 months with Cat Scans. AH, the Golden Years!I'm 66.
Smitty, I have beento every WMA in Fl.. more than once. I plan to go this year with a cross bow for the first time....for deer. I'm trying to get all the info I can get from these guys. I believe it's going to be the Exocet Package. I will have to go to Bass Pro in Orlando. I have the Barnett dist. about 9 miles from me, but decided on the Excal...
