my buddy has a sod farm and he had to get a permit to shoot hogs at night. we killed one once and the warden came out and ask us for it, thank god he had it. i'm pretty sure it's illegal where i'm at in florida. thats the southwest part of the state, Desoto county to be more exact

Zester, that's the first time I have heard that and I have been doing it for close to 50 years! Hogs in Fla.are only
legal game on WMA's and can only be hunted in season and no night hunting. On private property you can hunt hogs all year-round and run the dogs, kill the hogs and at night!

checked with somebody
it's a permit to have a spotlight and firearm at night

What state are you in?

florida
i ain't liein
they've told me stories of how the warden pulled them over and had to show it.
i'll ask again, maybe i'm wrong.
but when we go out at night we can only have a certain number guns in the vehicle

i've heard that too. a friend of mine checked with a gamewarden friend of his. i think it's becuase you'r using a spotlight and a firearm only.

hunting with dogs at night is leagal. a friend of mine used to do it all of the time. we're actually thinking of getting a couple of dogs now.

Hey Reb,
When I lived down there the only guy I knew that hunted Hogs said he used American Bulldogs. Is that common and does it sound like they would be a good dog for that

Danny, I crossed Calahoulas, Rhodesian Ridge Back and Pit Bulls, cause it gives the right heightand powerful jaws. If the dogs are long legged, they get thier bellys cut opened easier, if the legs are to short, they can't reach the hogs ears to good.
All hog men do thier own crossing with the breeds they like and I crossed mine with the ones that gave me what I was looking for in a catch dog!

so can you use a spotlight when your hunting with dogs without a permit?

Zester, on privateproperty, you can go naked if you want!
