Looking for a Hog hunt

Thanks JimRaby...that sounds like a good price...but was hoping for something a little closer so wouldn't have to fly.

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

well thats why you just move to Texas, and Never go back !!

Wish I could....just told my wife yesterday ....if we win the lottery, we are buying 1000+ acre ranch in texas...full od deer, turkey, and hogs!!

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

that's a great price! might have to look for some cheap airline tickets. Do we need to buy a licence and such?

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

In Texas you do have to have a minimum of a five day exotic permit to hunt hogs.

best of luck

What part of TX are you located?

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

How much are the 5 day licenses? Around here in New England we had to pay $600 for a canned hog hunt. So $250 for two hogs is much better, even with airfare. If we fly in, how do we get the meat home? Pack in dry ice and ship Fed Ex ground?

Non resident five day permit is $45.

best of luck

Bull,

Check out Addisons' Wild Boar Hunting web site. They are located in central Georgia. His operation is in Dodge county, but he lives across the river in Wilcox county. The owner, Bob, has been hunting hogs since he was a child following his father.

I've never hunted his land or stayed at his lodge, but hunted with him when we were young men, back in 60's. I've been to his lodge as a guest for a meal, nice place.

Hope this helps.

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

There are several places in South Carolina I would recommend if you are wanting to use an outfitter and free range.

1st - Bostick Plantation ( may be a little pricey but they have some huge hogs) http://www.bostick-plantation.com/


2nd - Cypress Creek ( a little bit cheaper than Bostick, good hogs, same part of lower S.C.) http://cypresscreekhunting.com/welcome.html


3rd - Gohagen's Guide service ( I have hunted with Marion a bunch of times and he is the man when it comes to hog hunting with or without dogs) http://www.gohagansguideservice.com/


Buck and Boar Plantation is the only commercial high fence enclosure in S.C. that I am aware of, so avoid that one if it has to be free range. Hope this helps you buddy!

RE: Looking for a Hog hunt
 

I would suggest that no one ever go to Bostick Plantation. I was there in Sept '07 on a throphy deer and hog hunt with a total of 30+ hunters. This was a four day hunt. There were a total of 3 deer seen (one doe killed) and 9 hogs (7 were the size of footballs) Of the two hogs that were killed one was killed next to the hog pen where they raise them. The place is falling apart and is now just a money operation. Very disappointed Very few animals. One of the hunters put out a trail camera on the corn feeders for four days only to get rabbits and squirrels.

Where are you located here in Texas? I would possibly be intrested in the hog hunt.
