Wild Pigs
Wow; anyone watching the Discovery Channel and the shows about the wild pig population explosion.
Maybe I should sell my fishing gear and buy a 270 with night scope:D. About 15 yrs ago, I hunted a quail plantation in South Carolina and we saw the destruction they can do to a farmers field in a single night. They did hog hunts as well as quail hunts on the same property. I guess they are expanding at a rate quicker than they can be harvested. 5th (Marty) |
Marty,
I went to SC a few years ago and hunted wild pigs. Some of the pigs are domesticated feral pigs and some were Russian Boars. The hunting was in a marsh next to the Santee River. Our giude showed us where Francis Marion the Swamp Fox ambushed and killed a bunch of British soldiers on the Old Georgetown Rd. This was just a piece of high ground that went through the woods before you got into the open area of the marsh. We killed three pigs, and slowed cooked one for a neighborhood party. It was really good, but you need a Lipitor for dessert. |
The show " The pig bomb" has been aired several times. Not only do the pigs eat a ton but they destroy the land. They are fun to hunt but their population has gotten WAY out of control. They have a big problem with pythons in the south too. Good show.............Gary

There was another show about monster wild pigs.
Some was sorta urban legend but a few were proven to be over 500 lbs. Screw the .270 - grab a .300 magnum for one of those beasts. |
and i was thinking they'd be a lot more fun on light tackle. :eek:

Good point...Marty don't you have some nice heavy duty trolling gear that might work on them there peegs ?

Hunted russian boar a few years ago with my brother in north carolina. Fun time on the ground stalking with bows. Meat was delicious...............Mark

Anyone know of a good outfitter in NC that does hogs? I'd like to get in on the action. Yummie

If you look at hog hunts, they will have several ways to hunt also; possibly foot hunting, deer stands or blinds, or with dogs, comes to mind. The place I quail hunted was Bullock's Plantation (I think that's how it's spelled). It was a great father/son quail hunting experience with my son and our dog (along with some plantation dogs). My son was about 14 and I wanted to make it a place with lots of birds and shooting opportunities. We had a blast. Good luck 5th (Marty) |
