"I am very late in writing this review, but I rarely pay attention to reviews and just now saw some of the negative ones on Yelp. My experience has been one day hunts. I came up empty on 2 of my 3 hunts, one of which was treated as a "come back hunt" and did not cost me the full price to return. Tommy and his guide, Matt, have always been accommodating. My brother-in-law from NY state was with me for our day hunt where we came up empty, and he is returning as a "come back hunter" in January 2024. They keep their word. I went alone in August on another day hunt, arriving late afternoon. Matt showed me a trail camera that had photos of hog activity near one bait site. Matt dropped me off at the tree stand around 5:30 pm and stayed in contact, offering to change my location if there was no action. I remained, determined to stay until a hog showed up, and sure enough, at about 11 p.m. a hog showed up and I got a successful shot off. Matt came back out to confirm my kill, as I could not determine if I had actually dropped the hog. Matt was great, even was excited for me (basically a rookie hunter at age 69), as the hog was just under 300 lbs. Matt dragged it out of the site and drove back to the lodge where he cut up the hog and packed it for me into my ice chest, finishing at 2:30 a.m. Yes, a separate fee is paid for cutting up the hog, and yes, a tip is expected. But, hey, they respond to you when you contact them from your location, regardless of the hour of night or day. And if you're new to hunting like I was, you get treated respectfully and can observe how the entire process goes and aren't made to feel stupid. As a hunting novice, no way could I have by myself done the loading of the hog onto the trailer, hung it from the rack, cut it up, and packed it properly into the cooler. I can't imagine working a job where I can't get off work until my customer gets tired or succeeds on the hunt at different, random hours of the day or night. Hunting, as I'm told, provides no guarantees that you'll come away with your intended prey. As an additional observation, Hog Wild has also improved its lodging, which I have not used for overnight hunting but have seen when I needed to use the restroom. My impression was a very clean, recently renovated lodging facility. You can't please everyone all the time, but Hog Wild has done right by me. I'm looking forward to seeing them again with my brother-in-law in early January!"

"Back again for our annual trip. Went 1/14/22, Wes was our guide. We stacked up the biggest pile of pork ever! They focus on safety and making sure all the hunters are comfortable with each situation. Highly recommend Pig Problem if you are in south Georgia and are looking for an exciting, memorable hunting experience."
I know it sounds crazy, but these are the idiotic rules at a nearby military reservation that is infested with feral pigs: only rimfire weapons / ammunition are allowed, or shotguns with T shot or smaller, to hunt hogs. I figure if I can find an accurate rifle / load capable of penetrating the...
I am about to finish building out a .22 ARC AR for coyotes and foxes at night. I am scheduled to go to Florida in February on a hog hunt. I typically use a 6.8 SPC AR-15 or my .308 AR-10. Will the.22 ARC be effective on hogs out to about 300 yards or should I go ahead and build a .6mm ARC upper...
A few years back I took a hog hunt with some friends. We took 7 hogs on that trip ranging from 200-380lbs. Used a variety of rifle and pistol rounds. I took one with a .308 custom load using a Nosler ballistic tip in 165g. It was a perfectly placed shoulder shot that went thru and thru. I was only 5y away.
I have a savage 110 hog hunter in 350 legend. I shoot 180 grain winchester power point through it. also tested federal 180 grain power shock. pictures are a 4 shot group at 100 yards. 2 rounds of each. it puts great holes in deer size game.
I’m looking to get an AR for hog hunting and wanted something in between the .223 and .308 AR’s I currently have. I’ve got a CGS Hyperion K on order so it will be suppressed and potentially have a thermal. I currently have a Falkor Petra and wouldn’t mind going with their 6.5 creed but not...
Re: .44 Magnum Hog Hunting I use 240gr RN very hard cast, 12.5gr of Unique with a mag pistol primer and a heavy 0.010-0.015 roll crimp. Runs around 1450 fps from my 9.5" barreled Super Redhawk. The hard cast doesn't deform very much and just drills through whatever it hits, so for deep penetration on a tough animal like a hog. For jacketed bullets, 240 or 265 Flex tips are good stuff.
I currently have an 20 inch .224 Valkyrie that I use for hogs. I don't hunt them very often, but I'm looking for a different upper or new rifle to use with my supressor. Since I have the supressor I would like a 16 inch for maneuverability. So what caliber would be best? Also recoil plays a...
Anyone have plans for a box hog trap with a Guillotine style door? You will catch more with a falling spring shut door rather than a guillotine door. When one hog goes in, other hogs will push their way in through a spring door when the see the first hog eating something.
Kentucky Finalizes Hog Hunting Ban In Kentucky, the Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is finalizing a ban on hog hunting following a vote by the state’s commission in December. According to the agency, hunting is working against eradication and trapping efforts by educating wild pigs, making them nocturnal and...
I have a Savage hog hunter in .308 that I'm looking to upgrade to a LR rifle. I'm wanting to convert it to a removable magazine and upgrade the stock. If I buy a Bell and Carlson stock that is for a mag fed rifle and buy the stealth bottom metal from PTG, would I need anything else to do what I...
