If you were nearer FL you'd have people shooting everything that moves and paying $25/acre to do it


Couple months ago went to a outdoor show.

Kinda local to me “outfitter” was there. BS’ed with him a minute.

Asked him how hunting was… blah blah.

Said hogs were about to put him outta the deer business.

Tearing up everything…. Add the climatic movie music.

I asked if he does hog hunts. I wouldn’t mind killing some during off season.

Oh yeah. A trophy hog hunt is $500.

How many hogs? 1.

WTF??

You over run with hogs but want folks to pay $500 per pig?

Lawd have mercy.



I don't feel one bit sorry for the guys whining about hogs ruining their land if they charge through the ass to shoot them.


I don’t charge for access but I also rarely give it out. Used to have an open gate policy till I realized that pigs had never thrown beer cans in the pasture, set up where they would be shooting towards the field my kids are playing in, cutting donuts in the creek Ford so that it was unusable without dozer work, caught bass and left them laying on the pond bank, etc. but I’ve had hunters who wanted to help me with my hog problem do all those things. So between the two I would rather deal with the pigs and can see why some landowners charge for strangers to hunt pigs.
