Hog Hunting in Georgia

Wild boar hunting isn't for that weak of heart. Wild hogs are intelligent and very harmful creatures when wounded. Lately I'd the great fortune to search what many southern hog predators believe to become the #1 place for boar hunting in Georgia.

In extreme southern Georgia close to the Florida condition line and also the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is Bear Run. It provides exceptional bear hunting, hog hunting, whitetails, alligators, and poultry!

According to my go through the wild hog hunting at Bear Run must rank one of the better southern hog hunting facilities in Georgia. It's situated on hundreds of 1000's of acres of handled timber. The coverage story is mainly Pine, having a couple of scattered Trees. The underbrush is thick with Palmettos, briars, and wild blueberry. In a nutshell, perfect terrain and canopy to aid a remarkable feral hog population.

The very first day of my search was opening day's Poultry season. Late that mid-day I started walking the logging trails. I had been wishing to place an outrageous boar around the trail for any clean open shot.

Soon after beginning out I had been rounding a bend within the trail after i place 9 wild pigs rapidly relocating my direction. Moving carefully within the shadows from the pine tress I aim to maneuver in close enough in my Grandfather's old open sights hog hunting rifle. Five from the feral hogs are about 100 pounds and also the other four are 200 pounds or even more. Just like I had been raising the.32 Winchester Special to consider goal around the biggest wild boar the wind changes direction and also the wild hogs carried out an immediate disappearing act. Poof. These were gone!

Constantly attempting to keep towards the shadows from the trail and also the wind within my face I proceeded just to walk the logging trails for hrs. On several occasions I'm able to hear the hogs moving with the Palmetto however the underbrush would be to thick to determine anything.

About forty-five minutes before evening fall I sit lower along the side of the logging trail to take a rest and also to past a while and so i would return to the rendezvous point at dark.

Located on the way and taking pleasure in the quite sounds from the forest, with no seem of traffic and just and periodic chatter of the squirrel or perhaps a Blue Jay calling you realize you're far from civilization.

All of a sudden my deep condition of relaxation is interrupted through the explosive seem of untamed hogs running with the Palmetto. They stopped running and that i can learn about six maybe seven different hogs grunting in various locations about 60 yards where I had been sitting. And That I hear they're moving closer.

No sooner had I elevated my Grandfather's hog hunting rifle than the usual good-sized feral hog of approximately 200 pounds arrived on the scene to the logging trail.

The hog had clearly met track of some hog hunting dogs previously since the ears and also the tail have been chewed off. All this registered very rapidly when i targeted. All of a sudden I hear the explosive seem from the.32 Winchester Special and that i observe that I'd designed a clean shot.

After waiting a couple of minutes I walked to in which the hog joined the forest on the other side from the road as well as on the whitened sandy trail was the very first manifestation of a great bloodstream trail.

Among the best areas of hunting at Bear Run is Jack. He is a big Golden Retriever educated to stick to the bloodstream trail of Bear, Wild Hog, or Whitetails. I understood this hog wouldn't be lost because of the dense undercover. And So I start to mind to the rendezvous indicate get together using the others and mind to the hunting lodge for supper.

Following a scrumptious southern meal supplied by the proprietor JT and the wife all of us loaded in the trucks with JT's dog Jack to retrieve the hog. The Palmetto leaf which i had stuck within the logging trail enables us to obtain the bloodstream trail within the pitch-black darkness. After preventing the18 wheeler JT straps a cowbell around Jack's neck as well as in a expensive he was off within the forest.

All you are able hear may be the clank from the cowbell and all of a sudden there's silence. JT yells, "Jack are you currently there?" Jack responds by moving just a little therefore we could hear the clank from the cowbell. Once in awhile JT yells "Jack are you currently there?" therefore the guides can locate the hog. A couple of minutes later the guides return dragging the wild hog in it. For me personally it had been the final outcome to some very effective day's wild hog hunting in Georgia.

So if you're searching for an outrageous hog search with almost 100% possibility of success where the feral hogs are abundant and big then Bear Run is the site to visit for the best southern hog hunting in Georgia!
