[cesna250]

Where did you get that?!

Oh thats not me. Out of the American Hunters magazine. Just an example of whats out there though!

 

[RGriff69]

I'm going to Fiji diving next year. Found out, the resort offers a wild hog hunt. I'M IN! It's spears and knives only. No firearms on the island. How freaking cool will that be!? Dive a couple days, hog hunt a couple.

I've always said if I had the chance to do a hog hunt, I'd use one of my Mosins, maybe, well, most likely, an M44.

Custom recurve bow would be my choice of gear

It is fun. You can do it in Florida too for not too much money. It's a hoot.

cant miss with eith the .308 or the .270, the 30-06 to me is not a flat enough shooting rifle cart.

i havent been hog hunting before but plan to go soon as well. has anyone used dogs and spears or anything of the sort. i was thinking about doing that. heard it was dangerous but i'm not really if its a terrible idea or not

 

[daedrian]

I have used spears. It's fun, just got to be careful. Best to have at least one other person with you.

I am interested in doing this as well. A friend of mine goes to Tennessee to hog hunt, I may have to tag along.

I'll be going hog hunting in the spring. Looking to take one or two 6.5 Grendel rifle. Possibly also a 7.62x39 rifle and a 5.56 rifle. From everything I can tell, a 5.56 is plenty of gun for a hog.

If you have an AR that has fast enough twist for a 70gr bullet, take an AR.

Forget hunting hogs for sport. Think of it as population control and public service.

Kill every single one you see. Trust me, they are NOT in danger of population shortage, and probably never will be.

Its not what you use-Its where you put it. I used a 7 mm remmag on the first hog. Three shots in the chest & a hour chase. Next time behind the ear no chase. Gradson used a 20 ga slug no problem. Have fun

The goal is to bring back meat, not trophies. Population control is key.

We hope to bring back one full/dressed out hog that we can roast at the 1101 Cigar Lounge in a pit (Hawaiian style) in the yard next to the parking lot and give away to customers.

I'm building a custom bolt action 6.5 Grendel based on a CZ 527 for the trip, just bought the donor rifle to use for the conversion to 6.5 Grendel.

I've also to a 6.5 Grendel AR15 for the trip. I'll be lending a couple guns to others going on the trip, very likely a 7.62x39 AR15 and a 5.56 AR15 as well.

I've hog hunted in Florida before down between Tampa and Orlando. My buddy is actually one of the guides for a hunting outfit there, so I hunt for free. I've seen guys take them with anything from .223, any of the bolt action rifle rounds, compound bow, crossbow, use dogs and a big blade, stalk them, shoot from tree stands. The options are pretty limitless. The first one I ever took was done just stalking them and took about a 20 yard shot with a .357 ruger blackhawk on a hog that turned up a trail directly towards me.

It's an absolute blast any way you cut it.

Can you provide a link?

yeah does your buddy have a website? Would he do a INGO discount?

They charge that much... because they can! As long as people will pay it, they will keep on charging high prices.(and complain about how big of a problem hogs are)
