Hog Hunting
 

Im In Missouri And Have Wanted To Hog Hunt For A Long Time. Archery That Is. I Would Like To Have Any Possiable Contacts For Hog Hunting In The South. Private Land Or Public. Thanks For Any Info.

The hog forum I belong to is TexasBoars (http://www.texasboars.com). Down here in Texas there are 4 primary ways you get access to hunt pigs:

1. Have family with ranch land
2. Buy into a hog lease, or a deer/hog combination lease.
3. Go to one of the many day-lease hog places.
4. Sign up at one of the Corps of Engineers public hunting areas.

I started with day leases when I lived in the north and drove down, but now that I live in Texas I have a deer/hog lease. There are people who find ranchers that let them hog hunt to reduce the crop damage, but it is rare.

What exactly do you want to know? I can tell you where I've gone, but there are hundreds of day lease ranches. I'm in the process of planning a hunting trip for a couple marine brothers, one that's in A-stan now and the other is a reservist about to go to Haiti. Here's a shot of the last time I took one of them to the lease. We used guns, even though I'm a traditional archer at heart.
