HOG killin in SO. GA.

[Head shot]

Been down south a few weeks helping a few guys with a mess of hogs.Aint never seen anything like it,they came in on a p-nut crop 2500 ac. & 1000 ac. of beans. never seen that kind of damage before,There was 4 of us shooting dusk & dark took 106 hogs & pigs before they wised up to us.Gave alot to the food bank & some to the locals.The heat was to much to bear,hope to go back when it cools down some. We were using 25-06,270's,300WM they all did a good job on hogs. DO any of Ya'll have hog problems this bad in your end of the woods. If so I sure would like to hear what Ya'll are doing on your end.
We're doin traps,dogs, shootin a lot. thanks GUYS.gun)

My buddy's family has had a lot of hogs on their place. When they looked into having folks come in with a helicopter they asked how many they typically kill on a helicopter hunt. The last two nights from the helicopter the least they had killed was in the mid 70's. For the rough, dry country we live in, that is a lot more than we expected. I can't imagine how many we'd have if we had peanut fields.

I know what you mean I cant imagine shooting at night or being able to use helicopters.I think when we go back we'll be able to shoot at night with a crop damage pass.couldnt even get a head count at night to many to much movement.caught 60 in traps,dogs got another dozen in 7 days.No end in sight.gun)

That's crazy. I'm over toward Augusta and I'd love to be able to hunt in an area like that.

Well went back last week,I truly dont know how to help these folks stayed 6 days & nights shot 78 hogs between us caught 21 in traps & 9 more with dogs.But really cant tell that it helped We still seen pretty big numbers in the fields at night Guess we'll take a break go again.gun)

Head Shot, I am moving to Columbus Georgia next month. I picked up a Remington R-15 in .30 Rem AR for the sole purpose of hog hunting once I get there. I figured I would benefit from having a solid semi-auto platform and this 30 RAR really seems to be a thumper. I shot a 3-point muley with it last week and it dropped in its tracks with a double lung shot.

Sounds like you are actually doing this as a service?

Well just got back again,Maybe we did a little good before only took 60 this time 24 boars,But I think deer season had something to do with it alot more people in the woods.I think we got alot of the big ones but there is a truck load of little & medium left.Going down when deer season closes.Going to help a new land owner in columbus after XMAS I love new woods.gun)
