How can you offer unlimited hog hunting, aren't you afraid of over hunting?

No . No other large animal can reproduce like wild hogs. They have huge litters for an animal of their size (150-400+ lbs) more than 10+ per litter is not uncommon. What's worse, they begin reproducing at 6 months of age. Left unchecked, the numbers in a food rich area, can get out of control very quickly. We must harvest 8 out of every 10 , JUST to keep the population under control, anything less and the population grows.

We patrol farms nightly that are in hog hot spots. The reason they are hot spots is because of the location to swamps,  nasty thick hardwood bottoms. They are incubaters for the hogs. They randomly trickle out onto the farms at night. We might see one, we might see more than you would imagine. Our job is to kill them all. We wouldn't be welcomed onto the land we hunt if we didn't hunt it in the best intrest of the landowner and farmer.

Why do you hunt at night only?

That's when the hogs are out in the open. Hogs are very intelligent. Once they experience hunters during the day, the will become nocturnal. Once nocturnal, they live in the deep, tangled woods and swamps during the day, and in the night destroying crops and food plots.The thermal scopes we use can see them at great range and in complete darkness. We see them long before they even know were there. Hunting at night allows us to maneuver in close and take multiple hogs per stalk.

Isn't it dangerous to shoot at night?

No. The 'shooting' aspect of the hunt is very controlled by the guide. We pick you up a few hours early the first day and familiarize you with the equipment you will be using. You are given an in depth safety briefing and live fire instruction by your guide to make sure you are comfortable with your weapon and optics. We do extensive scouting during the daylight hours. We know the location of any structures, dwellings or equipment before we start planning our hunt. These are fully guided hunts and your guide will not put you in an unsafe position.

Won't the natural predators keep them in check?

No. Past 20-30 lbs coyotes have difficulty taking piglets alone, and cant prey on a healthy adult. They defiantly eat a few, just nowhere near the amount needed to keep them in check.

When do wild hogs mate?

Sows can have up to 3 litters in 14 months with up to 13 piglets each litter. They breed continuously thru out the year with no specific time of the year dedicated to breeding. When they are done with one litter, they have the next, and at 6 months of age, THEIR offspring are ready to breed. No other large animal breeds as often and as successfully as the wild hog.

What damage can wild hogs really do?

Hogs plow thru dirt like man made farm implements, tearing up anything in their path. They are intelligent, strong and can weigh up to 400 lbs. Fences, gates,and wildlife feeders, can all be knocked down and push over with ease. They will eat everything including other animals, especially the young ones. Fawns won't run when they are within a few days old and quickly gobbled up .Clutches of quail or turkey eggs are a tasty treat, even the mother if she's still on the nest. Wild hogs are not only competing for the food the native species needs to survive, but actually preying ON the natives species themselves! From extensive crop damage to native game and habitat destruction, hogs can cost landowners from several hundred dollars on the low end to tens of thousands of dollars on the high ends.

Where will I stay while we hunt?

What happens to the hogs that are shot each night?

Our hunters can take all of the meat from the nights hunt home if they wish, or it can be donated to those families that need it in and around the Albany Georgia area. For an additional fee, your guide can' field butcher ' your hog leaving you with a cooler full of the best pork you'll ever have! Your guide will field dress it free of charge if you would rather butcher it yourself. It is excellent table fare and a real treat on the BBQ. All animals shot are either taken by hunters, or donated to family's in need, free of charge. Hunters choice

What if I want to have my trophy mounted?

Your guide can cape your trophy for you for a small additional fee and take it to a local taxidermist for whatever type of mount you and your taxidermist decide on. There are several for you to choose from, we can help you with that decision when the time comes.  

What weapons will we use on our hunt?

We typically shoot hogs well under 200 yards, average I would say is 75 yards.. We use 75g BTHP hand loads from Hornaday. They are devastating to hogs and with no recoil, follow up shots are easy and effective.

Its a widely held belief that 223's aren't enough to hunt hogs with. That is simply NOT the case. "Back in the day" when folks first started using 223's to hunt hogs in TX there were no other readily available 'hunting' bullets for the 223. You used 55g FMJ, pitiful performance on any large game. Now with dedicated hunting rounds for this caliber, the 223 is a VERY deadly, easy to shoot platform for ethical hog hunting. We have well over 1000 hogs that would agree with us..

How many people can hunt together?

We will take a max of 4 hunters ( 2 shooters at a time ) at this time on spot and stalk hunts. In my opinion, the best hunt is 2 people. When we hunt these hogs, we treat it like a bow hunt, spot and stalk, trying to get our shooters inside of 40 yards before the first shot is fired. The more people your trying to get into close range on these hogs the more likely it is for someone to make noise or get spotted before we are ready.  Its just not a 'group' activity.

When is the best time to hunt?

This is a very common question, also a very difficult one to answer. Because we hunt all year long as a hog control company, we have access to dozens of farms all with a need to have the hogs, ALL hogs killed on their property. When we get new property's that have sever infestations, the shooting on them for the first few nights/weeks can be full of multiple encounters with large numbers of hogs. If the property WAS formerly infested,when we patrol it regularly we may not see a single hog, we might see 150. You never know. THATS WHY ITS CALLED HUNTING!! We can't predict when a new property will come in or for how long it will have hogs still showing up. As we apply pressure and kill hogs each night, their presence diminishes. Our goal is to find hogs and kill them, not to 'Manage hogs'  at the farmers expense so we can book hunts when we've let them build up enough to ensure 20 hogs on the ground per night. If we can't get you a shot opportunity we will take you another night, its the best deal in the industry. My suggestion is hunt the weather your most comfortable in and the moon for the hunt you prefer ( long range or short range) On bright nights we will typically shoot hogs from farther distances, on dark nights we are able to get closer and moving undetected is much easier. 2-6 hogs is typical harvest for a night.
