In Memory of Jimmy Carter

Remembering Jimmy Carter

Today, we pause our usual discussions on Hog Hunting and Outdoor Adventures to honor a remarkable figure: Former President Jimmy Carter. As we reflect on his legacy, we are reminded of his deep roots in our local community. Plains, Georgia, his lifelong home, is just a stone’s throw away from Americus, Ga, where Hog SWAT operates and shares in the beauty of the land he cherished.

Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, leaving an indelible mark on the nation and the world. He was celebrated for his dedication to public service, unwavering commitment to human rights, and significant contributions in the fields of peace and humanitarianism. Beyond his Presidency, Carter’s Humility and humanitarian efforts through The Carter Center showcase the enduring values of compassion and community.

At Hog SWAT, we have the privilege of traversing the fertile Farmland of Plains, GA—a land that has witnessed much history and the simple joys of rural life. As we navigate these fields and forests, we can’t help but feel a sense of connection to The Legacy of Jimmy Carter. His love for the land and commitment to conservation resonate deeply with our core values.

Today, as we view the landscapes he once roamed and picture the local community he embraced, we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Mr. Carter’s life and work continue to inspire not only us but countless individuals around the globe.

As we Remember Jimmy Carter, let us carry forward his spirit of service, compassion, and dedication to our communities. May his legacy remind us of the importance of kindness and connection to one another, as well as our bond with the land we cherish.

Thank You, Mr. Carter, for your service and your unwavering commitment to bettering the world. You will be deeply missed but always remembered.

The first field held a couple of nice-sized Boars. The Stalk was muddy and wet, but fortunately, the rain had given way. They closed to about 60 yards when we set up and fired a volley. Nailed ‘em! That was the easy part. Afterward, they dragged our pigs about 400 yards through the mud until they could finally hitch them to the Hog Van and get them to the Hog dump. Then proceeded onto a few more fields and didn’t find much luck. Eventually, at a large peanut field, they found 6 Smaller Pigs; however, the wind switched up on them and they got spooked. They headed down the road a bit and immediately saw about 20 Wild Pigs in a Large Sounder. As they got close, it became apparent that there were more like 50+ Hogs in a Mega Sounder! These Pigs had no idea what was coming, and we fed them lead. After the dust settled, our Hunters got exactly what they wanted: 8 Suckling Pigs for a total of 10 downed throughout the night!

They found their first Pig in a Cotton Field. It was a tough Stalk due to the low light conditions and the noisy crop. They ended up getting a very spirited Boar who decided to charge at them instead of run away with the others. Afterwards, they covered a ton of ground looking for some more Hogs until they finally found a nice Big Blonde Boar. The Wild Hog was situated at the very top of a high crest which made things difficult, however they got it done!

Zev was able to get this clean wild hog down. While it isn’t the biggest I am sure others were hit. It is Corn Planting Season so now is the time to protect farm land for farmers. Book A Hunt and see if you can stop these wild hogs from stealing from farmers.
