Florida Hog Hunt

[jphilp87]

I'm scheduled to go visit family in florida mid may. My dad and I are going to try to make a hog hunt while I am there.

I have never been. I have hunted deer for several years, but this is new to me. Any advice?

Bring a big enough round. Are you hunting from the tree or ground?

I'll have a 30-06 and I'm not sure what he will have. I think we will have the choice of either tree or ground hunting. We will be on a friend's land who hunts hogs every now and then.

Its way more of an adrenaline rush with a couple of dogs, and a knife.




It takes a gun to shoot a deer, it takes balls to stick a hog

You could always do it the really old-fashioned way and get yourself a big ol' knife, lay on a low-hanging branch real quiet like and that goes above a place where you know hogs run, and when one comes under you, drop down, hold on, and stick.

By the way, did I mention HOLD ON? haha

Most calibers that work for deer will work on hogs. I've used 7-08, 30-06, 50 cal ML. Don't try head shots. Broadside through the shoulders and you can't go wrong. I've never had one run more than 50 yds with the above rifles.
