Tink’s Power Pig Dominant Boar Urine and Power Pig Sow-in-Heat are the keys to leaving the woods with that porker in the bed of your pickup. Power…
It’s 0100 hours and pitch-black dark as my team and I await our target’s arrival. We’d been briefed just hours before of the mass amount of damage our targets have caused. These beasts have destroyed other’s means of life, they’ve taken hard-earned crops away from farmers and they’ve had little to no regret about any…
Deer season has about run out. It turned into a job — slapping 4 a.m. alarm clocks and lugging climbers around — didn’t it? Ready to get that predatory surge of adrenaline pumping through those hunting veins again? It’s time to hunt hogs. If you love to hunt and have never stalked hogs, you are…

For most folks with Georgia’s Wildlife Resources Division (WRD), wild hogs are nothing more than a nuisance.

When I first saw the black hog trotting between the palmettos, it was only about 30 yards away, heading right for me. Best I could figure, I’d put about 10 miles under my boots in the last two days to get myself in this position. Just because hogs can’t see or hear very well doesn’t…
• Saturday, June 11: When light hit the ground, I felt strange. Sitting a foot off the ground in a roomy box stand with my .243 rifle propped in the corner, I was ready if opportunity knocked. The thought that the chance could arise where I’d need to look through my scope and squeeze one…
“I hate hogs,” Ricky Crook said to me across the front seat of his pickup. If anybody hates hogs, it’s definitely Ricky. “I killed 35 last week,” he said. Thirty-five! Good grief, the man does have some kind of hog problems. Ricky deer hunts several tracts of land in Sumter County. One tract he hunts…
