This time we took Champ out in Rutledge, GA for a solo run and got up close and personal with a big mean sow. Champ is considered a rough bay dog, which means he will bay by himself until another dog gets there, and then will help catch. In this instance, I was the other…
There are still hogs on Beaverdam WMA, but not like there were 30 years ago. GON reported in 1991 that the middle Georgia WMA outside of Dublin on the Oconee River was on the verge of shattering its wild hog harvest record. After archery season and the first two gun hunts on the then-16,000-acre WMA,…
For Martin Richter the hunting story started with his maternal grandfather, Richard Link. The time was shortly after World War II in the late 1940s. The place? Bamberg, in what was then known as West Germany. Fast-forward to last month. Late afternoon, Richter is somewhere between Brunswick and Jesup, some 35 miles from the Georgia…
If you’re looking for a hunting opportunity this time of year, you might want to consider a trip down to Florida for some wild hog hunting. During spring and summer, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) offers public hunting opportunities for wild hog at 26 wildlife management areas (WMAs) across the state. Wild…
Close to the house over in Rutledge, Georgia filming this video with Brian and Wes. We started the morning slow, walking for a couple hours with no fresh sign, but when we finally found them, it was chaos. We had dogs scattered all over the place and were able to catch a couple big boars.…
A trip down to Jesup each year for the Wayne County Hog Jam results in the local board of tourism hosting a large crowd of fine folks—plus a huge pile of peeved and formerly pugilistic pork! The 2021 Jam, for instance, held Feb. 19-21, resulted in more than 3 tons of wild hogs being hauled…
We took Champ up to hunt with my good buddy Luke Gunter in Clermont, GA. The land we were hunting was right along the Chattahoochee River, and the only way to get there was by boat. We loaded up the dogs and headed out. After about two hours and a couple unsuccessful jumps, we finally…
Daylight, 35 degrees and a big sow was well within rifle range. It was an exciting start to the Cumberland Island youth deer and hog hunt on Dec. 19, 2020. It had probably been a decade or better since I’d spent a few days on a Georgia barrier island looking for deer and hogs. In…

The situation may not have been hopeless, but I had given up all hope. My peaceful Saturday afternoon of sitting quietly in a ladder stand waiting for a delicious doe to stroll within bow range had been rudely interrupted by what could only be described as hog warfare. The racket they were making 200 yards…
