Hunting
Warning: Reading these adventures could be hazardous to your health as it may cause you to slide on some camo and head right out to your favorite WMA in 100-degree weather. This article is my personal hog-hunting diary for my annual “Summer Sausage Run,” which is enacted every August and September. I usually only have…
Deer season had only been out 10 days. Many hunters were taking advantage of the two-month break between chasing whitetails and calling turkeys, but not Blaine Burley, of Wrightsville. On this cool January afternoon, he had a post-hole digger in his hands, slamming it 2 feet deep in the Johnson County soil, where he had…
The 2007 SEEDS Big-Buck Contest winners, Matthew Price, of Ellabell, and David Roney, of Vienna, went archery hunting in Texas in December to collect their grand prizes in last year’s big-buck contest. Matthew’s south Texas deer and hog hunt took place the first week of December, and he killed two spikes, two does and two…
Despite their appearance, boars are some of the smartest and quickest animals alive, therefore hog hunters often need a little scent assistance to help bring home the bacon. 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…
There are pigs, then there are big pigs, and then there is another class called humongous. The pig Marshall Powell and his hunting buddies killed in Johnson County falls into the upper end of that humongous-hog category. The pig, killed near Wrightsville in an Oconee River swamp, weighed 890 pounds. By any designation, that’s a…
For most folks with Georgia’s Wildlife Resources Division (WRD), wild hogs are nothing more than a nuisance. They destroy food plots, roads and forest land while competing with game species like deer and turkey. For many hunters, there’s nothing else they’d rather do than hunt a wild hog. Many claim they like the fear factor…
When a 9-foot-long, 1,100-lb. hog was killed in Fayette County it became a story that spread like wildfire — literally going around the world on the internet and in the media. CNN, Fox-5 News, the local papers, radio stations from Seattle and Los Angeles to Jacksonville, and the Discovery Channel contacted Bill, and even the…
As the long, hot days of August roll in, we all look forward to those great tailgate parties. What better meat for a tailgate party than a big, fat Georgia hog. With Squirrel season opening August 15, a bigger game season opens as well, feral hog season on Georgia’s Wildlife Management Areas. Most WMAs are…
