Who’s down, hog hunt 😳😳😳😳

I’m going this weekend (26-28 August 2022) provided the weather doesn’t get crappy. I will update this first post on Thursday.

• Location: Hannahatchee WMA
I’m going to do some scouting tomorrow, 24 August 2022.

Allowed to “primitive” camp on the WMA. If ya don’t wanna camp, I’ll post a link here for other accommodations around the area.​

I am going to bring:
1- 4 man tent that connects to a 10’x10’ canopy
1- cot
1- Sleep system
1- Fire Pit
1- propane black stone 17” with griddle equipment.
1- chair
1- camp table​
Note: Bring rain gear…. It’s that time of year.

Firearm: Shoot whatever. I’ll be shooting a rifle.

If you can’t make it within the next couple of weekends, post the dates below when you can go and we’ll see if we can get a group, (large or small) to join from ODT.

This would be a 2.5-3 day 2 night trip.

If your worried about cell service, I’ll let ya know if I have it after tomorrow, 24 August 2022.

Tag folks you think would enjoy time way to break the monotony of their Day- Day. Get out into nature and possibly take an Oinker or multiples:)


Feral swine can also be hunted on Federal lands and state Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) in Georgia. However, there are additional restrictions on hunting on public land. On public land, there must be an open season for a listed game species. The hunter can only use the weapon or weapons that are legally allowed during the specific season in question. There is no limit on the number of feral swine that can be taken on public hunting lands during the appropriate season. It is illegal to hunt feral swine on public land at night. Trapping feral swine on public lands in Georgia is also illegal.

medium187mph medium187mph ….. what say you?????

I’ve got some stuff already lined up so I can’t this weekend.

Ps, I don’t think you can just take whatever rifle. I do believe you have to use weapon for the game you are hunting. That would be squirrel so a .22lr or black powder (maybe shotgun?)

Even though hogs are invasive, you have to use the weapon for the avail game that’s legal during that time.

The last few times I went with a 10/22 and a big blade… please verify so I can sleep lmao
