Wild Pigs Are Taking Over America

[Todd Huey]

How many did your group shoot beyond 150 yards? In 10 years of hog and deer hunting 95% of the animals killed were well within 150 yards. The longest was just shy of 200 yards.

You can get up close to hogs here at night just stay down wind out average shots are well within 100 yards usually within 50 yards. If you want to shoot long distance you can most of the fields I hint are on average 1000x1000 yards with wind breaks inbetween, but I prefer to get close.

Todd where in Texas did you hunt? I'm looking for a place to take my grandfather that's not canned.

It's interesting that not long ago the news was reporting that there is a shortage of bacon. That map would indicate otherwise.

I hunt farms, dairys, and Ranches across the North half of the State. You can try dry creek outfitters in Wichita Falls, or Hunt F.E. Hill ranch they are low fence operations but I have never hunted with them.

Not much bacon on feral hogs unfortunately.

Has anyone ever gone on a hunt in NC? Me and some friends are looking to go on a hunt. Figured it would be an easy 3-4 day trip. I've heard that some actually give you a 100% guarantee you will bag a hog.

I wonder what one would weigh out dressed, this being wild would be much leaner than store bought pork. Country ham and lean bacon!!!!!!

The 100 pounder I shot had plenty of fat. Hog means something.

Be glad we don't have Japanese Hogs https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/world/asia/radioactive-boars-in-fukushima-thwart-residents-plans-to-return-home.html?smid=tw-nytimesworld&smtyp=cur&_r=0

That looks almost as fun as the helicopter shoot.

They shoot them and run over the pigs. It is kind of crazy.
They need to do a serious car wash after.

Hate to ruin a good thread, these feral pigs need some help.
