  • Jan-Mar is the best time for me taking big hogs around 300 pounds. The acorns are all gone and the deer hunters are no longer baiting. Big hogs need to eat so they go back to the large natural food sources. Hit those fields right now for those big monster hogs.

    Hogs are going through the new growth to get to the cut wheat laying on the ground. This pattern is still paying off for the Mailman.

    There are certain food sources that produce huge hog numbers at certain times during the year and right now is one of them. If you have property with wheat on it.....now is the time to set up on this food source and stay put. I took 8 off a small wheat field last night and I will be hunting this…

    Landowners are cutting fields for the first time this year and it's a great time to get out there after some hogs.

    March brings in the spring as we approach turkey season. This also brings in a time of year that I consistently take large hogs in the 300 pound range. Most of times I see mating behavior as the spring comes in and I have been able to capitalize on this time of year. Trail cameras are key to…

    One of the best times to catch hogs in the open early in the evenings is during rainstorms. Many times I have been out in a light rain with distant heat lightning and the hogs hit the fields. Check these the n

    Mailman's grandson Ethan Wisnewski aka E Money, scores on his first hog hunt. The Wisnewskis stalked in on a group of hogs and took a nice sow out of the group for Ethan's first hog harvest.

    As deer season comes to an end,seasonal hunters no longer provide bait for their feeders which drives hogs
    back to their natural food sources or the few feeders still running. If hog hunters continue baiting at this
    time they will see increased activity as feeder numbers have dropped…

    one boar and a very large sow.

    Got a chance to take my son and my two nephew's hunting last weekend. I told them as we went they had first shot unless the big boar showed up I had been hunting for several years.

    The hot summer presses on and vegetation growth in the field is at it's peak. The hogs in the Upstate are waiting near bodies of water a little longer until the night cools down to hit the fields. Ditches with water are key bedding areas.Bait spots closer to cooler areas with water are more…

    Looking for some advise. My dad and I recently lost a lease we had in SC. We hunted pigs on that land for years. The question is, I've mapped some game lands that the distribution list says has pigs on it. Has anyone had any success hunting them on game lands? If so, any tips. We are not sport…

    Gamelands are tough because hunters cannot bait or hunt at night on these properties. Targeting neighboring properties is the key.

    Here is a picture of a giant hog that I killed earlier in the year. It was a hunt that I will not soon forget. I hunted this guy for a month solid before dropping the hammer on him. Once I got my first trail cam picture of this fella I knew that I wouldn't quit until he was in the bag!

    Hi Everybody new to the site. I used to buy the Carolina Sportsman Magazine when I lived in NC. I have spent six years away because of my job but, there is a possibility I may be returning home to NC. I am just wondering where the populations of hogs are? I know they have always been out west,…

    I'm going to be on vacation in the Outer Banks in July, in South Nags Head. I'm looking to possibly do some hog hunting while I'm there. Is there any public land, or any farms that are looking for people to get rid of some hogs, in the mainland near the Manteo area? If anyone knows of a spot…

    I live in Wake County, moved here recently and I've never got a hog before, never even been hog hunting. If anyone knows of any farms looking to get rid of some hogs, or any fellow hunters want a respectful hunter to do a little hog hunting with, let me know.

    Thank you.

    Good afternoon everyone. I'm new to the site and would like to ask anyone if they would be willing to allow me to hunt a hog on their property and I would allow you to hunt deer or turkey on mine.

    A Florida hog killed by my wife with her bow.

    Does anyone have any reports/sightings of wild hogs along Town Creek in Brunswick County, or anywhere in the Winnabow area? Thanks
