My son drove to Florida from Maine to hang out with a Army friend he was in Afghanistan with. They planed on hunting the Apalachicola National Forest for hogs and coyote. But he said its loaded with people hunting with dogs cant seem to get clear of people. Knowing what I know about hogs if there is alot of pressure they can be very difficult to successfully hunt. Can any of you recommend a area where he and one other could hunt? Public or privet? He dont need shelter he has that covered. His buddy lives in the Destin area but they are willing to travel.
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness

I mainly hunted central FL when i worked down there. GREEN SWAMP WMA near Lakeland. It was loaded with hogs. Contact FL game commission site. A map of all the WMA's is there & there are many. Some allow dogs, some don't. The best hunting is near the waterways or cyprus heads. The hogs like to lay in the palmetto patches around the wet areas. Look for rooted up areas & wallows. I used to stand hunt around fresh sign first hour of daylight & then still hunt rest of day. You can often hear them before ya see them. Not sure where Destin is but if they decide to hunt GREEN SWAMP private message me & i can give ya my old hunting spots. 6hr 40 min away from him. Destin is west on the panhandle.
