My son and I were planning on a bear hunt to Canada in June, but with covid and other issues we decided not to go north. We still want to go on an "Adventure" and he suggested a hog hunt down south some where. The reason its in June is we both have the first week of June scheduled for vacation and cannot change it. I know it gets a little warm in June but we could bring a freezer with us. As always on our "adventures" we have no idea where we want to go. Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, ??????? I thought some of my trapping family down south could steer us in the right direction. Once we have a state picked out we can concentrate on licenses, rules, limits, ect. With our drive time down and back we would probably stay 3 or 4 days to hunt. Unless we are real lucky right off. My son has started doing a little research on it, but I thought I might get some good information here. Thanks for any help.

Take lots of ice each time you go and qtr them immediately. I'm leaving for Florida in a few weeks and hope to get a few, maybe several. I have orders to let no pig walk off.... after my gobbler of course.
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

We know it will be hot no matter what Southern state we end up in. We can make it through, plenty of water and plenty of cool down breaks. I would be willing to trade a Hog hunt in June for a deer hunt on our property here at home in October.

I get huge coolers from my local farm supply store, last week they had a pallet full of them all I wanted for free great for shipping taxi or unfinished stuff out they would be spendy if a guy had to buy them. One I’m taking to OK I did not know they made them that big.

Y’all eat them nasty things? We just caught a big boar, sow, and 5 piggies. The sow wouldn’t be half bad nor the little piggies, but if you can smell it before you get up to it, all it’s good for is pictures. That smell is how it will taste, lol! You know, I've heard this, almost verbatim about a 1000 times. But it doesn't even come close my experience. We've shot half a doz big boars up to 400lbs and they were all delicious.

I eat rutting buck deer meat. Don’t all pigs smell? Except from the grocery store. Cow’s smell un-butchered. Turkey’s are stinky too. I plan to shoot and eat a hog now that I’m in the great state of Arkansas.

Shot a rutting mulie once stunk bad and the meat stunk the same way it was nasty, that said I’m not looking for a State Fair hog anyway. LOL

My son has started doing a little research on it, but I thought I might get some good information here. Thanks for any help. You'll have fun. Yeah, it will be warm but it's not like you need to hunt all day. As mentioned above, Oklahoma has a ton. I welcome all to come shoot them. We shoot probably close to a hundred a year and it doesn't even put a dent in the numbers. Most are in the fall while hunting or on the wheat driving around. I will eat one small sow out of a hundred hogs. I leave the rest for the coyotes. Kind of like pre-baiting.
