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.





Haha, I’ll take your word for it. My experience has been 100% the opposite. 100# or under maybe, 75# or under preferred.

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.

Are y’all looking for a DIY or guided hunt ? I know some guys that do guided hunts at night with thermal that I could put you in touch with.

Went out to check traps about 1:30 and ran into 4. Should have grabbed a rifle to take but had been working on truck and decided to take a break.

There is no shortage of hogs around here and I'm sure any of those state you listed have plenty.

Kill as many as you can

In June I would try to find some outfitter and go on a thermal hunt, too dang hot in the daytime, another option is to bow hunt at night if you bowhunt.

Lots of public land opportunity in SE Oklahoma with lots of hogs for a DIY hunt. They will be running the river bottoms and creek bottoms in June. Only problem with public land is no baiting. Everyone hates hogs here.

Not sure of other states but you can pretty much cross out Louisiana for June time frame. In my opinion Texas is your best bet, and they have the different species that gets massive.

All wild hogs taste great, the boars have this shield that is hardened fat that they use to charge with, along with their cutters. The charge can and will break leg bones, hip bones, not sure if anything is immune, so just be aware of that.

One word for June hunting down south- CHIGGERS. No thank you !
We always do our hog hunting in early March or late Feb.

Hope you enjoy the adventure you found OP.
