Great tips. Thank you for sharing. If any of you live in the South Area check for Dupuis Wild Hog season in May. No quota, no size and no bag limit.

Son got his 1st Osceola Turkey last week beautiful birds got a nice little video of it on here and he got his 1st hog on the same Youth Hunt, now he is Hooked!! Any suggestions on places for hog. MWA's are a pain but looks like its the only thing.

Great video and I appreciate the info. Question: I was always told to get the meat on ice as soon as possible…that being said have you found that deboning the hog and then hightailing it to your vehicle is fine before cooling the meat? Especially with our Florida weather that is.

@floridagrownandgathered8775 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely. I was able to get it back to my vehicle and ice it down within 2 hours of it being killed which is fine this time of year when it isn’t blazing hot out. If I had dragged it out it would have taken much longer.

Nice video. I couldn’t get on a good buck this season unfortunately but the hog were plenty👍🏻 how far was that deer from where you shot him do you think?

@floridagrownandgathered8775 2 жыл бұрын

He was just a couple hundred yards from where I shot him but he had traveled a long half circle to get to his bedding area.

Good information, much appreciated. I'm going hog hunting next week on a WMA down south that has been closed due to Ian, so I'm going in blind, never been there, never had the opportunity to scout it, never hog hunted before. Interested on why you chose buckshot as opposed to a slug. The WMA I'm hunting is shotgun/air rifle/archery only, so I planned on using slugs in my 20 gauge. In your opinion is that a disadvantage over buckshot? If so, why?

@floridagrownandgathered8775 Жыл бұрын

I’ve had good luck with slugs and hogs. I usually just use buckshot because I have a hard time finding slugs that shoot accurately out of my shotgun barrel.

I’ll be starting to hunt Goethe & Ocala WMA next season & beginning to scout now. What do you consider reasonable range using 00 buck?

@floridagrownandgathered8775 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on you shotgun. I’d recommend patterning it like a turkey load to find out your range. I’m using a full turkey choke which keeps it tight. I try to keep it within 35 yards for hogs though.

Do they use the same bedding area or do they create a new one every midday? Just came from Dupuis, no sightings only deer and one turkey. First hog hunt for me.

@floridagrownandgathered8775 Жыл бұрын

They will usually use the same beds unless the area is disturbed by human scents.

How is it hunting them with a shotgun? Most spots here is shotgun and nothing bigger than #2 non toxic so I am going to go further to an area where I can use a rifle

@floridagrownandgathered8775 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not bad here in Florida. Swamps are thick so it’s usually a close shot. I usually aim for head and try to drop them.

Gotta put your own time in. Best spots are told to be the worst. Worst are told to be the best…. And when you figure out your own area holes sloughs clumps lanes etc it’s better anyway.

Great video. Word of advice, carry a sidearm and end that hog faster. FWC would love to find this footage.

@floridagrownandgathered8775 2 жыл бұрын

A good shot was made on that hog and it bled out and died very quickly (within 2 minutes). There is no state law requiring an animal die at impact of shot when hunting. That is movie stuff and not reality. I have shot hogs point blank with handgun behind the ear and they don’t die immediately. This is the reality of harvesting your own meat. There is death involved and death is seldom pretty and peaceful.
