Spent three days on the Ft with my buddy on his first pig hunt. It was a great time. We ended up killing three and missing a couple running shots. All three were killed with my new 6.5 Grendel build. I am really liking the performance of that caliber.
Will any of you stay in the FS campground? I plan on doing some hog hunting before turkey season starts and will be staying in the primitive camp sites. Would like to meet some of the out-of-state hunters.
We have not been staying at the campground for the past few years. Our group has grown to the point where we needed 3 camp spots and we could not guarantee our reservations consistently. One of our group is a caretaker of an old hunting lodge on 1200 acres just north of Pembroke so we stay there now. A little more driving each day but it is nice not having to worry about campers and camp spots.

I'm coming down with Tracker12 and 5-6 other guys. We'll be staying in the Holbrook tent camping from the 4-11th. Come by and say hi. That Tracker guy is a little suspect but everyone else is cool.
Well Ive been here for last 4 1/2 days . There was a group of 30 hunters not 1 pig shot. Plus myself and my son, plus 3 other groups . Not 1 pig killed 3 seen during hunting hours. The pigs are completely nocturnal. My son bumped one and missed.
As far as camping there's 12 spots . They are still doing construction. If you have a big group you'll be put in the big open spot
Up front and the only way to access the other campsites is right thru the middle of that front spot so you'll have people driving thru your camp all week.
And also from all the burns palmetto bushes are everywhere. Very very tuff hunting and impossible to be quiet. If you do bust them its like quail hunting. The old dnr office is now by the dog boarding kennels and you need an Isportsmen account. There is how you buy your permits ,small game licence ,and sign in and out to hunting areas.No more call in system. Make sure!!!!! Your paperwork is right and weapons are registered.
