Did anyone attend the December 7-9 hunt on Ossabaw. How was your trip and success ? Ours was very wet and no pigs ,but we saw several deer. The pig eradication is extreme compared to last time we attended.
The game wardens run dogs and kill 2,000-3,000 hogs a year. They are trying to protect the sea turtle eggs. I went about 10 years ago and saw around 150 hogs in 3 days. The last time I went, 3 years ago, I only saw 1 and shot it.
U guys aren't making me optimistic... spent 3ppoints on drawing Feb hunt .. never been on ossabow before but was looking forward to it.
Don't want to spend 3 days looking for something that is rare.
The little I know about hogs... doesn't make sense that it could've dwindled so quickly even with brute force of a full time sharpshooter
My buddy and I will be down there with you next month. It's a routine trip for him, my second. We went November of 2015 and I got a deer first day, about 5 min after sunrise. He got into a mess of piggies. I remain confident that we'll get some, but is depressing hearing the much lower body count. We both like to cover every bit of the zone on foot. Brought my climber last time and never used it. Lots of walking. Camp can be a good time too, depending on weather. Great to be away from the bustle of mainland.
Look forward to meeting you... I will be the lone guy camping in a hammock
I went January of 17 and saw over 20 pigs. You just got to go find them.
