Best Hog Hunter in the Ga,Fl,Al area

[baybranch02]

Who do u think is the best Hog Hunter in the area? Please dont anyone nominate theirselves, and its not going to be someone who has been hunting for only a couple of years. Finally lets keep this fun without anyone getting angry. I say Plott man Scotty Pitts from Dothan AL is the best in the tri state area and he hunts all three states and has been catching hogs for over 20 years.

[crackercurr21]

idk i know 100 of people who have been hog hunting, most for more than 15 20 yrs that dont even know how to use the internet so idk i dotn think you could put a best on someones shoulders there are alot more hog hunters than you think

[hoghunter102]

I dont think there is a best hog hunter if you got good dog and catch hogs ur a hog hunter and a good one but in the state of forida i beleave gil catches the most i've heard of.

[JohnE]

It's not whose the best hog hunter, it's whose got the best spots to go.

All a man does is let the dogs loose and get places to hunt.

[baybranch02]

Its ur opinion on who is the best and its for fun. Im not going give a plaque or award or anything. Lol The best places to hunt usually go to the best hunters around here, u have to produce results not just talk a big game.

[WolfPack]

Some people tend to forget........it is the dogs that do all the work. And like JohnE said.....if you got a place slap full of hogs.....well then....the dogs have it a bit easy now don't they?

[crackercurr21]

shoot around hear the best place go to depends who has the deepest pockets. i mean i think the last time i looked fish eating creek was 16,000 or something like that and mizell island is up there too. but i dont know where yall are from but just about every truck has a dog box and if there is a dog box it is for hogs dogs not many people runnin dear or coons around hear

[Jester896]

most of them around here have been run so much they know whats coming...just because there are allot around ...they just don't fall to pieces when the dogs come around...they change zip codes if not area codes... i think the person goes along with the dogs...if you got a fair person with good dogs is he going to catch as many as a good person with better than average dogs

X2 a hunter is as good as his dogs are. the best hunter would be the man with the best dogs and we have discussed numorous times that every hunters opion on a dog is different.

[baybranch02]

I should have put hunter/dog man. The best hog hunter would have dogs that he has raised and trained not bought. The reason i said should have been hunting for a while is ive saw a lot of hog hunters come in with a bunch of money and buy up a couple of dogs and then get out . We have a lot of hogs in sw GA and they r runners, when deer season goes out i be glad to take some of yall hunting and show u. I can already tell though some people wanted nominate themselves. Why donthog/dggers have the sense of camraderie that other dog hunters have. The other hunters nominate folks for hunter of the year, dog of the year etc, through the their association, (APA) NPHA. I know that it is an opinion on who is the best and i know everybody has hunted with someone who has better dogs than they have if not u aint hunted much!

When deer season goes out give me a call I'll go with ya.I like them running hogs.

[hoghunter102]

I second that. Sg

[baybranch02]

This is funny no one will nominate another hunter besides me and hoghunter 102. Man is everybody that arrogant?

[ThunderRoad]

Well I live next to an old timer who has caught more hogs then he knows what to do with. Honestly, he has killed more of every game than anyone I have ever met. I don't think he even knows what a computer looks like, let alone use one. Heck, I aint ever seen him on a phone. My point is how can I nominate the best when the best are the ones that you never hear about?

[baybranch02]

Its ur opinion the best u know. Ur neighbor is a prime example i dont know him, but u think hes the best. Great, im sure u mentioning him would make his day.

[ThunderRoad]

yeah i am sure he is thrilled, haha. Okay, I nominate "Drunk Jim". Been callin him that since I was a little kid.He's a good ole boy, and loves his Ole Milwaukee and Steel Reserve. LIsten Y'all, with midterm elections here, why don't you go ahead and put in a vote for my man Jim...he's fair, don't say too much, and can mow the heck out of a lawn. Much more than I can say for most in office

[roperdoc]

Best one ever is whoever just called and said "let's go!" LOL
Seriously, had a bunch of great guys help me so far and still teaching me something every time we go. Wouldn't single one out and wouldn't trade a one either.

[hog hunter20]

i dont think there is a best hog hunter but the best dog man slash hog hunter that i know of would have been gene brooks he could take a dog and make it do things most have never seen...

[roperdoc]

Most dog men brag on their dogs,not some showboat,(or even truly outstanding) individual. And if you don't think we stick together, check out the forum you're on.

These made me laugh out loud. Thanks ThunderRoad, needed that today. I'll throw another vote in for "Drunk Jim". Tell him to have a Ole Milwaukee in Mules honor since he won't be seeing this.

[Hawghunter89]

i have been hog hunting a long time and the best man i have been with would have to be pitts with his plotts .not putting no one down i just like the way he hunts he knows his dogs .He raised his own dogs picked them as pups and 90 percent of them made great hogdogs

I am honored to have you aboard my good sir...I will hand him a brew saying, "this bud's for you, Drunk Jim. From me, and Mule at the GON board."

Then he will say, "what the heck is a GON board?"
Then I will say, "Just shut up and drink you ole' rumpot"


THATS 2 FOR DRUNK JIM!!!!!

[hawg dawg]

To all the best hog hunters! Prove your dogs and yourselves by entering the wild hog challenge at Bass Pro in Macon. Let's see what you can bring in. I don't want to hear any excuses about being too far. This is the one boys; put up or shut up!Good prize money plus bragging rights. I personally challenge every hog hunter out there to see what we can bring in. It's time to get fired up!

[WolfPack]

FINE....I nominate Sean Kelly!

[southgahoghunter]

hawg dawg I will be there for sure but I wish the format was a little diffrent it kind of seems to me that any one who has some dogs can get lucky and catch one big hog I wish it was the most hogs or the most weight on 5 hogs would be even better just my 2 cents

[hoghunter08]

i live right up the road from dothan never heard of scotty pitts

Very true! keep in mind this is the first one and he had to start somewhere. I am almost possitive if we have a good hunter turn out that the SOS guy's will do another hunt. so spred the word. we need events like this.

[sammy3304]

i will have to say my daddy and papa..i have never met anyone like them when it comes to hog hunting..or any hunting..

X2 hope for a huge turn out that is just more people I can say I beat lol jk
I really do think that it will help to progress the sport and also to help presserve dog hunting in georgia something that really needs to be done there are a lot of people out there that would love to see gone

x2 on Mr.Brooks.Him and Mr.Leon came down here and hunted with me,Gigem and Bduck last year and was able to catch a real good trophy boar.Wish I could of met Mr.Joe

[SOS KEN]

HEY GUYS IT GOES LIKE THIS IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CHALLENGE !!!

BRING EM ON TO BASS PRO SHOPS MACON AND SEE WHO TAKES HOME THE PRIZED 1ST-3RD BELT BUCKLES AND CASH AND GIFT CARDS !!!. IT IS A FULL PAYOUT HUNT BASED ON HOW MANY WHO ENTER. IF 2 DOG TEAMS SHOW UP I WILL PAY WHAT I TAKE IN.

I have been talking about this Challenge for 8 months since Bass Pro Shops took us on and was kind enough to host the Challenge for everyone. I asked countless times from several doggers to give their input on the format. I listened and 90% said BIGGEST CUTTERS !!!! BIGGEST CUTTERS !!! BOAR HOGS ONLY !!! BOAR HOGS ONLY !!! THE TROPHEY IS THE CUTTERS LIKE THE HORNS ON A DEER MOST OF YOU SAID. I EVEN GAVE THE DOGGERS THEIR OWN DIVISION AND SEPERATED THE STAND AND STILL HUNTERS. Bottom Line is I have put lots of money into this thing to have fun. I knew going into this that I would not be walking away with a pocket full of cash. This is more of a prelude to the Extravaganza Convention in Perry in May which is something else I am doing for fun. IS THE FIRST THROUGH THIRD PLACE WINNERS THE BEST IN THE SOUTHEAST. THEY WILL BE FOR THE ONES THAT TURN IN A HOG WITH THE LARGEST CUTTERS ON JAN 23rd. IF THEY ARE LUCKEY ENOUGH.

THERE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT BETTER HUNTERS OUT THERE THAT WILL NOT AND CAN NOT BE AT THE CHALLENGE FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. I was given tips of several penned up Barrs and confronted one guy in North GA. He denied the alligation and called me back and admitted his intent. I then decided to take Barrs out of the Challenge because I feel that free range Boars are the most honest way to judge. You may agree or you may disagree. There is no way that I am going to make everyone happy. If your team takes down a 60 pounder with tooth picks. Please just bring it in and join the fun. I does not mean you are the lesser or better hunter. What it means is that day was not your day like any other hunting.( Who Is The Best Hog Dogger? Its Like How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop. The World May Never Know. )

LOL! I heard that We never brag on our dogs. They will make you tell a lie I will be looking for you there. It would be cool to get all the woody doggers together at the challenge. To meet, talk and shoot the Bull.

[hogdogtw008]

Well since I voted for myself for governor the other day I might as well throw my name in the pot for this too.anyone who knows me,knows I'm more than qualified for either one!!!

[crackercurr21]

I do not think that will work!

[crackercurr21]

well it was worth a shot i think in yrs to come once this gets going good w bass pro shops yall should have stores connecting the tourney so people all over can do it jm2c. if i was in talley i would be participating good luck on it and all who are hunting for it

[SOS KEN]

Crackercurr21 .... We are working on just that. This is a trial because it has never been done before. This is a trial run for fun. I just want everybody to have a good time. Maybe you can come up for the Extravaganza in May. I think its gonna fly. I appreciate your support and interest. sos ken

[MULE]

I think "Drunk Jim" could use this win. If there isn't a candidate you've got your eyes on, then by all means give "Drunk Jim" a chance to be your man.

[mountaincurs]

Ive never met him but "Drunk Jim" sounds like a heck of a guy, hes got my vote. Pass him a PBR from me.

[hoghunter74]

The best hog hunter can only be based on what the sport is all about and where it needs to go. The best hog hunter wouldn't have to raise all his dogs, but give em every opportunity he has to make a better pack. He wouldn't have a big entourage or following just some good friends or young hunters he is wanting to pass on his knowledge to. He would respect the the hog, not slaughtering all he comes upon, but preserving the herd trying to make it better for all. He wouldn't be invited to go hunting somewhere and try and take that hunting spot from that person. We have all been with people like that. I came from a family of bird dog and rabbit dog hunters and learned to hunt hogs from the best hog hunter I know. After 17 years of hunting with this man I only gain more knowledge and respect after every hunt. I have even been taken my 6 year old son with me every weekend since he was 5 getting him started on the hog hunting plan. The best hog hunter I know is Rocky Tanner.

LOL, It would be good to meet new hog hunters and listen to their stories. I love a good hog hunting story even if it has been told 100 times. We'll see how these Alabama boys can hang with the GA Boys, man I got goose bumps on my arms just thinking about it.

[ThunderRoad]

Ole Jim is a heck of a man. Here is a direct quote from him sittin in the driveway with a cheap cigar in one hand and a 40 oz.'er in the other, " Son, I have killed dang near every animal with 4 legs or wings in the south...in dang near every way possible, legal and illegal". Direct quote.
Funniest part was he used to be a park ranger in Arkansas or somethin.

He is like Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. And I dont know if he is a PBR drinker or not...but since we have already derailed this here thread...This is too funny, and I know you fellow rednecks will enjoy this.

Drunk Jim the outlaw gets my vote
Sounds like a good guy to me .

HAHA cant put a price on excellence .

[Jester896]

i am leaning that way too F C

[chris1990]

I havent had a chance to hunt with many other people,(Im always game to go though if anyone wants to get together)so I cant really tell you who the best is but imo it comes down to the dogs.There the ones that are doing all the work.

I agree a good hog hunting story is good no matter how many times you hear it.

Sure is. Did ya'll check out all of the doggers on the other post. I had no idea we had so many. We got to get everybody together at the hog hunt to tell some lies.
