I was invited to go down and hunt Ft. Stewart with an awesome Person. Some of you guys on here probably Know him "Capt. Stan". It kills me that I haven't taken him up on that invite YET! Some of the pictures and stories he shared with me really got me goin. He probably knows that area better or as good as anyone. He is the man on Ft. Stewart

***Hunting with big game firearms is allowed only in certain areas during this period. Hunters using big game weapons must check in to hunt "hogs" or "coyotes", not "small game". The automated system will not allow hunters to check in to hunt "hogs" or "coyotes" in areas where hunting with big game weapons is not authorized. Hunters checked in to hunt "small game" may take hogs or coyotes with small game weapons. Areas designated for hog hunting with big game weapons will be jointly agreed to by DPW, DFMWR, and DES staff prior to the start of big game season. Unless agreed otherwise, areas east of Hwy 119 will be open for big game weapons in the 2011-12 hunting season, and the designation will alternate between areas east and west of Hwy 119 in subsequent years.
****Hogs may only be hunted in "Archery Only" areas during turkey season. Turkey hunters may take coyotes using turkey weapons in "Rifle" and "Shotgun" areas.
*****Turkey Weapons-Modern Shotguns and muzzle-loading shotguns with # 2 shot or smaller. Long bows, compound bows, and crossbows with scopes are allowed.
You can hunt in areas A, B and C with centerfire rifle..........choose option 8. I talked to Mr Harvey and that's the info he gave me. Just call the automated call in system.........it explains it pretty well.

I have been in C-18, C-17, A-1,A-2, A-3, A-16, A-17, A-18,B1, B23, B24 all within the last 3 weeks and have seen 2 hogs which were to far away to shoot. Even ran into the man the other day in B-23 and have seen nothing in the woods but old roots. I ask him where to go for hogs and he said stick to all the F areas, that is the only place there is anything. So headed up that way.

Actually if you hunt East of 119 leading from Ft Stewart to Pembroke, you can still use rifles and you have to be wearing orange. That is in the revision.
Because someone is confused about the regs? As far as I'm concerned my tax dollars are supporting that base and if anyone should get to hunt it it should be me !

Not exactly so. I am told by the GW that any center fire rifle is okay for hogs up to Turkey season. You must stay in Alfa, Baker and Charlie areas and when you check in you must use the hog option.

Jim, you are almost correct, you can hunt the A,B and C area with any rifle but you have to be wearing your hunter's orange to do so. Any area that is East of 119 is Rifle. All the D, E and F area are small rimfire or shotgun. But I will let you know that alot of the areas are closed the next couple weeks due to training. I live 15 mins from post and hunt some areas almost every day. Also, there are not very many being found or harvested, most are moving at night and since you can't hunt here at night. Not alot of action. Myself and my children went out and walked the B and C areas for about 7 miles one day and 8 the next, and seen alot of old signs, nothing fresh, no matter where you go.

Im with you.
Your tax dollars are paying for alot of things you dont get to use; tanks, helicopters, aircraft carriers.... In fact, your tax dollars are paying for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Im sure you could be of some use over there.

Went out a couple hours this evening and seen one hog, which the vultures were pretty happy with, would say about 150 lbs, before hand. 2 turkeys and about 6-8 deer ran the road in front of me. Back out again tomorrow....
