Can you hunt hogs in Oaky right now, Like this week? Also, If I am hog hunting during deer season do I have to have the Big Game license?
Oaky is open for small game now thru 11/28 so you can hunt pigs with small game weapons only during this time frame. Yes if you are hunting hogs during a deer or turkey hunt you need a big game license and your weapon needs to conform to those that apply during the game season open at that time.
Are there potato farms around here? I’ve lived in Cochran my whole life and never knew of a single potato farm. Mostly cotton, soybeans, and corn.Good luck. The pressure from the deer season is going to drive the hogs to the potato farms.
That would great thank for the info looking forward to seeing some new landBoth are crawling with pigs. I have taken several hogs from both, most with. .22mag during small game, but I got a few during big game hunts and the hog/coyote mini season in May. Ocmulgee has more wet bottom land and creek bottoms (which hogs seem to love, the wet soil makes for easier rooting) and there is a ton of soybeans/corn right next to WMA land. None of it will be in the ground once you hunt, but it helps support a larger pig population through the summer months, which means more pigs in the winter. I’ve been all through the woods on both properties. If you want to PM me I can send you some coordinates where I’ve found pigs in the warmer months. Can’t promise they will still be there in the winter, since I focus on deer during deer season, but I did shoot at two pigs the first big game hunt on Ocmulgee, and saw at least another 5 or 6 from my climber. My brother saw a few as well. I’ve been putting pressure on the area I hunt since August and the pigs are still there.
Yes there is one large one that I know of and the owners land runs right down to the Ocmulgee River.Are there potato farms around here? I’ve lived in Cochran my whole life and never knew of a single potato farm. Mostly cotton, soybeans, and corn.
I’m gonna have to look for it. Thanks!Yes there is one large one that I know of and the owners land runs right down to the Ocmulgee River.
Much appreciate the response. I’m going to begin studying maps and build a game plan. Like is said this would be our first experience at this going in blind.Seen a lot of hog sign at oaky woods the week after thanksgiving.
I’ve had a lot of luck getting in close in palmetto patches. The dense palmettos usually block their view so you can carefully sneak into 20-30 yards.Much appreciate the response. I haven’t told my son yet but we have been watching some YouTube spot and stalks and he keeps saying he wants to go. He will be excited.
