Bound and determined to kill a pig before I leave Georgia.

[MissouriBoy]

Should I just drive to the country and knock on some farmers doors and see if they want som pigs dead? Are there any message boards or online forums that advertise people looking for help eradicating some hogs? Also, do processors cut these feral ones up, or do you have to do it all yourself? We don’t have this opportunity for killing them in Missouri, and we will be moving back there fall of 2021, so I’m wanting to bust a few while I live here!

Any public land south of atlanta is a good bet. Small game season will open mid August. I saw 2 on public land this morning. You can hunt em bout 6 months out of the year if you chase em when something else is in season. As for door knocking, ugh... good luck with that. It's Georgia, pretty much everyone hunts. Farmers ain't in short supply of friends and family members to do the pig killin for them. Advertise to trade a Missouri deer hunt for a Georgia pig hunt and you'll probly get some takers!

Good point about the ample amount of hunters, and farmers knowing them. I’m going to try and keep looking. I really can’t afford $500 for some of these guided hunts.

I’ve hunted Oaky Woods and Robins AFB. Only saw hogs on the base. I didn’t kill them because I didn’t know if anyone processes them around here. The mandatory base hunting class said that almost 60% of them killed have brucellosis. Being new to all this I guess I need to look up ways to harvest them without getting that stuff.

That...and they STANK when it gets Hot? Hunt those river systems & you’ll have success.

Wear disposable gloves when you're cleaning and butchering them, and you'll be fine.

When squirrel season opens up August 15, go to Chickasawhatchee WMA. Check the rules and regulations for legal weapons before you go.

Beaverdam wma has em to.

I use to hunt Beaverdam every bow season . Me and a few friends would camp for a few days at the river campsite and would usually run out of arrows . Before they put gravel on all the roads they were covered with arrowheads , of course I never picked any up ?

My club is right across the river. We find pottery and arrowheads.
