I have a nephew that lives in Richlands, NC and several of his buddies have taken hogs recently. My family and I are planning a vacation in May and I am communicating with my nephew regarding doing a trad hunt for hogs during the vacation.
I've learned that public lands are closed to hog hunting except during other "game" seasons (i.e. squirrel, quail, deer, turkey, etc.). That means a private land hunt I guess.
Just wondering if anyone here hunts hogs in NC.
turkey season will be open till the middle of may so you could hunt public then. that said, I go out of state to hog hunt.
I didn't even think about Turkey season (even when I typed it above). I'll check the dates. Got a good lead on some public land. Hoping my nephew has some good info for me also.
Thanks.

There you go! There are hogs moving into a lot of NC. New proposal to let you shoot them and coyotes at night.
