Checking out Florida hog hunt operations.  Does anyone have experience with the Northern Florida hog or hog/deer hunts offered by Archery Outfitters?

Never hunted with them myself. But Nickie does donate hunts to TBOF every year for raffles during the State championship shoot.
A lot of folks have hunted with him, so you should get a decent response to your inquiry.
I'm not positive but I believe their Hog hunts are only over feeders.

PM me and I'll send you a list of other good operations. First need to know what type hunt your looking for. Feeders, Spot and stalk, tree stand, dogs?

Never hunted hogs with Nickie Roth, but hunted his Montana property for deer. Wasn't very pleased with the experience.

I have hunted three times with Nickie in North Florida for hogs and I have mixed feelings.

The property is loaded with hogs. It is stand hunting over feeders on cattle raising land. He will assign you and your friends to an area with stands to accommodate all of you. Mostly ladder/hang ons well within traditional archery distances.
Great looking land full of palmetto bushes and normal habitat for that area, really unique.
The downside is he only allows you to kill males. Thirty hogs may come in but by the time you can positively identify a male in the squealing, twisting herd of hogs, they are gone.
He only usually hunts one weekend per month so the hogs are not pressured (and in my opinion) could allow one "any" hog per hunter.
Guides will help you retreive your hog, and will skin and quarter for a price if you desire or you may use the lighted skinning rack, with water, and they will take care of the remains.
Camping at the land is beyond primitive so we always stayed 20 minutes away at the hotel, nice but not real cheap.We packed four guys in one time( two beds, couch and cot) to keep the cost down.
Nickie and his guides are good guys and easy to deal with. Bookkeeping was not his strong suite and I would make sure they have your money and know you are coming.
Things may have changed as I have not been there in the last 3 years.
I would go every year if I could shoot at least one hog regardless of sex but that is just my personal thoughts.
He stays pretty booked up and a lot of return customers.

Hunted in Florida with Nickie......property is GREAT.....lots of pigs .......as for what he says and promises....better write it down and /or record it......have mixed feelings also about his operation for pigs......as stated before, you will be assigned a stand over a feeder......NO stalking was allowed at all when we were there......the camping area is PRIMITVE to say the least....we drove 13 hours to hunt and he was 3 hours late to let us in the gate......not a great way to accomidate seven hunters with cash money......but....you will see pigs, lots of them (or at least we did) and get to sit in the sunshine......

I hunted his S FL land last winter.  I think the other guys here summed it up well.  There are lots of pigs on the property, to the point the they've rubbed through most of the trees within a few hundred yards of the feeders.  They are all wild, and I don't think excessively hunted, but they will be quite wary by Saturday evening and may not even come to the feeder.

I didn't have the poor experiences some others report, but personally I will probably try someone else before I go back.  I have at least one guy in mind, pm me for contact info.

Hunted with Nickie and company twice in 94 & 96 I believe.  We hunted whitetail in southern Georgia in January, 6,000 acre farm.  Great experience with good success.Would be glad to share more detail if you're interested.  Good luck.

Hunted his Florida operation for hogs in 07.  Wasn't pleased and wouldn't go back.  Best of luck wherever you choose.
