Last year I tried to get together a hog hunt here in LA on some local public land.  As many hogs as there were last year, there are even more this year.  I killed 3 in 3 days last week a rimfire, squirrel hunting.  

Last year thing just did not work out as far as timing and different SILLY regulations.  But this year, I have taken those into account.  

Here is a link to last years post with majority of the details.

I would like to keep this group on the smaller side(no more than 10).  

This hunt will have to happen in January so we can chase both Hogs and Deer.  If anyone is interest, please let me know.  I would love to share a camp fire with you guys.  I can guarantee pig sightings, but can't guarantee we will kill any!      


Just spoke with the local wildlife agency and the best deal would be to go one of the last 2 weekends in January and each individual would need to buy a $36/day deer license.  This would allow you to shoot both deer and hogs with a bow and cover your wildlife permit as well.  I hope we can get a small group coming this way.

Sounds like a blast!

I may be in depending on the timing, but don't worry if I cant work it out.  I have one weird and crazy work schedule.

added more info in the original post!

Daniel: I was on the list last year. Would love to, but need to check a few things out before committing.

Wayne,

Come on!  I hate that things didn't work out last year.  This year we have it more figured out, at least i think.  Pig numbers are through the roof this year.   I got on pigs every day I tried.  Some days I just chose to deer hunt instead.

That sounds awesome!  Unfortunately, while teachers do get some decent time off, we don't get to choose when it is.

Brad,
you are right my friend.  I am a teacher as well!  You're in missouri, it wouldn't be but a manageable drive in one day!  Come on man!  IF you wanted to come down sooner, come on!

I'd be interested as long as it doesn't interfere with our youth season. I take my kids hunting almost everyday of youth season to take up my slack and fill the freezer! I'll read thru last years thread and get back to you.

I'm very interested. I love in south arkansas, about 2 hours from Monroe. I'm a chicken farmer and scheduled to sell birds the middle of January and should be at least a month before next flock. So end of jan is perfect. I am fairly green to trad but have killed several hogs with archery equipment. Sounds fun and I'll keep in touch.

It is open to whoever!  We can have this hunt on any of the following weekends..

1. January 15,16,17
2. Jaunary 22,23,24
3. January 29,30,31

Which ever weekend best fits y'all, let me know!

Hmm this is looking promising let me check my shift schedule.

This is sounding good. If I was come down what is the camping like? Would I be able to get by with a floor less pyramid style tent? I use this tent in AK.

Either of the later 2 dates would work better for me. That's after our youth season is over.
Hey Marty, if it works out maybe we can camp together if that will help out on how much gear you would have to bring. Plus I could pick you up in Shreveport on the way, and drop you off on he way back. ( might be cheaper flying into Shreveport and would save you a car rental )

Hmm I might need to rent a car from br. Might be too cold to take motor cycle for 3 hours lol

Absolutely!  there will be a shower house and electricity hooked up to the camps.  My father in law has a possible 2 beds, and I have a pop up camper I can pull down there that has a queen and king bed in it.  Bring whatever you want, but we will have a good  bit.  I have 1 confirmed so far.  

I am getting excited already!

I'm in. Like Randy, the latter two weekends are best for me.

I am definitively interested, When you get the dates down I can see if they will fit in my work schedule.

I am 90% sure that I am in. It would be great to see old friends and meet some new ones!
