Georgia hogs......more questions page 2

[ron w]

Sometime down the road I'm making the move to Georgia to be near my daughter and her growing family. Hunting hogs would a pastime that I plan to indulge in. Just how far north to hogs live in Georgia.

I've seen them all the way up in South Carolina along I-95. I travel to Tn at least two time a year and have seen them right on the edge of the road. A buddy of mine hunted near Estill, SC and they had a a lot running around there. Not real sure about the west side of GA.

Ron, we've even got a few here in metro Atlanta.

I hunted them by Estill S.C. but I talking about farther north, like near Lake Lanier or there about. Looking to move near Gainesville maybe....

Thanks in advance Ron for scouting them out before buying a house, then inviting me down.

I live near Dawsonville(16 miles from Gainesville) , about 6 miles from Lanier. Check out Dawson and Cohutta WMA's for hogs in the northern part of the state.

Northern Ga you'll have a lot of walks in the woods with zero opportunities for a shot before you do get a chance. The good thing is you're only 3 or 4 hour drive time from real good hunting south.

Thanks for the info.......

I live in N Georgia and drive south to pig hunt. There are pigs all over the state, it's just hard to hunt them in the mountains. They roam a lot in the hills, here today and gone tomorrow. There are deer and bears to hunt in the mountains too,and lots of squirrels, and the country is beautiful.

From Macon south, there are lots of pigs, absolutely a problem in some areas. Those river swamps are a whole other kind of beauty. They roam too, it's just that there are more of them.Also the walking down south is mostly flat.

If you move to Gainsville, look us up , North Ga Traditional Archery.We Have monthly shoots and I'll bet you'll meet some hunters that will point you in the right direction. Lots of us go on hunts together.

Ron when you get here let me know! I live in Buford about 15 miles south of Gainesville

You can likely find hogs in most any part of the state at one time or another, but for consistency, I would say central to southern Georgia would provide the widest range of locations and opportunities. Contact RC. He is the PIG MAN!

Lots of pigs in the n ga mtns if youre willing to walk. Pm me when you get here. I usually know where some are in the national forest.

Hey Ray.......my daughter is in Lawrenceville. She was living in Buford. To all, thanks for the info......

[Sam McMichael]

ron w, when you get down to Georgia, hook up with some of the TBG members. There are guys all over the state who will be glad to help.

[tracker12]

They are in northern NC so I think you will be safe in most anywhere in the state.

[hogless]

Their are hogs on most of the wmas in north ga national forestland north of the gainsville

Pigs tend to concentrate and expand along river drainages so you may want to look at rivers that run all the way into the southern part of the state where the pigs are more numerous.

[The Night Stalker]

Tony, where are they in northern NC

[Dan bree]

Would like to know about northern nc. Also. The ride  will be closer to. Nj.

I would rather drive a few hours and hunt a couple days and see pigs than drive a few minutes and walk tough terrain all day and probably see nothing. South Ga rules when it comes to pork.
 I have friends that have lived in the North Ga. mountains all their lives and they are hard core bowhunters. They have killed more pigs on a few hunts in South Ga. than they have the whole while in the mountains.  RC
