Well I hunted the river last night walked 7 miles and never saw a track zero fresh sign. Buck and Zeus hunted hard but you can't catch a ghost.The water is high and that in conjunction with the added pressure of deer season the few hogs on the 3000 acres are pushed to the neighboring property which I have no access to. This happens every deer season when it finally cools down the woods are crawling with people and come general gun, deer dogs as well.There are many places in Fl that are crawling with hogs and believe me I am on a constant quest to gain access to one of them but as of now my spots are not very good. We do have quota hunts that you can apply for like the one that TazD mentioned earlier some are better than others and I hunt a couple and usually do ok but these hunts can be very sketchy with scumbag thieves who ride around waiting to hear a hog bayed or caught and try to steal the hog or even worse your dogs and gear. This has happened to several of my friends.One buddies dog got kicked and her jaw was broken his son and his sons friend were beaten up and their hog was stolen.Even though I drew a good one this year I am very hesitant and believe that I am going to turn my permit in.I have no where to run a long range dog with endless bottom.I can appreciate one for sure just have absolutely no use for one at the moment.
scumbags beating up dogs and stealing hogs! man the laws in California suck but Im glad I dont have to deal with that nonsense. When I was a kid we used to leave a really nice bike in town unlocked and wait for someone to steal it, then we would beat the snot out of whoever did, we were bored. Might have to pull something like that on those daddy didn't marry mommys. lol
