Today was the end of our 3 day trip. We packed everything up and heading out to the wma around 6:15 this morning. After hunting a hard two days I was glad to have a later start. We were gonna go back across the flooded road but there was another group of guys already trying to go in there after we killed so many pigs in there yesterday.

Shane put his Pepper for on the box and we drove around for a few hours trying to rig one with no luck. Everywhere we thought about turning out already had trucks there. Shane and Daniel met a fellow named Joseph last year. He lives 5 minutes from the wma so he came over there and checked out one last spot with us. A small portion of the wma that’s separated. Well they were close to the property line and some guys came over raising hell saying we were trespassing and they took pictures of the trucks and said they were calling DNR. Turned in to a lotta nonsense. We were still on the WMA, and Joseph’s uncle actually owns that bordering property. The guys just have permission to hunt it. We left and went a few miles away and stopped and Joseph called his uncle to tell him what happened, he said he’d handle it.

We had most our group leave after that. The original members of our group were going to hunt some private land with Joseph. We ride by his place to get his ranger and drop my truck off to have less vehicles. He said to just ride with him. Well turns out he lives on Bostick Plantation, his granddaddy owns it. Freaking beautiful house and property. It felt like I should be having a guided tour there lol.

We get to a huge farm and did a bit of roading and then walked the dogs in some pines. We ended up catching 5, all small pigs. Dogs killed a bunch of bacon bits before we could get to them, and Shane’s Pepper dog ran one for 4 hours before we finally caught her and loaded up. Was a great hunt for my pups.

Over the past 3 days they’ve ran over 60 miles, and the total kill count was somewhere between 35-40 pigs counting the piglets that dogs killed. Great for getting these young dogs fired up. Did a lotttttt or swimming and running so they’re getting nice and tuned up and getting better every time. My dog’s have never been roaded so that was good for them, and my male pup got to ride around up on top of the box for the first time, which is great to get him comfortable in as many situations as possible.

Definitely the best hunting trip I’ve been on! Lots of great guys came together to make it happen from around the state. Most of my buddies that came were all upstate boys. The plantation was off the chain, they said they’re family originally had 100k acres, pretty much all of it was given to them by king George in the 1700’s and they still own like 5k acres of the original land. The rest was sold off by different family members. But it’s a pretty famous plantation Ted Nugent has come out there for their guided hunts. They manage the entire property for trophy bucks.

We didn’t hunt the property, but it was cool going out to it. We went about 35 minutes down the road to hunt some farm land in Allendale. Shoot it was the nicest property I’ve hunted. I wish I would’ve taken some videos going through the property. The front was all corn fields with big hedge rows and then the road went back in to a whole bunch of different blocks of pine thickets and big fields with mazes of roads going through the whole property. Probably a 10k acre block we were hunting. That farmer apparently is the number one land owner in that part of the state. Real nice old man with land on both sides of the high way for 15-20 miles.

He showed us where he wanted us to hunt and said that he had a guy out there a week ago that watched 127 pigs cross from the pine thickets through the big field in the front to the giant hedge row in the center that they’ve nick named hog island.

And that skidder was stuck like chuck. The hogs are so bad there that they’re cutting out the hedge rows to try and push pigs out by not having as many places for them to bed down

Sounds like a really great time. Beautiful place too. Nothing like getting on a lot of hogs with young dogs.
