[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 3025516, member: 313"] I've been on many outfitted hog hunts. I have hunted them in NC, SC, GA and TX. Despite what some advertise, they are "put & take" operations. Even down south where hogs are prevalent, you need to be careful about avoiding places that have large tracks of fenced in areas. Some don't even admit it until you get there. Look for places that provide rifles, with thermal optics and ammo. There really is no need to buy all that expensive equipment to hunt on only a few occasions. I bought some nice Pulsar equipment but sold it at a loss, after the a few hunts. I hunted at "Hog Assault" in Georgia. The guy had high-end rifles and thermals. You drove around in his van that had a thermal on the roof and we searched the fields on a laptop when you reached each potential hunting location. When we spotted hogs, we got out and stalked up closer before the firing began. It was literally a blast, and we had a great time even though we missed 90% of the running hogs. The only downside to the hunt was the expense. At the time we paid $500 per man/per day. There were 3 of us hunting. The 3-day hunt did not include food or lodging. We stayed in Albany Georgia in a hotel and drove to the guys home each evening. There was another outfitter nearby that had the same set-up. If you are only going to try this once - fly to Texas and hunt with an outfitter that has everything that you need, ie: lodging, food, transportation and guns with thermals. This is what we did on our last trip and it was worth it. We shot a bucket load of hogs and missed even more. I never laughed so hard while watching guys miss their quarry. Pigs can take a lot of lead and still run off so you just never know how many you actually hit. All the hogs were left in the field which is fairly customary. We had a rental car and spent two additional days visiting relatives and doing a little sight-seeing. Good luck on your future hog hunt. Night shooting at truly free-range hogs is a lot of fun.
