Hog Hunting in Kentucky

[DJD]

Any size on the hogs? Mostly 100# and less? Do they help butcher them? Pack the meat? Anything like that? Thanks!

Mine was 128 lbs. There were two larger ones in the group that it came in with, but daylight was slipping away and they weren't providing clear shots so I took while the taking was good. Casey says they've taken several boars in the 300 lb range and one sow that maxed out 400 lb scales before she was completely off the ground, but I think the 75-200 lb range is typical. I do all my own meat processing but he said that for $40 they would skin and quarter a hog for transport in coolers. I like the place because is way cheaper than heading to a lodge in Tennessee. $150 to hunt for 3 days and $150 fee per hog. I also like the semi-guided style as opposed to having a guide coaching your every move. Casey takes you out, shows you the property, his stands, the areas the hogs are using, and turns you lose. Its also nice to know that I'm keeping my dollars in the state.

Did u see the show "pig bomb"? It was on last night. Pretty good footage of some big boys.

Didn't see it last night, but I have caught parts of it before. They're pretty intimidating critters.

While stationed in Germany we would see some huge Boar while out walking the forest on guard. I usually stayed clear of those bad boys.

Many years ago a veternarian from Northern KY was accused of turning hogs loose in the southern part of the state. I won't give his name just in case it isn't true. I don't remember any more of the story than that.
