I'm moving to Florida in November.
Having grown up in Tennessee, eating pork BBQ,
which doesn't really exist in my home state, I'm hungry.
I own a .30-30 (click 30 in the sig line), more than adequate -- unless you piss off a big boar.
My hosts in Florida tell me there are thousands of square miles there to hunt hog.
So, this is where I'll learn more about hog hunting. There are LOTS of people on THR with experience hog hunting. So I'm going to be a student here, and learn from them. I'll help summarize ideas -- I like learning that way. Hopefully, it will benefit others.
Here's a partial list of topics.
