Got permission to hunt hogs on a farmers land
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:51:14 AM »
I work for a farm equipment dealer and get to talk to a lot of landowners. I have one that I deliver to occasionally and we got to talking about hunting, etc. He mentioned he had a hog problem and that him and his hired hands had shot a few, one approaching 400 lbs. He stopped in my work last week to get some Christmas presents and before he left he asked me when I'm coming up to hunt hogs. I couldn't believe it!!! I said as soon as the holidays are over I will call him to set up a day to come up. He said he will show us around, but they are hard to find. It'a a 2 hour trip one way from my house but it will be worth it if we get lucky enough to get one or two. I will post the outcome after we go. Man I'm excited, but I know it won't be that easy.

 That would be way to cool. I heard a rumor of some around Mitchell. Got a buddy checking it out. Crossing my fingers. Good luck.

Sounds great! I received my NRA mag today and it has several articles about hog hunting. It also contains a map showing where hogs have been sighted. It shows some pockets in Indiana.

I know that a lot of people would like to hunt 'em, myself included, but the damage they do far outweighs any sport that they might provide.

Sounds like a blast I have never seen any here in southern part of the state.
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold an
