Hey Pan...why don't you call Eric at Wildhill.  Though I suspect he may not allow you to use an air rifle, but you can ask.

     I was wondering what you've been up to!

     Sounds like Doug has a lead for you. 

     I suggest you do a search on the internet, typing in "Hog Hunt Vermont". If that doesn't work, try surrounding states. 

     Be certain that you are confident in your ability to place your shot down to the inch at whatever range you will limit yourself to.  I normally don't like the thought of taking brainshots, but when it comes to large wild hogs and a 909 (especially one that has not been powertuned) I think that a brainshot is the way to go.  You do not want to track a wild hog wielding only a 909.  If you don't hit the brain, they are going to get away. 
     
     You have to be extremely disciplined when taking the shot, as hogs are about as twitchy a critter as I have ever seen, and usually don't stay still for more than a couple seconds.  Study the placement of their brains in their skulls.  Wait until you have one in the crosshairs that is looking at something intently, as if they are thinking "what is that?", then shoot them in the brain IMMEDIATELY, because they are about to move again.

     If you cannot find a local hog hunt, I suggest you contact the Shiloh Ranch in Oklahoma, and tell them Butcher45 sent you.  Owner/operator Matt Napper is also a bigbore airgun enthusiast.

     Hear is a video I made demonstrating proper shot placement on a hog's brain.  Shoot between the ear and the eye.  This shot was about as far towards the eye as you want to go.
