Duck and hog trip

[BKhunter]

Went down to FL a few weeks ago and did some hog hunting and duck hunting. Had a blast can't wait to go back again next year. First time duck hunting and I am hooked..... Hog hunting was a blast too.

Have you had a chance to eat any of the pig-meat. I have heard two different opinions on wild hog meat, and was just wondering what your opinion is.

I would like to do it to if somebody would invent snake-bite boots that zip up over my head. I can't imagine tramping around in the tall grass in snake infested swamps and fields. I did see a rig used down there that would take care of my snake problems. It was some kind of truck-thing that had the hunters sitting about 8' up in the air. That might do it .... lol.

Yup ..... That's what I would need. Snakes can't climb up into those things can they?

What type of hunting is it with the hogs? Is it a high fence canned type hunt, or is more similar to pursuing wild game through the woods, more like traditional deer hunting?

It was by okeechobee the hog place we actually duck hunted in lake okeechobee. Prices weren't bad I paid about 400 for both but that was subsidized slightly by my cousins company not by much though. The land actually raises cattle so there was a fence but it was only 3 feet tall and the hogs have burrows dug all around so it's all fair chase. We used dogs and the buggy that was discussed above it was different but a lot of fun and a cool experience. We're gonna go again next year and do some quail and dove along with the hogs and ducks.
