Where to hunt some boar ?

[starncannon]

I’m in Nashville, any tips on where to hunt is greatly appreciated. Like to hunt boar but open to anything.

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas......

Tennessee does have hogs, but they're not as common as people think & hunting them is tough. We're close enough that it's far more convenient to hunt them where they actually are, than try to find them where they might be.

To put it in perspective: I have a friend who owns property on the plateau. It's a couple of hours drive & he does have hogs. I've killed a few up there over the years. I can spend a week on his place & maybe kill a pig. 

Or, I can drive 12 hours to east Texas, 10 to central Florida, 6 to South Georgia or 4 to central Alabama, spend a day or two there & fill my truck bed.

Like Handsome Rob said, Tn. does have some but, they're not as common as in other states. In a lot of areas, they are spread out a lot. And can sometimes be hard to find. They move around quite a bit too.

My buddy and I  have killed over 30 in a night in Texas.

Is there public land in Alabama (or GA), or do you have a lease you hunt?

If you really have to stay in TN, I have heard good thongs about this place. Will cost you some $ though.

I keep meaning to get a trip to somewhere like Rob mentioned. Want to hunt hogs at least once.

Sheesh! No kidding!

Yeah, there's several hunting lodges around Crossville, Monterey and surrounding areas but, they can be costly.

I usually hunt Talladega national forest, outside of Tuscaloosa. They clear cut several, 2-6 acre patches a couple of years ago & the hogs go absolutely nuts when the new growth shoots start coming up. If that's what you're wanting to do, I'd be aiming to get there within the next 5 or 6 weeks. Once the fiddleheads start, the hogs go nuts on them. I've consistently found late afternoons to be the most productive time of day.

So what kind of permits do you need to hunt in the National forest there?

Just one of these.....
