Hog Hunting

[DaveS]

Well, after nearly 35 years of service as a Firefighter, I have decided it was time to hang up my gear. I will be retiring from federal service between now and September 30th. I have not chose my retirement date as of yet. It has always been my dream to hunt a wild boar, and that is what I would like to do as a retirement gift for myself. So, if anyone can give me some info on Tennessee "hog" hunting (maybe out in east TN), I would appreciate it. It's been a long 35 years, and I really want to get me a "hog"!

Why trek all the way to East TN, when you have Kickers right there is Clarksvegas? Never any shortage of "hogs" in there.

Congrats on the retirement. Good idea to do something for yourself. I did 27 in south Fl. Two years ago my Engine was the 52nd busiest in the country (Firehouse mag). Love SE TN. Been here almost two years. Again congrats and get a big hog.

Are you planing on knife, gun, dogs, guided? There was a thread here not to long ago about this very thing. there was also a link to a guy who was selling hunts on private property with a lot of big Russians on it. I'll try to search for it.

Thanks for all the replys. I have no desire to hunt a hog with a knife. Kickers is a good place (lol), but I think baiting is illegal! I haven't decided on guides, dogs ect., ect.. I'll certainly research your links to find what I may want to do. I just know, I want to hunt me a hog (preferably the 4 legged kind!).

Here locally, in Fentress County, there are a few lodges. I have never hunted any of them but Crooked Creek is where I would go. http://www.crookedcreekhunting.com/

The man that owns it also owns the local gun shop. He's a pretty good feller.
