In Florida, you can hunt them all year long at any time of the day and kill as many as you would like....

I want to get thru a local outfitter, they have a 900 acre farm with feeding stations and blinds already setup...

You can bring your own rifle, but I would like to do a night hunt, they have 10 AR-10s with night vision scopes you can use...to me that would be pretty cool to nail one at night with a night vision scope...

They also have a guy who will cut up and package the hog for you.......

The cost is like $325 and given the number of hogs they say there is a 99% chance of you bagging one....

If I’m actually hunting hogs I prefer using a bow, hogs were made for bow hunting. When I’m riding the ranch I carry a rifle, in my case it’s a M-4 style 5.56. When I spot hogs I try to get as many as I can. Hog’s and Coyotes get shot on sight.

The AR 10 is good for hogs, but my experience is that you don’t get a second shot. They scatter fast. The advantage of using an AR 10 is that you can easily mount lights, bipod and scope. Not all bolt guns make that easy.

And you don’t need a high dollar AR 10/precision rifle for hogs. All my shots have been 100 yards and less since it’s night time with a predator light, from a stand. Off the shelf Bushmaster in 7.62 works just fine.

I did buy a better stock with an adjustable cheek rest.

Come to Texas and you can hunt hogs from a helicopter with a full auto for around $800...
