Hello gentlemen (I use that term loosely -- very loosely!)!

There has been some interest over the last week or so to put together a group hunt or gathering of some sort, involving firearms. Anyhow, last year (or was it two years ago?), Franchise graciously organized a group hunt in North Carolina that by all accounts was a success. I spoke with the outfitter I most often work with -- Hog Heaven Outfitters of Johnston County, North Carolina, about a group hunt and as importantly, a group rate.

February is already all booked up, but he promised to make a space for us in January. January is a good month to hunt there as the deer season will have ended and the animals will not be feeling any pressure, on top of the fact that it won't be hot.

Anyhow, his normal rate is $900.00 for a 3-day hunt, all inclusive (this includes meals). He is willing to do the 3-day hunt for $700.00 for us. Keep in mind that North Carolina now requires a license to hunt hogs. You will eat more than well, and sleep in a bed in the bunkhouse. You will also need the night hunting permit that you can get off of the NC DNR site at no cost. You will be hunting at night -- lights to mount on your firearm will be provided by the outfitter if you don't have one. This is a 100% free-ranging hog hunt so there are no guarantees. That said, I have taken a whole bunch of hogs on their property -- which is about 2,000 acres if I can recall correctly.

Those interested, please contact me here and via PM.

Here is a little preview of some of the hogs I have taken there.
