Email sent. Got it! Replied. I'll line up the farms / land over the next week or so and will send out a "group" email once we get the details worked out. This way we can coordinate dates and times. I'm hoping to get a few different ones set so we can have multiple outings. |

I'd be up for it. We would need a night permit from Fish & Game, right?
You could show me all the advantages of high end NV and start a new addiction I can't afford.

Sounds kinda interesting on the surface, but would require some Form 20's, and live fire in the dark with complete strangers.....hmmm, maybe not so sure about that.

My handle is a carryover from some 4x4 friends a couple decades ago....man, you're going to murder your truck. It was an '83 Toyo with V-6 Chevy power on 38x12.50 Swampers that pulled out a full-size '78-79 vintage Bronco with that damn heavy 351M stuck to the axles on 38x15's.....using a nylon sling and just a little bit of momentum. 
As one gets older, it becomes more about finness, while still being aware of the skinny pedal on the right. That same engine and tranny in the Toyo-Heep, but they have each been rebuilt once and the 4.3 runs EFI now. |

A damage control permit from the local conservation officer will be required to hunt with NV and thermal, even on private property, in Alabama

Well I can say I ever saw a pig, but no shit, I saw a wild turkey and a flock of geese wandering around Sadr City. I even have pictures of it. (I meant there I tried going out shooting at night with strangers, not pig hunting! Ha!) |

More awesomeness coming up! I just spoke with the District II office, and the permit is FREE. It permits full, legal hunting at NIGHT, **with** the use of NV gear. The landowner is the one who needs to apply for it, but there is no cost and as long as it can be shown that there are coyotes and / or feral hogs on the property the CO is likely to approve it. |

I'm interested but have to wait until next summer if group hunts become the norm I can drive down from KY for a weekend outing, thermal and NVG in tow.

I'd be interesting in going, I'm from Chattanooga and with summer coming up I have a little more free time to make a trip up there. I don't have any NV, but I've been on NV hunts.

Be sure to get the Officer to write out that he approves NV, Thermal, suppressors etc.. that you will be using. I had a know it all one year try and get me locked up for using Suppressors. I had a verbal nod but the guy wasted the time of the CO with a bogus complaint to the head office.
Joke was on the Know it all. Haters suck |

Haters suck We all need to discuss these issues with our reps/fish and game/etc. If feral hogs are the problem the land managers say they are, why not go ahead and relax the hunting regs to allow night varmint hunts like so many other states have done? I realize there are enforcement concerns to make cases against poachers of game species, but those can be addressed as well. A friend of mine suggested a night requirement of IR beacons, like the hunter orange requirement for day hunts. That could address any percieved safety issues. It would rock if we could hunt pigs at night in Alabama.

I would be fine with the night hunts being closed during gun season for deer. Poaching issue solved.

You can hunt Hogs in Alabama at night. Just get permission and a permit. They have backed off on the hoops you had to jump through to get a permit. But the permit system is still in place. Everyone that has access to the place at night needs to be listed on the permit. There is your safety net right there. The current system works. |

I have a PVS-14 and an LWTS (which I just got.) Laser things too! The thermal goes on my suppressed Grendel in front of a 4X ACOG. I can trailer my ATV up there as well. E-mail sent, OP. May I suggest that we all invest in an IR beacon, even if we don't have NV. I've never done this before, but it seems that working in 2-man teams would be appropriate. Anyone without NV would need to be cleared to shoot by someone who has it, and who is scouting downrange. |

Alabama needs to learn a thing or two about night hog hunting from Florida.
As I understand it, on private land in Florida, there are NO restrictions, NO limits, NO prohibitions (NV, thermal, lasers, IR lights, etc), NO permits required, NO weapon limitations, etc. It's like a frickin' hog-killin' free-fer-all at night in 'rida. |

Strongly suggest you stay together and designate two or at most three shooters for each bunch of pigs you encounter. After the first shot the pigs will scatter and it gets really crazy, no telling which way they will run. Check out BushmanLA's video(Bad Life Decisions) in this thread if you want to see what can happen - Thermal Hog Kills...Videos...post yours here.

Yep, when we went we had two designated shooters for each group. Spotter calls go, and the shooters start on the outside hogs, and then you pick off runners that go left if you're the left shooter, and vice versa. Easy peasy. |
