This hog hunt began as a trade for a Canadian black bear hunt. On a Florida Hunting forum a new member, Matt from New Brunswick, Canada posted that he & his wife would be visiting Florida and he wanted to trade a Canadian Black Bear hunt for a Florida hog hunt. Well……I had a few feeders still going with hogs still coming in so I contacted him and we worked out the hog hunt details. All I needed to do was to get the hogs a bit more committed so I stepped up the baiting frequency & duration and in a couple of weeks had hogs hitting 5 stands with some regularity.
Having never met them before we traded emails, texts, phone calls and photos. Seems we had a lot in common to include each having children of which we both like to do outdoor adventures with.
Matt & his children
In my book anyone who has young kids and does outdoor things with them has gotta be a good person so we invited him & his wife to stay at our home for a couple of days and we’d see about playing with some hogs and showing them around our cool little area of Florida (children staying home with the grandparents).
Fortunately over time the pigs cooperated at multiple stands just in time for the Canadian’s visit………………………below are some representative photos.
A wide variety of colorations …..(I like the gray pig)
