Shane with his hogs

About two weeks ago, I wrote a post on how to trap hogs in 10 easy steps. That post came about after a couple of emails from lowcountryhunting readers who were looking to knock down the hog population on their hunting leases after deer season ended.

One of them was Shane from Columbia who has a lease over in Bamberg County. Well, he just sent me an email letting me know that my “steps” had helped him catch several hogs along with some pictures of his success… Just take a look at those fat corn thieves!

And I know a lot of hunters and trappers don’t care about scent control, but I will let Shane’s comment speak for itself, “Thanks again for all of the advice, it really did help us, especially the advice on the scent control. After killing the first round of 3, they avoided the trap a full two weeks before we caught a second sow.”

I also wanted to share with you another hog hunting success story from over on the Savannah River near Jackson, SC. Dr. Havird, a frequent guest at Cypress Creek, was hunting with his friend Clayton Hodges on Monday when they knocked down a 225 pounder with “deuce’s” help. I will let Dr. Havird’s short email straight from the woods via his phone tell the story…

dog trailed and bayed. hog charged dog who decided a good time to leave neighborhood. dog ran back to us wide open with pig coming fast. Clayton made one 60 yd head shot on dead running pig with open sights lever action winchester 32 special.  dog then returned for payback to pig.

Thanks guys for keeping us updated on your successes. And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am jacked up and ready to hog hunt!
