I never been hog hunting, but my friends have said it's fun. I know there is open season on wild hogs here in Missouri now. They are having such a problem with them that you don't even need a permit to shoot them, if you want to check into that?
Nope, I've never done it, but I'd take a crack at one of those nasty lookin' bastards for 500 bucks.
Shit I've spent $1500 to get a black bear and $1200 for an elk. They were 4 day trips, meals included though.
Don't forget processing fees. Tell em' to take any pork steaks and turn them into sausage, they suck.
