Wild Hog Hunting
No closed season, no bag limit, and legal night hunting in most states — the most accessible big-game hunting in the country.
Feral hogs cause an estimated $1.5 billion in damage across the U.S. every year, and wildlife agencies across the South have responded by making hog hunting as easy as possible.
Whether you already hunt deer or turkey and want a year-round outlet, or you’re starting from scratch, these guides cover the state-by-state rules, the gear that actually works, and what a hunt really costs. Regulations vary significantly by state and can change year to year — always confirm current rules with the state wildlife agency before you hunt.
