Georgia Hog Hunting
Hog Hunting is Open year-round at Gopher plantation in Georgia!
There is no better place than Georgia Hog Hunting if you are looking to try out a new rifle caliber, to introduce a young one into the sport of hunting, or you just like eating pork. Georgia hog hunting from a stand is an excellent choice. We have over 100 tower stands on property and there is a food plot and feed spot and or feeder at every hog hunting location. If you choose to do a stand hunt the guides will freshen up the feed spot when they drop you off, then get ready. We also take guys after deer season closes that want to stand hunt after the sun sets with night vision or thermal.
A typical day starts with the guide dropping the hunter off for a morning hunt before daybreak then returning when the guest has killed or is ready to come in for lunch. After lunch, the guest will then be dropped off again at a different spot or where the guide thinks the hunter has the best chance for success. The guide will then pick up the guest at dark or let them sit depending on whether they are day or night hunting for hogs.
Rates: $500.00 per person per day and this includes lodging and meals
Limit is 2 hogs per day limit and this does not carry over to the next day. No sows with little pigs.

Thermal Hog Hunting
By now you have probably seen thermal hog hunting videos of a group of gunners all in a line in a large agricultural field sighting in on a large group of hogs in front of them. If this is a hunt you’ve always wanted to do but have never tried, you’ve found the right place. The Gopher Plantation hog hunting guides have fine-tuned their thermal hunts to guarantee an opportunity at free-range hogs every hunt.
We conduct all of our thermal hog hunts on over 10,000 privately owned acres. We not only hunt the agricultural fields we also hunt in the woods over our feed sources and food plots. The Gopher Plantation staff plants over 200 acres of food plots for wildlife. Not only do our deer and turkey benefit from this but also our wild hog population. It’s not uncommon to find 4-6 groups of hogs on a 3-hour thermal hunt with us all while literally hunting out of our back door. You can add hours to your thermal hog hunt and increase the shooting opportunities.
Hog Hunting at Night with Thermal Equipment
If you don’t have any thermal equipment for hog hunting at night, no problem we have you covered. We have 10 guns set up with Pulsar thermal scopes and suppressors at your disposal. The guides also have 3 sets of Pulsar thermal binoculars to spot hogs throughout your hunt. We also provide shooting sticks, snacks, and a cooler with drinks so literally all you have to do is show up. If you have your own thermal night hunting equipment or have picked up some new toys and need a place to use them, feel free to bring them on your hunt as well.
After you’ve booked your thermal hog hunt, you will be instructed to arrive at the plantation in time to get familiar with the equipment in the daylight hours. We recommend having supper at the plantation or picking up something to eat while traveling. After supper, the guides will make you familiar with the buttons and functions of the scope. Once the guides feel you have become familiar with the safety, weapon, sticks, approach, countdown, how to place the guns in the truck as well as take them out, it’s time to start your hunt.
The guides will be driving with no lights throughout the property looking for groups of hogs. If you originally book a 3-hour thermal hog hunting trip and you and your friends are having too much fun, you can always add another hour or two while on the hunt. What makes Gopher unique is that we have fine-tuned hunting hogs in the woods. Some nights hogs just aren’t in agricultural fields. If this is the case your guide will have already fed many spots the day of, and he will start checking them. We feed our place year-round in front of the over 100 tower stands we have on the property and these hogs are familiar with every feed spot and feeder.
An added bonus to using Pulsar equipment is the guide will be videoing every group of hogs you shoot at. This can be good and bad. Why you might ask, well we’ve found that what our guest think they saw happening through their thermal isn’t always what actually happened. It’s always fun to watch the hog hunting videos back and see which guy killed his hog and which one air mailed.
After the conclusion of your thermal hog hunt, you can tell the guides which hogs you would like cape and quartered, and they will take care of that for you. If your group are expert marksmen and you harvest more hogs than you want to take home to eat the Gopher Plantation crew will try to give extra hogs to families in the area. We prefer 2-4 hog hunters per group on a thermal hunt. We can also hunt up to 3 groups per night and this is a great corporate activity if you are looking to entertain business customers or clients.

Guided Spot and Stalk Hog Hunts
A guided spot and stalk hog hunt consists of 1 hunter on 1 guide or 2 hunters on 1 guide in the spot and stalk scenarios. The hunting preserve area is approximately 300 acres so be prepared for a little walking. There are stands and ambush points the guides can direct you to if a hunter isn’t physically able to walk. This is a challenging hog hunt that is great for introducing young or inexperienced hunters to the outdoors. The hog hunting guides will help teach guests how to maneuver through the woods undetected on well-worn game trails and the hog hunters will learn how to use the wind and patience on approach. We provide shooting sticks for rifle hunters. We allow hunters to choose their weapon of choice.
Typical Spot and Stalk Hog Hunt
While on a typical spot and stalk hog hunt your guide will predetermine a time for continental breakfast at the main lodge and then depart shortly afterward for the hunting grounds. We have had multiple hogs taken over the years on the way to the hunting location so the hunter could experience an added bonus. Once arriving to their hog hunting spots, the guide will then lead the way and help you stalk into your competent shooting range. This hog hunt is also great for large parties of hunters. The guides will safely divide the hunting area into zones and communicate together to help track moving boar and hopefully ensure success for their clients. After the hunt, the guides will load the hog or hogs and take them back to our processing facility so the meat can be prepared for transport or placed into our walk-in coolers until time for departure.

Day or Night Predator Hunts for Bobcat, Coyote, and Bonus Hog Hunting
If shooting a bobcat or coyote is on your bucket list, we can help accomplish that as well. If you are interested in Bobcat primarily you will need to book December 1 through February 28 due to State regulations. Competent guides will take you into prime calling set ups and patience is the name of the game. We have our best success at night using our thermal gear and electronic calls loaded with predator and prey sounds.
If you see hogs while moving from spot to spot and the predators aren’t cooperating the guest can shoot hogs as they come across them. The gopher crew has also figured out how to call hogs as well. If you get a rush when a coyote comes charging in just wait until you see a 200-pound hog with hackles raised charge into shotgun range. We prefer 2-3 hunters per group.
Rates: $450 per hunter for 3 hours
