If you're looking for authentic hog hunting action in South Florida, this private full-day guided hunt with M&M Guide Services delivers exactly what you're after. We're talking about a real hunting experience where you'll track wild hogs through diverse terrain using high-powered airguns. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this hunt gives you the chance to help control Florida's exploding hog population while enjoying some of the best hunting the state has to offer. You'll have your own dedicated guide for the entire day, which means personalized instruction and the flexibility to hunt at your own pace.
This isn't your typical backcountry hunt - we're targeting hogs in urban and agricultural settings where these destructive animals are causing real problems for landowners and the ecosystem. You'll spend the day moving through wooded lots, canal banks, and open fields, learning to read sign and understand hog behavior patterns. The beauty of hunting these areas is that hogs are constantly moving between food sources and water, giving you multiple opportunities throughout the day. Your guide knows these properties inside and out, including the best times to hit each location based on weather, wind direction, and recent hog activity. Since you're the only hunter on this trip, your guide can focus entirely on your success and teaching you the nuances of hog hunting in South Florida's unique environment.
We use high-powered airguns for these hunts, which are perfect for the suburban and agricultural settings we hunt. These guns are accurate, effective, and allow us to hunt areas where traditional firearms might not be suitable. Your guide will help you get comfortable with the equipment and teach you proper shooting techniques for different scenarios. The terrain varies significantly throughout the day - you might start in thick palmetto cover along a canal bank, then move to open pasture land, and finish in oak hammocks where hogs bed down during the heat of the day. Each environment requires different approaches and strategies. We'll teach you to look for fresh rooting, tracks in soft ground, and rubs on trees. Reading the wind becomes crucial since hogs have excellent noses, and your guide will constantly adjust your approach based on changing conditions. The key to success is staying mobile and adapting to what the hogs are doing on any given day.
Wild hogs in South Florida are tough, smart animals that have adapted incredibly well to both rural and suburban environments. These aren't the lazy farm pigs some people imagine - they're athletic, alert, and surprisingly fast when they need to be. Most of the hogs we encounter range from 80 to 200 pounds, though we occasionally see much larger boars that can exceed 300 pounds. The best hunting happens during cooler parts of the day when hogs are actively feeding, typically early morning and late afternoon. However, during winter months, you might find them moving throughout the day, especially on overcast days. What makes hog hunting so addictive is their unpredictability - they might be rooting in a drainage ditch one minute and crossing an open field the next. Unlike native game animals, hogs have no closed season in Florida because they're considered an invasive species causing millions of dollars in agricultural damage annually. They destroy native plant communities, compete with native wildlife for food, and can carry diseases that affect both wildlife and livestock. When you harvest a hog, you're making a real conservation impact while enjoying some of the most challenging hunting Florida has to offer.
This private full-day hog hunt offers something you won't find on larger group hunts - personalized instruction, flexibility to focus on your goals, and the undivided attention of an experienced local guide. Whether you want to learn new hunting techniques, get comfortable with airgun hunting, or simply enjoy a day pursuing one of Florida's most challenging game animals, this hunt delivers. The fact that you're helping control an invasive species while honing your hunting skills makes this a win-win situation. South Florida's year-round hunting season means we can accommodate your schedule whether you're visiting during winter months or dealing with our hot, humid summers. Don't wait to book - hog hunting is gaining popularity as more hunters discover how challenging and rewarding it can be, and prime hunting dates fill up quickly with serious hunters who know good hunting when they see it.
Wild hogs in South Florida are smart, tough animals that can weigh anywhere from 75 to 300+ pounds. These invasive pigs have adapted perfectly to our climate and terrain, thriving in thick palmetto patches, canal banks, and agricultural edges where they root for food. They're most active during cooler parts of the day - early morning and late afternoon - especially after rain when the ground is soft for digging. What makes hog hunting so appealing is the challenge they present. They have excellent hearing and smell, making them hard to approach, but once you get a shot opportunity, it's pure adrenaline. The meat is fantastic when processed right. My best tip: look for fresh rooting sign and mud wallows near water sources. Follow the trails leading away from these spots - that's where you'll find them bedded down during midday heat.
