www.hogwild.ab.ca I know it's safe to post this now as they pay for adds with Alberta Outdoorsmen and have their cabin littered with magazines for the same reason... They have ads in the regs every year as well in the back. I can't believe some guys can come in here bashing on them when they put back into the whole organization of hunting as well, all cause they think it's a canned hunt. Don't shoot the canned animals if they excape the fence then, they are tame! LOL, come try and pet one of these pigs!

On the same token, they had Pickles, a raised colored wild boar on the farm for a while and you wouldn't know he was from a wild stock! He stayed on the farm until he left to a new home. Them pigs can be super smart when they want to be!

Any info would be greatly appreciated, also some photos would be great!
Quite a few of the guys that I work with head over to Hogwild every year. They rave about it for weeks afterwards when they get back. I finally had a chance to go myself last March. Needless to say I was thrilled with the whole experience. I usually have to work like a dog to have any kind of success out in the field. The Hagmans rolled out the welcome mat and It felt awesome. One of the best and most memorable experiences I've had in two decades. I brought my vid cam with me and took a little bit of footage over there. I'm no expert on making movies but it'll kind of give you and idea of the experience that I had. Hope it helps & I'm pretty sure you won't be disapointed if you go.

Awesome video Popcan - really gives an idea of the terrain & type of shooting to expect. Your wolf video is terrific too!

i didn't know they made hubble telescopes to fit onto rifles, be curious what rings you chose for that beast....you like aiming at the fleas or something?

nice vids

that might be a good place for the savage 220f slugger and new bow to head out, will have to give them a shout, sounds like fun, a friend did it years ago and said it was a blast too
