My son and I just got back from Wilderness Hunting Lodge for a boar hunt. We had a great time. 1st preserve I ever hunted that indeeddoes have russian boar. Food, lodging, and people were great! Another plus, you can hunt by yourself, without a guide, which is what my son and I did. Here's some pics. 280 lb. sow, taken with 45-70 guide gun and 300 gr. nosler part. handloads Dan's boar taken with H&R handi rifle, 44 mag, and leverevolution ammo. website for those interested. www.wildernesshuntinglodge.com/maddog

I have been there and done that:D That is a good place. They treated us well and you can make your hunt as easy or as challenging as you wish. Man those are two monsters!

Mythic 1, it's a high fence hunting preserve. But for TN., its a big preserve[2400 acres]. Except for California, I don't think you will find many european/russian type hogs, free range. In the eastern half of the US, Florida and Texas are the places to go for free range. I've wanted to shoot a russian type hog, for a long time. The majority of the hogs taken while I was there, were the russian type. Only saw 3 feral type taken, and you could obviously tell the difference. I considered it a real hunt, and the fence wasn't an issue on the mtn. we hunted.

I would rather have those critters fenced in. Keep them down south and out of Indiana as much as possible.

Congratulations on some awesome hogs.
Mythic,
State law says that they have to be fenced in in Tennessee.

great pigs! Been to wilderness hunting lodge and they are some good flks, Alan does a heck of a good job of maintaining and running that place! Probably the best preserve I have ever been to in the south, especially the quality of hogs he has.....Tell you how good they are, I watched and videoed a hog hunt for a young man in a wheelchair there once. His dream was to hunt hogs using dogs. Think about that!!!! and they made it happen!

irishhunter, spring or fall is great. I tried to post to you the other day, but had trouble logging on. I like the spring, cause it's after a long cold winter, and its fun to get away. You don't need that much for a 2-3 day hunt. Just bring your regular hunting close, and favorite deer gun, and go have fun!

I was down there in October and killed a 200lb boar. My advice is be picky on your hog. I saw a couple of guys that went with dogs and shot the first thing the dogs chased down which were little sows. Another group went with the same dogs were patient and killed 300-350 lb boars.
