They need to make it public information, because you never know which warden you are gonna get.

i would suspect that it might have to do with ammunition normally used for those species might be marginal or inadequate to cleanly kill hogs at other than very short range. and they aren't gonna let folks carry slugs "just in case".
Right across the state line in Georgia they are legal to take during any hunting season. That's the reason I bought a 22 magnum
Saw a guy and a Plott pup get absolutely lit up by yellow jackets down there right at daylight one time. The poor hound, she started whimpering then sat down in the creek and howled!

Cut shell. If you know you know
I guess I don't know lol
I wouldn't recommend it because it could create a barrel obstruction but it basically turns a shot shell into a slug by cutting the hull "almost" into the wad, therefore sending the load without spreading IF it makes out of the barrel. Good way to remove your face or hand!
Yeah that never crossed my mind. I squirrel hunt with a 22 magnum in the national forest just in case.

That's awesome. I would love to figure out hogs in that WMA as it is the closest one to me with a decent population. Any tips for a newbie are appreciated.

Cover lots of ground. I've been all over that area and pretty much always find hog sign. Go deep and far, stay up top. Don't get discouraged if you don't see pigs at first just stay after em. Pick a trail and go. Sit over saddles and find oaks this time of year

i've seen them all around Indian Boundary Lake, lots of rooting sign too. this is normally in early season though. after it gets cold, most sign i've seen was WAY up in headwaters of creeks/small springs. you have to be careful, it's easy to end up in GSM park if you just keep moseying uphill...
Don't overlook the lower elevations going down the skyway. Lots of gated service roads to get you back there.
