Making a WMA hog run soon? This story was published in 2009 by a genuine outdoor legend, Glen Solomon. His hunting knowledge was vast and can certainly help you score on public-land pigs today.

Warning: Reading these adventures could be hazardous to your health as it may cause you to slide on some camo and head right out to your favorite WMA in 100-degree weather.   This article is my personal hog-hunting diary for my annual “Summer Sausage Run,” which is enacted every August and Sept...
