Unlimited Hogs — Hunting vs. Shooting

At Florida and Carolina Hunts, we want every client to clearly understand the difference between hunting and shooting.

Hunting is the full process of locating, tracking, stalking, identifying, and ethically pursuing wild game according to all laws, seasons, safety rules, and fair-chase principles.

Shooting is only the act of firing a firearm, bow, or other weapon at a target or animal.

In simple terms:

Shooting is a skill. Hunting is the full outdoor experience.

A person can be a good shooter and still not fully understand hunting. A true hunter understands:

Animal behavior

Wind direction

Tracking and sign

Patience and timing

Safety

Shot placement

Legal seasons and limits

Respect for the animal

Ethical harvest

Recovery and processing

Because we operate in free-range hunting areas, animal movement can vary. Some hunts may provide multiple opportunities, while others may provide fewer.

When Carolina Hunts uses the phrase “Unlimited Hogs,” it means clients may have the opportunity to pursue and harvest multiple hogs during their hunt, depending on hog movement, weather, safety, guide discretion, legal requirements, and fair-chase conditions. It does not guarantee a specific number of animals harvested.

Carolina Hunts believes hunting is not just pulling a trigger. Hunting is patience, preparation, tracking, discipline, safety, and respect for the game. Shooting is only one part of the hunt.

"From day one talking on the phone with Juan about booking a hunt this has been a great experience. His staff call me and made everything very easy and understandable about what paperwork needed to be filled out and where to meet. Meeting Juan the first day I knew we were in good hands and would be well taken care of. He took us to multiple places to look at and left it up to us to decide where we want to hunt. We booked for just one night to hunt and we stayed in the woods from 5 to 5 and because these are free range hogs we didn’t see anything. (Note it’s best to book a 3 day hunt)because it will give you the best opportunity to see hogs, and harvest. Juan being the Godly man he is told us to come back and he would put us on some hogs. Well we did and he put us on them. I walked in about 3:30 and walked up on around 20 hogs they were everywhere. I really thought it was over with for the hunt . Around 5:30 I was overwhelmed with hogs they came from everywhere being my first time hunting hogs I couldn’t sit still and nervous , again note just sit still these hogs don’t care about you sitting there you have time to pick out a great hog.I missed not because gun was off something got in the way I just missed because of not sitting still. Overall this hunt was really great. Oh is you are like myself and have a hard time getting around as in walking don’t worry all the blinds I saw and got in was so easy to get to and sit in. Great job Juan."
