Hogs in Tennessee

My wife's cousin is in Knoxville and is not a hunter, more of a fisherman. He wants me to come down and pig hunt with him, but not knowing much about it (Me or Him) I was wondering were to start. Is there a better time of the year? I've looked on Tn dnr site, but I also thought somebody here could give me some tips. Can you Help?

Hogs in Tennessee

I'm completely new to this also. Not into trophy hunting, in fact haven't done any hunting in years. Was wanting to get back into it a little starting with some wild pig. I live in middle Tennessee and want to know where I can start with something like this. I don't know where i can hunt, but i talked with a TWRA agent and he said they had good reports (bad for the land owners) down in wayne county around collinwood. I'm looking into it to try to load up my freezer. My biggest hobby is bbq and would LOVE to try some wild pig on the smoker. Any info would help. thanks

Hunting Tip: Attracting Bucks During the Rut

I have a system I use in Whitetail hunting during the rut that seems to work for me. When I make a mock scrape in the area I wish to hunt I will place a couple of 35mm film canisters (film removed of course) in the scrape after I have cleared out all leaves and other debris. The film canisters are filled with cotton balls and saturated with doe in heat urine. This keeps the urine from soaking in the ground and can be refreshed on each trip if needed. I will also use the tarsal gland of the buck...
