Scurry Outdoors South started The Great South Predator and Wild Hog Challenge in order to draw area hunters together to share their enthusiasm for predator and wild hog hunting. This was the first hunting event of its kind to be offered in the Southeast. Last year, over four hundred people came out to see fifty teams compete for various cash purses and prizes.
WHAT DO THEY HUNT? The Challenge offers two divisions for its participants. The first is the Wild Hog Challenge Division. Four person teams will hunt wild hogs using the Dog Bay/Catch method of harvesting the hogs. The second is the Predator Challenge Division. Two person teams will hunt for any combination of Coyote, Bobcat and Fox. Scurry Outdoors South insists all participants must abide by all local, state and federal game laws to make this event enjoyable, fair and most of all safe.
WHAT DO THEY GET? Cash purses and prizes will be awarded to the top teams in both divisions. The first place team in the Wild Hog Division will receive $1,500 and various prizes including a Scurry Outdoors South Commemorative Belt Buckle will be awarded to each team member. Second and third place team members will receive prizes. The first place team in the Predator Division will receive $1,000 and various prizes including a Scurry Outdoors South Commemorative Belt Buckle will be awarded to each team member. The second place team will receive $500 and prizes and the third place team will receive $250 and prizes.
FOR A GOOD CAUSE – THE SPORTSMAN”S PANTRY – This year, Georgia Outdoor News will be joining Scurry Outdoors South to help raise money for the GONetworks Sportsman’s Pantry by serving BBQ chicken with all the fixings for a donation. GONetworks started Sportsman’s Pantry in 2008 with two goals. The first goal is to provide approved food distribution agencies with fresh game for families in need. The second goal is to permit the sportsman to employ sound management practices without wasting game or fish or penalizing the sportsman.
