DECEMBER/JANUARY 2017 MACON MAGAZINE | 85 2 HUNT HOGS FROM A DUNE BUGGY WITH HOGSWAT The state of Georgia made it legal to hunt hogs from a vehicle; leave it up to HogSWAT to make it incredible. The Southwest Georgia wild hog management service had a custom four-seat Gun Buggy built with three gunner positions fabricated. Mid-travel suspension and thermal targeting on the weapons means incredibly accurate shooting when chasing down herds of wild hogs in complete darkness. Huge amounts of peanut butter are used to lure masses of hogs into a certain spot. When the cellular activated camera sends out the alert that the hogs are in the right position, it's time to take off in the buggy and annihilate the hogs. Makes for a very fun night that I'm planning on experiencing very soon. $750 per person, room for three Hogswat.com 3 KUDU SAFARI BRAII Man, if you haven't heard about this grill yet, I'm not sure you deserve one. The South African-inspired, Macon, Georgia-innovated KUDU Safari Braai is an extremely versatile grilling system that allows you to cook pretty much anything you can think of. Using a patented elevated grate system over an open fire, the KUDU grills, sautés, sears, fries, boils, smokes and steams – and often it does several of these at the same time. You can steam oysters while slow-cooking a Boston Butt, or grill blackened grouper while frying shrimp, or sear a rib eye on a Himalayan salt block while sautéing vegetables on a cast iron skillet, all over an open fire that you can convert into a fire pit to hang out around afterwards. Atlanta Chef Kevin Gillespie of Top Chef fame just signed on as their spokesperson, and I can personally attest that cooking on this thing is as much fun as I've ever had cooking outside.
