they haven't been made in a long time and likely any you find will be dry rotted.
Depending on the rim size and budget there are several options.

What level of off road are you planning? Heavy rocks/mud or are they just big tires for look? If your pockets are deep Toyo MT's are good. Super Swamper, Mickey Thompson, Goodyear and BFGoodrich all have options in the sizes you want. Plus some other companies I have forgotten I'm sure.
If you find some Hawgs don't drive on them, they may be valuable antiques by now.

Welcome back to the off-road world! 
Of course depending on your rigs purpose, there has been some good alternatives mentioned other than the old school Ground Hawgs.. Too bad they are gone though, I love mine and I'm not looking forward to the day I have to replace them.

I got a new set of 38 radials for 16" rim 
plan on using them at some point here on a project or who knows what .
I use to have a problem with buying tires before a project was done .

That's what I had on the blazer when I bought it. In a 15" rim though.

these are advertised all the time on the local craigslist.

Totally different tire, though. It just re-uses the old name.
What is the tread depth on those?
Is it a camera trick? Has anybody contacted them to ask if those are NOS or if there is actually a supplier?

I wish Ground Hawgs were still in production. Love those tires. I still have a set of 17/40-16.5 Ground Hawgs that used to be my winter tires on my F350. They wore like iron.

Holy crap no way I would pay that much for old bias ply tires. Not even big ones. Now some
Q-78s we might could talk
Now I have never plowed anything so I'm only guessing you're gonna want something with decent tread siping. Big think blocks and ice dont work very well together.
Don't know if they're any good in weather but these are badass everywhere else. Pitbulls...
