Who hunt hogs in TN

Who hunt hogs here in TN ?Like at Catoosa. I am wanting to try my hand on them but Know nothing about Catoosa

[Biggie Hoffman]

The only hogs I've ever seen at Catoosa have been on the creeks. I'm sure they roam away from them but it's the best place to start.
I don't think there are more than a few dozen on the whole place though. I just haven't seen much sign over the years.

You might give give the TWRA Region 3 office a holler in Crossville, it's at their backdoor. They should be able to supply you with data on the numbers of hogs killed and also possibly where.

Big South Fork has a few hogs, you can hunt them during any big game season is my understanding, several of us from TTAS went on a hunt there a couple years ago but had no luck. The population is growing on the Plateau unfortunately and I've seen tracks on our property near Fall Creek Falls. My dad missed one on the late rifle hunt with his 06.

JT,

I was there scouting hogs a couple of weekends ago. They are there. There are more than a dozen there, I'm pretty sure. The nice thing is that during the early non-quota bowhunt you can hunt both deer and hogs.

Biggie is right, the creek bottoms are the place to start. The thing is that this has been such a wet year that you could find a wallow just about anywhere.

Walk some of the major drainages and you will find hog sign. If you don't, PM me and I'll give you some ideas.
