Ohio tradgangers looking to hunt pigs, where should we go?
« on: September 11, 2007, 03:35:00 PM »
A couple of fellow trad shooters and myself are looking to put together a pig hunt next year.

We're wanting some opinions on places to go. Texas, Okla., Arkansas?

Outfitters and or guides? Yes or no and if yes, recomendations. This would be a first time for us. Not interested in any canned hunt.

Time of year? Prefer something in the spring.

Any advice and feed back would be appreciated.

Thanks

You guys are in Ohio a whitetail paradise. I would think a trade a hunt listing of whitetails for pigs in that forum would get you a ton of offers on pig hunts.

Somerset,
   I'm from up north in Ohio a ways, but they have quite a few hogs in the Southeastern Ohio counties down around the Ohio River.  I think Vinton, Washington, Jackson, Noble, Monroe, Gallia and Lawrence counties have a good number of hogs.  You have to contact farmers in those areas.  ODNR does notkeep any records on hog damage to farms, but there are some farms being decimated by hogs over that way. You have to do the leg work yourself, which is why I haven't gotten over that way yet.  Hard to get the time.

Good Luck, been wanting to go hog hunting myself.

Hmmm I've been wanting to do some hog hunting down in southern ohio to. I've heard that they're around but don't have percise locations.

I agree with Osagetree.I have hunted SE Ohio for many years and own land there and have yet to see a hog!

I have info if you really want it on Southeastern Ohio and Eurasian Boars that are now a breeding population that have escaped game farms. The largest one killed down there that I know of dressed out at #435

Hogs in Southern Ohio is a myth.  One or teo may have escaped ahigh fence hunting location in Viton County.  There is NO huntable population of hogs in Ohio.  I have hunted close to the high fence location and NEVER seen ant evidence of hogs.

Like Ted said,,, it has just been a rumor amongst our hunting community here in south eastern and central Ohio.
A couple years ago I was told by a friend that his buddies hunt ferral hogs around Chilicothe Ohio. I told him I would go  with them next time, but have never heard back from them since.

I want to get in on this PLEASE!. I hunted a WMA in Georgia acouple of years ago with out any luck. The place was thick and you just pushed hogs out in front of you allday. I have always thought that hunting a place like Texas with  open terrain would be a good bet for a spot and stalk type of hunt.JMO

Info sent to all who asked for it. You might also want to contact the DNR, they have been running a Feral Pig Damage Program since last year and may have some leads for you.
