Feral Hogs

Unread postby Matt G79 » Sun Feb 12, 2023 10:57 pm

I am researching feral hog hunting and looking for opportunities on public lands. I live in Ohio. Does anyone have a recommendation for a state to look into that has good opportunity? Thank you.

I know that Kentucky had some pretty good hunting all year round although I don't know if it's changed. I'm pretty such most if not all southern states have hog seasons. Louisiana was swarming with them.

Public here is SC you can hunt them during any other game season using the weapons you’re allowed to use for said species. (Small game currently). Aka rimfire, shotgun with smaller shot (not effective) and archery equipment. The same applies to turkey and deer seasons.

I used to hunt them in north Florida along the choctawhatchee river.

FL is loaded.
It’s rare I don’t walk up on one/some when scouting.

Same here in Georgia. They are now in the upper parts of the state, but the lower parts are inundated from what I hear.

Louisiana

RKY WMA, Shurburne WMA, or Pearl River WMA

I shot 3 opening morning of squirrel last year. Got one with my bow deer hunting. Saw a hundred from stand easily. My father is retired and usually kills around 20 a year between his bow and squirrel rifle. We are overwhelmed with them. It is to the point the state is developing a poison to put out for them like rats!

They are easier to kill early in the year when it is hot. I attached a trail cam pic of a golden hog that came out in the daylight in January. Aslo is a pic of a 180# sow I got with my bow last year. And some others.
