With over 3000 hogs running wild in Pa. Over 850,000 hunters stomping Penn Woods, More would be seen or killed? Sneaky little buggers

I would think any concentration of Pigs would be found on the streets of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. (lol)

Thank you for the link, DennyF. I guess that answers my question. I agree 59Willys, hard to believe there's 3000 wild pigs running around and you don't hear about guys shooting or running into them. Initially the Game Commission was ecstatic about completely eliminating them. I've hunted them in southern states as well as warthogs and bushpigs in Africa, and to a person they say once they have a foothold they're a permanent fixture and will expand their ranges rapidly. I would think 3000 would be a foothold???

Governor Wolf recently hosted a hog hunt on SGL 296....

Why would you let a hog have a rifle?:smile_big:

 

[bpottorff]

That hog wants to take away guns. If she eats the kill that is canibilism.

 

[Woodland Warrior]

Get out the old AR and let them have it. Saw on a hunting show they were shooting them from a helicopter.

they shot the wrong hog.

a few years back some wild pigs escaped from a game preserve east of Butler. All were shot within a short period of time. The last known one was shot about 1 1/2 mile from the preserve(on property owned by an acquaintance).

There were some several years back on the loose in Cambria county, near Ebensburg.

Years ago they released wild boars as part of the Forksville Bow Festival. While some would make it through the festival hunt, I never heard of any making it past buck season. It wasn't uncommon for area hunters to shoot them in deer season. I think they only released males, to avoid establishing a population.

[bohunr]

i didnt think you were allowed to release non-native species into the wild, especially hogs. could be wrong though, its happened before, not many times but a few

It was a Bow Festival attraction for many years but it has been many years since they did it.
