Anyone know of any hog hunting in the area of North Central Indiana?............
I know the hog population is on the rise all around.
Michigan has more counties with feral hog than without.....
And Southern Indiana has wild hogs.........
I am looking forward to the day we have some too.....

I want to hunt them too but I'm sure NOT looking forward to the destructiveness that they do.

Too much population in the north for hogs to get established. They like remote areas and the northern part of Indiana has little of that. h.h.

Where on Earth are you guys seeing these Hogs??? I have never encountered a wild hog in the State of Indiana. The only Hogs, I see, are on Hog Farms.

There are a few around the state. I think Woody had some on the land he hunts down there, but AFAIK, they've been hit pretty hard. There's also reports of hogs around the Tunnelton/Buhda area along the White River. They need a good source of water and good cover. They aren't easy to find.  |

Younger one are better then older ones. and what their main food sourer is. That's exactly what I've been told. If they have been eating crap, they will taste like crap. Higher density hog populations will be competing for food more, so they won't taste as good as hogs from lower density populations that aren't competing. |

If one does eat the meat from a wild hog then it should be cooked very well. Lots of times these hogs could carry the Trichinella worm, which when ingested will cause the consumer to come down with case of Trichinosis.

Ive ate a lot of wild hog from the swamp lands of Florida and I cant tell the difference between it and domestic hog other than its usually doesn't have as much fat and some cuts can be a little tougher. Now boars meat can be a little stronger but if you soak it in a cooler full of ice and 1/2 dozen sour oranges it takes the strong flavor out of the meat. h.h.

I've hunted them in Florida and wild hog is very good...
Sometimes a little tough...But good...
Michigan has more counties that have wild hogs, than don't...
I am not aware of major destruction that occurs in Florida...
I was looking forward to hunting hogs in my home state...Hmm...

I would love to hunt them here and there is no reason not to. They do not have a season or any restrictions on them. If an enterprising land owner that had them as a problem could lease the land to hunt them or guide the hunters to the pigs.

I was watchin a show on the Outdoor channel here last week... Gusy were hunting them at night with nightvision scope WITH infrared cameras and scopes. AWESOME!! But boy you would have to make sure it was a hog. I was very impressed though. Apparantly the hogs cannot see well at night ... they would get like 5 guys and creep out in the middle of the field until about 50 -60 yards and do the ... 1... 2..... 3... count..... and WOW!! You talk about seein some fire in an infrared and night vision camera  Hogs layin everywhere |
