I started this thread so that anyone wanting to get together for hog hunting could talk about it and maybe we can start something going.

Sounds interesting; I wonder how one would react to a 35 Whelen?

I have allways wanted to go, but never seen any in the state to go after in the wild. seen many porkchops that are in them pens, is that the same hunting as some of those pened hunts.

You all need to check the other threads. The hogs are here in Indiana just not in my neck of the woods yet. There were two shoats killed last year just outside the Versailles State Park that I think someone was trying to get a stock started. I do not want to see them spread but I would love to help control them wherever they currently are which seems to be primarily SW of Bedford along the White River. I grew up hunting them in the SW Smoky Mtns. and I have seen the damage they can do.

I know some people that have property that have hogs on them. I haven't personally been hunting there yet. I would love to go down there and try it out.

They are in the Medora, Leesville area, which is just East of Beford or West of Brownstown. I Turkey Hunt a spot that has sign on it. I've never seen one there but the sign is everywhere. They get so much pressure from the locals, that they keep moving from property to property. I duck hunt in the bottoms around there and saw one dead in a field. Alot of people drive the roads out there looking for them. There pretty spooky.

Hogs are much more spooky than deer. I hunted them in the Smokies during the 1960's and you never could sneak up on one. No matter how hard we tried all we ever saw was where they had been. I've got close enough that the water in a wallow was still moving but the only time I saw one was when they were being run by dogs. I would like to give that a try this Feb. if anyone is interested.

I'd be up for it. That would be a great fill-in between deer and turkey seasons. The Ruger .44 magnum carbine would be a perfect gun for the job.

I hunted hogs in the Big South Fork in Tennessee, but didn't have any luck. I would love to reduce their population if the opportunity arises.

I hunt in that area (Leesville)...I knew at one time they ran up and down the holler I hunt near...About 3/4 of a mile down the way I shined around 15 or 20 (that was a while ago though)We took a couple hogs near Tunnelton too,it's hard to hunt any where through there these days because of morons shooting up their equipment...

It is hard to find places to hunt period these days but I am confident that if the hogs are there the farmers in the area will want them out and hunting with dogs is much better than just trying to shoot them. I will continue this conversation until winter and we will see what happens.

I have personally never seen a wild hog here in Indiana as long as I've been hunting. I've read and heard of other Hunters seeing & bagging them during Deer Season, in years past.

if you are seeing sign in an area take a 5 gallon bucket of shelled corn and mix a quart of diesel fuel into it and bait the area with it .. the hogs will eat the corn if they are there !! the other critters wont touch it will the fuel on it but the hogs love it.. if they are in the area and you bait them they will come!!!

Hogs are a major problem once they come into an area. They repopulate really fast.
