5 STATES WITH RELATIVELY-NEW HOG HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES

[Sticky]

Honestly, those big ones when we got one down in Tx went to the help, we ate the younger tender ones for dinner...

The older and bigger the pig, the more trichinosis in them. Same with bears. Give me the young ones any day.

Ive heard St Mary's has them. There have also been reports of them in Calvert County and out near Cumberland.

Was some pot bellied pigs gone wild over in Charles a few years back.

And it was QUITE a few years ago that someone brought some back from Florida with them.
Animal control stopped it before it got started.

Brucellosis is an issue too.

Back in the 60’s my grand dad told me many stories of the wild boars hooking and goring people and occasionally killing men caught in the open and other men having to climb trees and stay there until the boars got bored and left

Could have been all bullshyte and maybe it was just to keep a little boy close to the house but he seemed really serious

Oh, in Charles county, the newburg and Newport area

Yep, we were hunting feral pigs near Macon. The butcher who processed the pig told us the story how he caught Brucellosis when cut himself several years ago. His experience was really unpleasant. Please wear gloves and don't cut yourself gutting pigs.

My son just got back from a trip to TN for a hog hunt.

It was a success! His first hog!

If you don't mind saying, what area of the state did he hunt?

I’ll pile on and ask was it guided, public or family
Thanks

I was always told feral hogs have been instructed not to enter into Western Maryland- and they obey! Must be smart animals.

Seeing them with increasing frequency on the road shoulders of I-75 down here in SW FL … all small, typically in groups of 4-6 and they pay zero attention to the clogged lanes of vehicles going by at 70-90 mph !!!

ETA: It just occurred to me to be thankful they are not (as far as I know) prone to running out into traffic. That’d spell absolute disaster!

Resurrecting old thread of sorts....................

Found what looks like a small boar on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (near Roberts). Give it a few years and we won't need to travel for some hog hunting.
