Searching for feral hogs in southern PA

[LJ Harbaugh]

Been hunting for the "hogs" in southern PA, finding lots of signs ,but no hogs yet. Do they frequent the same areas often? Trying to learn something about these elusive creatures.

Might be more input in the NE forum, I've moved it here/there for better results, I hope.

i was totally unaware that there were hogs in PA.

i think this should be in the "hogs and exotics" forum... but let me know where there are hogs in PA, cause i would love to shoot one.

A couple of years ago a friend shot 1 in tunkhannock, He though it was a bear coming then there were many of them so he shot one of the bigger ones..

maybe try contacting the PGC headquarters for the region. im sure they will give you all the info they know. noone that knows anything about them wants them here.

I know I read an article saying they are in Somerset County.

Everyplace that has em wishes they didn't. Everything in the outdoor press lately has said that we neeed to nip this in the bud and kill all we see before they take hold. Unfortunately, it may be too late. they are very destructive to habitat and compete directly with deer. Both sides of the deer wars should be united on this issue. Get rid of the pigs.
