Wv treats their hogs in southern counties as a valued resource, and has been trying to allow its hog numbers to increase for some time now, but it isnt happening, even with limited hunting opportunities.
Black bear, coyote and bobcat all REALLY work on the piglets.
Thanks for the additional info. Nice to see the other side of the coin on the matter as PGC has had nothing but negative doomsday scenarios for us. Would be awesome to have a chance at an exciting new big game animal...esp one with couple hundred pounds of bacon and sausage on his back! Course the tree huggers we let take over our deer mgt ain't about to go for it!
