Hog Hunting in Eastern Tennesse
I'm going to be in Knoxville for 6 weeks in January and February. Was curious if there were any hog hunting opportunities in the area.
Thanks in advance. |

Are you allowed to hunt hogs in Tennessee still? I thought I read in this years Hunting and Trapping guide you were not allowed to hunt them anymore.

They have new definitions on Feral Hog and Wild Boar too that separates and protects the two. |
My friends and I are actually thinking of going to loshbough. does anybody have any thoughts on this place?

Why on earth would they stop hog huntn??? Aren't they the most destructive feral rats?

It's been a while, but we hunted Wilderness hunting preserve in Monterey.....don't know how close that is to Knoxville, or if it may be an option. Had a great time all the times we've been there.

Monterey is not too far from Knoxville. There are a few ranches in Cumberland county. Unfortunately, the TWRA shut us down for statewide hogs. Of course this has to happen while I am stationed overseas and could not get any last minute hog hunting in. @ hookem, they did it because people were not shooting them on sight. A lot of people were promoting their reproduction and growth in order to guide hunts for them and what not. I do think the state made a bad decision by banning hunting them though. Heck, I would not pass on one! Big pigs, small pigs, short pigs, tall pigs, I will whack any of them I see if I can!

Anywhere close to Great Smoky natl park, or the national forests near it. I remember seeing many in western north carolina when I had a small house there. That area now though is a huge sprawl of giant houses, golf courses, and country clubs. I've never walked on the tennesee side, but I heard they have a lot in the mountains close to the north carolina border.

They are using reverse psychology. If we can't hunt them then that would deter anyone bringing them in. |
