Wild Boar Hunting Ohio
 

Has anyone hunted boar in Ohio? Please tell me your experience with the preserve you hunted...

The ones I know of in Ohio are pretty much a joke. It's hardly hunting. They know the habits and locations of the animals and the kill is inevitable or guaranteed.

There's a couple in Vinton county and some in the southeast.

My neighbor went to one in Vinton county and he killed a huge boar. Paraded it around like he stalked a rhino or something. The place he went was around 200 acres fences in with all kinds of exotics.

Like I said...I don't consider this hunting at all.

JMHO

pekbombguy,

pro-line is right. i used to hunt on land that bordered on of those game reserves down here in lawrence county (he went under about 4 years ago)and i saw everything from big horn sheep to elk. But his specialty was "so called" wild pigs and boar and i saw lots of them and i also saw lots of hunters (from my tree stand) hunting them and shoot them. Everyone that hunted them always got one.....always. At first i wanted to go, but then i figured out they were fenced in and could not get away, plus he used dogs, and like pro line said, they knew where the food plots and places were to go after them. But i did see some HUGE ones get taken, but thats just my opinion........you may enjoy it alot. I just wish we had some wild ones running around in the woods to hunt.

If you want to pay to hunt and are going to pay that much you could check into going to the smokey mountains. When I lived in N.C. they are a HUGE problem and they have good hunting there. A non-resident license is 125 dollars and you can kill 2. I went to california and stay with a buddy of mine and pig hunted for about 50 bucks more........just an idea of what i payed and to get a ball park figure so if you call to find out how much it costs to hunt at a "ranch". Both of my hunts were for truly wild animals and they were "quality" hunts.
