Default Searching for feral hogs in southern PA

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.

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.
