West virginia dnr says hogs there (which is more northern part of hog range) have 3 to 5 total piglets per year. Not the muliple litters and higher numbers of the south.
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.

Corny has a good point. WV has been very protective of the small area that holds its pigs yet the numbers have not exploded there.
It also makes sense that PA lacks the overgrown dense swamps of the deep south and would not provide the same kind of safe haven from our 900,000 hunters.

Let them come as long as we have liberal seasons just as the coyote. When the day comes I'll have my bow and beans ready. I am considering going on a pig hunt next spring at an island on the Susquehanna in Lancaster. They have ferral pigs goats and rams. I just want to bring some pork home, I believe it costs $350 for a good sized pig.

Those jokers are some FINE eatin'! If you ever see anyone say otherwise you tell them they are out of their flippin' gourd! lol. Better than any store bought pork. The loins are much "finer" grained and not "stringy" like store bought pork. They get EXTREMELY tender when roasted. Slits made in the loins, stuffed with several garlic clove halves, with carrots potatoes a few cups of water in a covered roasting pan, all sprinked with garlic salt... Cook a few hours on 325...Melts in your mouth.
I REALLY need to get back down to South Carolina or Georgia!

Does this mean the PGC now owns these pigs and one has to pay them to hunt them?
We got an evasive species and they want to charge people to hunt them?
What would happen if war broke out? Would the PGC charge us to shoot the enemy also here in PA? I see a pig licensed or not I will shoot it.
