I've heard Lawrence County for sure. Rumor has it Southern Brown and Monroe Counties too. Iv'e got friends in Southern Brown but haven't heard them say anything about seeing any.

I have heard reports in southern indiana, the wild hogs mostly come from escape farm pigs that breed and live in the wild. They are also migrating more north over the years from just a couple of states away. I hope that we will soon see a nice wild hog haunting time in indiana. There is nothing like a hog haunt or a hog roast

Actually that is not correct. Not even a little bit.

Show me a farmer who does not know where every one of his stock is. Especially since the hogs are raised in confinement environments so they can grow quicker, leaner, and more efficiently.

Most of the feral hog problems we have in Indiana are from some idiots who are to lazy to drive their worthless tails to another state to kill pigs. So they trapped pigs and brought them back to this state. So they could introduce a very destructive animal into this states environment.

If we have a wild hog haunt, will they be Zombie hogs? They are scary enough but to have evil zombie hogs haunting us would just be too much.

I have hunted hogs in several states while in the military. They do taste good I have smoked several of them. I am always on the look out for places to hog hunt so hopefully they are in Indiana just gives me more reason to be in the woods hunting.

If you call your a CO he can probably get you directed in the right direction to participate.

From what I understand ALL of the hog hunts here are depredation hunts.

I love hog hunting and admit that is one major thing I miss from southern Missouri. A 22lr would work and a large knife if you have some good dogs
