I was young and poor! Lol

Been there...

No hogs in SE Parke County. Plenty of deer, turkey, coyotes, bobcats, eagles, hawks, owls and such.

Wish we had hogs so I could use my thermal scope at night....

No, no you don't.

This is what I was told one time about the pigs around here. The story I was told was that a guy over by Leesville was trying to get something started and that’s where they got started.

I know a guy that lives in Leesville his Rots got 1 a few years ago and drug it to his house.

Oh man, DoggyMama freaks out if our dog brings her a chipmunk. I can't imagine how she'd react if she brought her a hog!

The problem will be just like in Texas. Landowners charging exorbitant fees to hunt on their lands to eradicate the wild pigs.

My neighbor said he saw a bobcat in SE Montgomery country; he was driving his golf cart home from a bar at 2 AM.

IN DNR recently published a report that stated bobcats have been comfirmed in every Indiana county. Hogs, and I have no flippin' understanding of hunting them, seem very destructive. My grandmother grew up in Florida and stated they were fast and aggressive. She also claimed most didn't like the meat enough to hunt them and would usually kill them due to the damage they caused. I appreciate hunting and those who do it. But I'd prefer to not have an active hog population in IN. Side note: It's odd that some species are fair game to hunt any time, any where yet they seem uncontrollable like hogs, snakes, weird fish... yet humans are routinely blamed for loss of species/animals due to over hunting. So, we're not hunting the bad critters enough or we simply cannot over hunt bad critters?

Only to those Hamilton Co residents North of 465 and South of Rt38.

Nah...they claim they want them eradicated until they find fools willing to pay....then it becomes "manage".

Yes, most of the hog sightings in Indiana seem to come from near the East Fork White River. I read somewhere that they tend to use river bottoms as travel corridors and spread out from there. I don't here as much about hog sightings as I used to either.

I live on the White river, east of Muncie....no hogs here.

Here is a person who knows the deal.. The only known population was down along the East Fork of the White between Sparksville and Rivervale. In around what is known as the "Devils Backbone"

But they went in and hit them hard... some private landowners down there were trying to keep it hush hush as they liked there no limit hunt anytime deal.

Yes, that is the problem with hogs. They are extremely destructive and will tear up a crop field in no time, not to mention they seem to seek out ground bird nests.

Very destructive is an understatement, they are unbelievably destructive. I was fortunate enough to hunt nilgai on a National Wildlife Refuge property deep in south Texas a few years ago and the hog damage from rooting was incredible. This was a part of Texas that is too dry to really support hogs at maximum capacity and the Feds were actively trapping them but the property still looked like a bombed out war zone covered with hog rooted craters! It had been a cattle ranch that was donated to USFWS and the Feds were trying re-establish native trees on the pastures instead of allowing it to grow up in prickly pear and brush. They must have planted trees on close to 200 acres of pasture, tree tubes and all. I doubt there was more than a tree seedling per acre alive in the whole area as that is where the hogs concentrated their rooting.

I'm probably going to be at the Johnson County fair on Saturday. There will be PLENTY there.

FYI - there were. All of them 2-legged.

JoCo fair (and most all fairs & festivals, if I'm being honest) is a good place to go when you need an ego boost.

I being one of those landowners. The USDA has killed over 750 in my area. Their funding runs out in another 2 months and will be leaving.

I've chased the buggers since 1996 and miss the fun they provided.

You think there's any left to repopulate? Been a long time since I've heard of any killed.
