Ohio Wild Boar

[GaryL]

Was looking at my hunting regulations (Ohio) and see that Wild Boar has no closed season for them. Any Ohio hunters have Wild Boar running around in there area?  Sure would like too try my max out on one  :lol:

The only ones I know of are on a private "exotic" hunting preserve. I think prices start at over $300. per pig.

Sooo the Ohio Hunting Regulations are written for fenced in hogs ? Must be some Wild Boars some where in Ohio other then fenced in. Will have to check it out. Reckon call or go the Ohio DNR web site and see. :wink:

8:50PM did a search for wild boar at the Ohio DNR site and came up blank :?  will have to call and see where they is Wild Boar in Ohio. :wink:

...I asked about this one a while back...the wildlife officer stated that that reg is in there so hunters can ''take out'' any pigs they see while hunting that may have strayed from a ''game preserve'' (LOL).
He said the pigs destroy the habitat and vegetation, esp for the turkeys.
=============================
id like to take a crack at one but not at 300 bucks a pop.....my uncle went
on a hunting trip to a pig farm/game preserve....said it was terrible, the pigs wouldnt even get up to run away.

Read that brown-trout, I reckon some of pay to hunt places sure could be like that, but most I know about you have to work to get your game. That being said they still be fenced in! I know a fried that went pay to hunt for boar and had a heck of a time but fun time getting his and it was a monster.  THANKS for the information don't think I will see any in this area but one never knows.

I agree....not a lot of pigs to be found in Ohio....probably any found would be within 1/4 mile of one of SE Ohio's pig farms/hunting preserves
( i use the word 'hunting' in its most liberal interpretation.....).
