   I work in Marietta and talk to a bunch of farmers and hunters every week.. I have not heard one person mention feral hogs.  Now coyotes, Bobcats, cougars , and bears yes..  Even saw a Picture of the cougar and know the fellow quite well that took it. It was near his barn, Lurking around his sheep. Funny the ODNR knows nothing about them . He is surrounded by Wayne national forest. I've personally have seen the black bears.  Ohio's getting wild again. Personally I don't think we need the bear or cougars.

You guys are all talking about using hanguns on hogs, well I was looking in the Ohio Regulations book and says, "A person possessing a valid Ohio issued Concealed Carry license may carry their concealed weapon but it may not be used to shoot, shoot at, or kill any wild animal."  Now may be I am wrong, but I am looking at it in the book.  So I thought I would tell you just in case you thought on taking your handgun out.

Hope this helps

They are saying that they want to use their handguns as their Primary weapon. In the state of OH we are allowed to hunt with handguns of 357 mag or bigger w/ at least a 5 inch barrel I believe. They are not saying to go out hunting hogs with their 45-70 then at the last minute pull their little 38 or 9mm outta their back pocket and shoot the hog with it.

The way it was explained to me ( by 2 diffrent Game Wardens ) was that you could carry your CCW weapon while hunting with the proper permit but you could NOT use it as a hunting weapon .

As for a hunting Handgun , the Cal. & Length Regs only apply to using one for Deer hunting , all others can be used to hunt any game legal in Ohio . I have used 22 and 32 cal pistols to hunt tree rats for years as well as for Fox and Coons too .

Are there any reports of the Hogs on State Property.  I don't have much time to get out and talk to all the farmers...  I am in central Ohio so any direction that I go would be fine.  Just need to kill some meat as I got skunked for Deer in two states this year..

Hey guys, I live in Jefferson county.  A few weeks back I heard coyotes howling and going crazy.  I was deer hunting in muzzloader, and while I was hunting found a skeleton of a wild pig.  I brought the head to the house to see what my Dad and brother would say, they agreed it was a wild pig.  The skeleton is not recent.  I would love to put one in my freezer. 

Hope this helps

I am a little late posting on this subject.  I live in Marietta and hunt exclusively in Wayne National Forest.  I have not seen any sign of hogs in the areas that I hunt.  I hunted wild hogs in the southern part of WV as a resident some years ago.  If the hogs were there, I would know it.   My father retired last fall and spent numerous hours scouring the woods...We don't have hogs here....

I talked with two wildlife officers last weekend at an outdoors show. The subject of Ohio hogs came up and they both said there are some but not nearly as many as people think, and the groups of them are very localized.  They did mention Marietta and the Wayne Natl Forest, a very big area and maybe they could be in one small section?  They both believed they were from game ranches and escaped due to poor fencing.

The Section Of Wayne national Forest They were Refering to Was in Monroe CO. Just North Of Marietta and South Of Greysville . A Farmer Had a Few Head Get Loose a Few Years Back . I guess The Local Guys pretty well Took Care Of them This Fall and early Winter.

There is talk of some wild hogs being on private property east of Marietta in a small town called Barlow.   
I am told that there used to be a preserve there that was shut down due to infection control issues.   There is a large tract of Wayne National near Greysaville called "Lamping Homestead".  I have coworkers that live and hunt there.   As you say any hogs that were killed must of been ferals from local farms.

I live close to Zaleski state forest and have seen hog sign (hog wallows), but no hogs. I'm hoping to shoot one with my recurve. I'm going to try baiting if its allowed on state forest property. I'll try to keep everyone posted.

I hear the ODNR would like them all shot.  I hear southern Ohio is having some hog problem.  A couple years ago I talked to a 17 year old kid in Pauling who shot a 250 pound sow in southern Ohio while deer hunting she came charging at him he shot her 3 times with a 12 gauge she dropped.  I know they are around all over and spread out real fast.
