Feral hog hunting in Iowa?
« on: January 27, 2007, 04:38:21 AM »
Anyone know of places to hunt in South Eastern Iowa? a guy on another board said there were hogs around those parts. Looking for non fenced hunting areas.

I've heard there are hogs running around the Mt. Pleasant/ Okland Mills State Park/ Salem area. Mostly on the river bottoms. I've tried off and on to find anyone over there that knows of them for sure, but kinda gave up. Will try to look into it again.

I'd contact the Iowa DNR, since they want to rid the state of feral pigs, if they know where the problem is, they'll let you know. ;)
