There's some guys over on IndianaSportsman.com that have been shooting some Hoosier hogs. This past weekend they got a sow and 3 little ones down in Jackson County along the White River....  The video quality isn't the greatest but they are interesting. Click on the pic to view. The 3 Little Pigs....  ...and Momma too!   |

.308? Does not take near that much gun to kill one plus with the 308 you have the recoil and the price for shells. Does sound like a ton of fun with the night vision though.

not too mention how expensive quality night vision gear is. I'd go with an AR platform in .223, some of Winchesters new Razer Back ammo, and early evening hunting.

Are these wild, free roaming hogs? If so, what kind of population of these do we have?

Are these wild, free roaming hogs? If so, what kind of population of these do we have? Yes, and spotty at best, but some that live in the area will tell you there are no hogs in Indiana. Surprisingly, the problem is getting landowner permission to hunt them. After hearing how destructive that can be to property and farm land, I would think the farmers would be begging people to take care of the hogs. |

the population is definately spotty in martin county i know of only 2 spots that have hogs and they tend to stay in those extremely small areas and one is an area no one can hunt and the other is just too few to make it worth the effort

I saw on facebook where some folks killed 11 on their farm in Lawrence County today. Sounds like they're getting thick down there!

Talk about hogs has been quiet lately. I saw that photo of the hogs in Lawrence Co. I think the people that have them on their property want them for themselves. That's a lot of bacon from a free roaming hog. That is just my opinion too. It's kind of like in Texas. They say they have this massive hog problem but I have yet to see an outfitter that has reasonable prices for hog hunts (in Texas). It's like they're using the hogs for their own financial gain. Keep prices up and the herd will stay up too. Not as many people will pay the higher prices along with the travel expenses to get there. That's what keeps me from it. I'm sure there are some outfitters in Texas that are reasonably priced on the hog hunts but all the ones I've seen are kind of pricey. Some do include cleaning and butchering the hog but others don't. You really have to research these guys to make sure you're getting the right one. Ok I'll stop now.

One of the reasons I've heard for the hush, hush on the hogs in Indiana is their tendency to run. These farmers don't want hunters pushing them onto another person's land.
Seems kind of bogus to me, but that is something I've seen thrown out in the past.
Reading the comments on the picture on the Facebook, the guy said all of the hogs in the photo were trapped. I don't recall the exact wording, but he said it is very difficult to hunt the hogs and it is far easier to trap them if you're looking to take out numbers.
