in Ohio, the Division of Wildlife actually encourages eradiacation of any wild hogs seen. there is no closed season or bag limit. they want hunters to kill all of them. Is the same true in Indiana?

down here in martin county we see them pretty often. Our dnr has been telling us to shoot them if we see them and just be sure to report it. Next time i bring another down i'll put up a picture.

I shot one several years ago on some ground I deer hunt in eastern lawrence county.It went about 225lbs and took 3 shots with my 30/30 to take it down.One night I was shinning down in those bottoms I see at least 20,mostly babies,but that's been a few years and haven't seen any more.I keep hoping they will come around again.They are pretty good eating...

I would shoot them, because they will become a problem if not already.

Here's what the Indiana Hunting Guide says: Feral Hog ReportingPopulations of feral (or wild, free-ranging) swine have been a problem in pockets around the state. In addition to being a disease/predatory threat to Indiana livestock and poultry production, they are known to cause damage to crops and native plants and are detrimental to native wildlife and habitats. As part of a risk assessment program, BOAH asks hunters who spot or take a feral hog to report the animal to the agency. Reports help BOAH and DNR determine if additional census, disease monitoring and/ or control steps are necessary. Anyone who sees or takes a feral hog should call BOAH at (877) 747-3038 or email animalhealth@boah.IN.gov to report the approximate location, number, sex and estimated size of the animal(s). So kill 'em!

Looks like it. You should set out a trap or something, because if it has friends, your garden, crops, and anything that grows are has mud will be destroyed. it'll also taste good of you catch it!
