elkaholic Report post Posted February 15, 2011 I'm sure there are scattered reports of wild hogs in other locations - some around Alamo lake - and in Jacks Canyon area etc. Slim's named the 4 major areas that have populations where a person could go and find and hunt wild hogs! I've heard nothin from Terry Herndons guided hunts for hogs around Cordes Junction - the price was like 350 per one day hunt but no guarentees ya would even see a hog - Don't know of anyone who actually went on a hunt and harvested a hog - though i know several people who have killed wild hogs in and around that spot.

billrquimby Report post Posted February 15, 2011 This may be the dumbest question of the year, but how do you tell a feral hog from some farmer's pig? Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntlerObsession Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Bill, Probably the easiest way to tell is how fast they run away from you, but location is pretty telltale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted February 15, 2011 I've shot feral hogs in California, but I was with the guy who owned or leased the land both times. I'd hate to shoot someone's prize-winning hogs, just because I didn't realize he was running pigs with his cattle. Virtually everywhere in this state except for residential property, wildlife refuges and National Park Service land is someone's ranch. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roninflag Report post Posted February 20, 2011 wards- how many are down there?? it seems to me that the conditions of a dry state, lots of predators, and lots of hunters with bows and 7mm mags and a season year round with no limit that any feral hogs in az are not going to become a "problem".

Basser15 Report post Posted February 21, 2011 Not many folks will post pics of the feral hogs they kill in AZ. Sultan, how big was that pig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowsniper Report post Posted February 21, 2011 I find watching cockraches laying on thier back kicking their legs after I spray poison on them a little disturbing too. OK not really but you get the point. These hogs devestate certain areas and the farmers have to do what it takes to make a living. Pigs are to farmers what Wolves were/are to ranchers. I would hope these animals are being recovered and the meat being put to use however. Oh and that would make one heck of a video game... I agree, what a BLAST to watch. But your comparison to wolves is REALLY screwed up! The wolves are native, the cows are exotic. The cows ought to be blasted like the hogs. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter Report post Posted December 9, 2011 wards- how many are down there?? it seems to me that the conditions of a dry state, lots of predators, and lots of hunters with bows and 7mm mags and a season year round with no limit that any feral hogs in az are not going to become a "problem". They said the same thing in Texas, but substitute 7mm mags for 30 round AR's, and night hunting/helicopter hunting/trapping/running dogs and stabbing are all legal means there... They are still way overrun with 'em. Once their population explodes, there's no stopping it- a typical sow can drop dozens of piglets a year... I just wish deer were as fruitful.

But your comparison to wolves is REALLY screwed up! The wolves are native, the cows are exotic. The cows ought to be blasted like the hogs. Mark IMO wolves are native to Arizona but before they were intorduced they were trapped and shot out of existance in Arizona. This means that the ecosystem has adapted to their decades-long absence, as evidenced by the healthy, not overabundant, population of big game in these regions. Reintroducing an animal that mother nature has allready accounted for its absence is not a good idea, just look at Yellowstone. Again JMO, it is a heated topic and everybody has an opinion. Sorry for the thread hijack. More on topic I have occasionally seen them areound the Jacks Canyon area as someone elese posted. Hopefully hunters will do their part and kill every pig they are sure is wild on sight. Good for the ecosystem and my belly. Yum yum. Piggy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted December 10, 2011 I hunt sometimes on a ranch on the sanpedro. The ranch/farm next to him raises and charges $ lots to hunt these hogs, I havent been able to kill one but have seen them on his property, who the hel% would raise such a destructive animal for the sole purpose of makin money? I guess I Know the type of people who would but I cant understand the why? if I had the chance, I would kill them all and have bacon for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
