A year or two ago, it was legal in NJ to take feral hogs. Does anyone know the status of that? I have not read anything in the digest this year (the proposal for regulations). I believe last year it was in section 23 or 25.
Anyone know anything?

I know that last year it was legal in Gloucester County, I believe zone 25, but it may have been just a one year thing. Wait till the official digest comes out and that should tell you for sure. If not, call F&G and ask.

Last year zone 25, and probably again this year, I talked to Big George the other day, and thats what they are hoping for. Apparently there was alot of pressure in the area they were in, and they spread out.

It was zone 25 last year. It's my understanding that they'll likely allow feral pig hunting again this year but we'll find out in august for sure.

never seen a feral hog in nj,i hunt zones 1,2, and 5 mostly though, no pigs up this way i guess.

There was an article in American Hunter (NRA MAG)it listed Nj as having the makings of a wild hog problem.

I think There was.

But if i rember correctly, you could shoot them when deer hunting but u couldent hunt for them?

Last year was the first year I heard of it. I think the season coincides with 6 day but I'm not positive.

If the TV show I saw on the Discovery channel is correct it won't be long before we have them state wide. They have proliferated all of the southeast states and are moving north. Their reproduction rate is unbelively high.

When and if they do arrive I hope it doesn't become a political football like the bear hunt.

I saw that program, they're becoming a real problem everywhere.

It coincided with all the deer seasons from early bow all the way through the gun seasons and winter bow.

The feral hog season ran thru the deer seasons, you had to use deer legal weapons, and have a deer tag in possession. You didn't use the deer tag to tag the pig, they had a regular check in station you went to. They didn't want guys carrying deer weapons in the woods, saying they were hunting pigs, when in reality....

Hey Whiskers, do I smell a Hog-A-Thon this year?

those pigs don't stay long if the pressures on. they move onto private land.
but the public place there are on is so thick you won't be able to drive them all out.
ain't that right wiskers. the piece by the lake and tracks is THICK.
good luck to those who chase them.
