Coach,
This is a pretty dumb question,but do you have feral hog hunting in your area???

Believe it or not,they are protected in my state. They are considered to be domestic/farm animals.

Some have started to show up here in New England and probably in short order,they will be a problem.

You guys are right, Ethan has gotten a lot of confidence and pride from hunting with his Dad. I am also glad my Son in law has not taken that #23 off his belt since I gave it to my daughter for Mother’s Day.

Wayne:

There are way too many in our area!

They tear up farm land, lawns, exposed plumbing, etc.

I've had 3 close friends and 2 students killed by running over hogs on the highway, losing control of their vehicle, running off an embankment, and rolling their vehicle.

Our FFA chapter sponsors a hog hunt contest every February. In 2019, the hunters brought in over 2,500 hogs. Nobody ever even noticed a dent in the population.

Coach that sounds like an awesome hunt quota- too bad it did not impact the population overall.

Coach,
Thank you for the information. Sorry to hear of the untimely deaths of your friends.

I sent an email to my state representative asking him to introduce legislation to delist feral hogs from being domestic to pest/invasive status so they may be controlled.

I doubt if that will be done,and then when the feral hogs become a problem,they will just sit back,wring their hands and blame someone else.

I understand that the damage to crops,land,and resources is enormous.

I understand that farmers/ranchers in Texas welcome feral hog hunters and that there is no bag limit ???

Hogs are considered "pests" here in Florida and there is no limit and no dedicated hunting season. Below is slightly younger Capt. Chris with a nice hog, killed during a bow hunt in Immokolee, Florida.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
PS: The knife is a RMK "Griffin Drop Point Hunter"...CCS

Might have posted before how our vet in Florida gave up hunting hogs after four of his friends got sick with brucellosis.

The disease can be serious.
