Looking for a good pig hunt

[Turkeyslammer]

Looking for a good place to go pig hunting in Washington or Oregon!

I don't think we have pigs in our state :bash:neither is Oregon.I heard Cali has them.

Thank goodness we don't have them. Talk to Carp....he knows a thing or two about pig hunting in Cali.

I hunted one night with them and it was awesome.

We have 'em in Oregon... Don't need a license to hunt them on private ground with permission, similar to coyotes, rabbits, rats, etc. Don't know of anyone outfitting, and it's kind of hard to get access (surprisingly).

Last year I was looking into nearest hog hunts too and most occur in Oregon because it's already widely known OR has hogs.  However that being said hogs are very capable swimmers and have crossed the Columbia River.  It's not uncommon for hogs to swim from island to island in swift ocean currents, as shown below ( 3 Wild Boar Swimming - Vildsvin simmar till Asperö ). 

And Yes.... WA DFW has already confirmed small populations of hogs have already started reaching as far north as the Olympic Peninsula, but for the most part are still on the outskirts of WA boarders.

"There was one report of a feral swine population on the Olympic Peninsula, but it is no longer there. The Quinault Indian Nation hunted them in the past. Feral swine were sighted in southwest Washington and are abundant in California, Oregon, and Idaho." Source: http://www.invasivespecies.wa.gov/priorities/feral_swine.shtml

Just my .02$

How about a Javelina hunt? I am looking for info for pronghorn and deer in Wyoming and could swap out info for javelins, coues deer, or muleys in New Mexico and Arizona.

Written by some college kid I expect has never been to Oregon or Idaho.  Abundant in Oregon and Idaho?   They are swimming the Columbia River and have already started reaching as far north as the Olympic Peninsula?

This can't be a real WISC publication, can it?   Hard to take a council serious with that kind of information.  Also hard to recognize it when they do not consider Canadian wolves as an invasive species!

Cool video, but the post had me laughing me arse off.

we do over here on the eastside, there is a ranch and I have personally seen them feral

[Bullkllr]

I'd say try the Bremerton area...from what I've heard anyway...

Northern Cali is the closest Nor sure why hogs haven't taken over here on the west state,hair slip ..seen plenty of 2 legged ones here but they're off season

I used to hunt pigs in Cali and still if possible. Paso Robles and King city have the best pigs. If you looking for public land to hunt.. well good luck. Check with BLM in those area and military installations. PM me if you want to know more.

Again... we have them in OR. Here's an chunk from the OR regs, pg. 24:

"Feral swine are an invasive non-native introduced species in Oregon that destroy important wildlife habitat and may prey on livestock and native wildlife, with potential to transmit diseases to wildlife, livestock and humans. Feral swine are included in the Oregon Invasive Species Council’s list of “100 Worst List” to keep out of Oregon. It is very important to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the US Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Agriculture to eliminate this invasive non-native species before they become established. It is legal to hunt feral swine year round on public land with a hunting license and there is no harvest limit. On private property, feral swine are defined as a “predatory animal”. Hunting feral swine on private land does not require a hunting license, but you must have landowner permission to act at their agent. It is your responsibility to determine if any swine found meet the definition of “feral swine”(see definitions page 81).
PLEASE REPORT ANY FERAL SWINE
OBSERVED, KILLED,
OR FERAL SWINE DAMAGE
