have seen them and taken them from that size to one nice one that escaped property..
first time we saw them we were at a loss, we called the game dept and they said all you need is a hunting licence and there is no season or bag limit. they are not native and they wanted them gone.
it has been along time since i was there but last time i still saw plenty of sign of the little buggers left in those woods.
they taste great by the way :drool: :drool :chuckle: :chuckle:

Shoot that muther..........or let me shoot it!! :chuckle: Im down to eat it too!!............found a pig that had gone wild once but I did not have a gun....
I'm afraid my a## would be in a sling if I put a bullet in him... :bdid: if it makes ya'll feel better though, he's not in Yakima. I don't think he'd survive very long around here anyways. Now feral hogs, shoot away. I've bagged a few of those in Arkansas and Missouri

shane is correct. the game dept wants them gone from the wild.
when we called before they said shot them all if you can. (way to many for that and way to thick were we bust them)
like i said earlier a small game licence and we were good to go with nothing to worry about..
but like you we were unsure so we called and got the green light from the dept.
happy hunting. ;)

dave8pt.
shane is correct. the game dept wants them gone from the wild...
the only thing that's keeps me from dropping him is his location and the fact that he's pretty much become tame and isn't venturing far from his home turf. i'm not one to support the introduction of a non native species into an area because of the consequences that could result from it, more specifically the harm that they could do to the native species of animals that live there, but i'd be lying to you if i said he hasn't grown on me a bit through the past couple of years. besides, i have a feeling that one of these days, he's going to wonder out of his home turf and someone's going to connect with him.

if it is a non-native species then why would you need a hunting license for it?
not sure why. when we called it was years ago now.
we called the office in mill creek and that is what they told us.
after killing a few of them back then i did go back last year and their sign is still all over the place.... can't miss the little ba@$%ds!!! we always use our achery gear because we were usually hunting blackies at the same time.
