Post by: Gearhead1940 on November 17, 2009, 09:47:25 AM: Down in Puyallup there was a great place for pig hunting. It was just off Valley Ave. It was called the Firwood - lots of pigs - tended to congregate there after sunset on the weekends. That place burnt down a few years back, so I don't know where they go now. :dunno:

Post by: big J on November 17, 2009, 11:37:29 AM: there was pigs in the wynoochee area but are gone now. A guy I ran into fishing a 2 or 3 years ago shot one with his bow that year down by mossyrock while he was elk hunting in the late season I saw the pic it was a big pig seems like he said it was 3 something.

Post by: DOUBLELUNG on November 17, 2009, 12:25:21 PM: I saw three small barrows, 35lbs each or so, up the Chiwawa River Rd in Chelan Co. on the WNF several years ago. They were obviously recently dumped there by someone. If I had been packing a gun, I would have brought them home.
