Just how far north and east can one find wild specimens? Not talkin' about game ranches, now, but actual wild game. I'm in PA... do I have to drive down to GA for this? What about NC or TN?

What? Did I ask a stupid question here? How come nobody bit?

All I'm tryin' to figure out is the closes place to go for my first hog hunt.

If I can't get a response here... where the heck can a guy go?

Sorry you have not gotten an answer. I would love to help you but I do not know how close to you there are wild hogs. If you have not found anything on the internet I would give it a while longer as this forum does not get as much traffic as some others.

I don't have the answer to this question either, but I've hunted fenced areas in Pa., VT and NY and had a real good time. You will find it close to home, cheaper in most cases than travelling to Ga. and if you find it less than sporting bring something other than a high powered scoped rifle. Try a bow, handgun or muzzle loader. But don't miss out on the fun so close to you.

According to this website, you can find them as close to you as Virginia or West Virginia. I don't know about hunting opportunities there.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the input and will check out the site that Charles posted.

Hello!
I went to Tennessee to get mine and had a great time! Mine was 255lbs but they commonly get 300-400 pounds where I was. Its in Monteray Tenn. Borders eastern KY.

Those states you mentioned do have them (NC,TN)GA has them also. I dont have a complete answer to your question either but thought id let you know that those staes you mentioned do have wild populations of wild hogs.

Uji:

where at in PA are you? Update your profile, please.

Profile updated...

There is a place in Ontario (name?????) and a place in New York called Lucky star ranch.

Charles Helm, I went to the site you recommended and love it. Everything you ever wanted to know about wild animals but were afraid to ask. Great site.


Good luck and good shooting,
Eterry

What kind of snake are you holding in your Namibia photo album?

I consider the northeast like Pa, NY state, I know Pa has some decent hog hunting, might look into something there

Cold:
Uji was looking for wild hogs, unfenced. There are a lot of fenced preserves that are "close" to fair chase. Here in NY, VT and PA. In any case they are a blast to hunt and you always get your man or beast.
