Hog hunting question?
I have a few – First, where is a good place to go wild hog hunting that closest to Michigan? I don’t know where you can find any in Michigan. Also I primarily hunt in public land, I can find a few places on private land to hunt but again I have no idea if they have any wild hogs there.

Also do you eat them after you kill them? Sorry if that’s a stupid question I just don’t know.
Where at down south? I’m willing to drive half way down the country if necessary. Just looking for some good hunting.

You can go to any southern state and check with their game dept. They can tell you which state hunting reserve has the biggest hog problem. ( hogs are a problem in all the southern states) In my state (Louisiana) they are legal to kill from the start of squirrel season to the end of deer season- that would be from the first Sat. in Oct. to the end of deer season in mid Jan. There is no daily limit or season limit on them. Kill all you wish. The only requirement after obtaining the proper hunting licenses and permits is that there is some sort of hunting season going on in the area you will be hog hunting in. Hogs in the south are a deer hunters worst nightmare when the population gets out of control. They eat all the acorns, stomp out all the deer tracks, make so much noise feeding that deer will not come around them. and will even eat any deer that you could not find after shooting that you had to leave overnight. They will even eat the deer pills under the acorn trees, making it look like a deer had never been around that area. On a previous lease that I was on, I had 78 hogs come out by my stand before 10 AM. They were racing each other to get any acorns that had dropped during the night. How can you hunt deer under those conditions?

You might want to do a Google search for hog hunting around Michigan, I’ve seen some stories on the Hunting channels about hogs in Michigan but I can’t recall where it was. Also check with Michigan Fish and Game for information. Yes you can eat them, very lean and tasty meat depending upon their diet.

I have an answer for the last question, yes you can and I eat them, they’re in all truths a pig, which the meat is pork, pork chops, ribs, etc. the meat will just be a little tougher and gamy tasting since it’s wild and has a chance to run around compared to grocery store pork since it’s usually grain fed, younger animals.
the best things about wild meat are it doesn’t contain the chemicals and steroids grocery meat does and it’s cheaper, only the costs are the trip to get there, the effort of hunting and the cartridges, you likely have the gun already.

The young tender ones under 150 lb easily fall to a 243. The regular mature hogs average 250 lb, and tender cuts rule the day, ruled by average deer rifles. BUT there are some really big porkers out there, and USE ENOUGH GUN is the rule of the day, as they can bite off a hunters head, like the two in the page at http://www.handypost.info/ .

I’ve also heard of a few places to hunt hogs close to michigan. Yes you can eat them. It is much better than buying pork chops at you store and much healthier.

There are plenty of hogs up North, sure, not as many as down in the South, but there’s still some up there. Hogs will adapt to an area w/ cooler temperatures very easily- they will grow thick, coarse hair which will protect them from the elements.

Yes, you do/can eat hog. Not a stupid question if you don’t know. Only stupid question is the one that goes unasked (if it’s a genuine question). You can cook cuts of wild hog just like you do farm raised pork.

Like Larry said- make sure the caliber you use matches the size of the hog. Up in North Ga, there were 2 hogs taken that were over 800 lbs. The first one is about +/- 890 lbs and the other- +/- 1,100 lbs.

Here’s one that were taken in Fla that weighs between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs:

I can’t help you with places near home, but wherever there are domestic pigs, there are likely to be ferals, whose ancestors escaped a pen.
Of course you eat them. No sense letting all that pork go to waste! But note the answer about bacon and ham supposes that you have a way to cure those cuts, and you may not have anybody nearby that can do that for you. As a side note, if you’re meat-hunting, you may want to pick those 80 pound shoats or 150 pound sows. If you’re thinning the herd and shoot the big old boars, it’s been my policy to find somebody who wants them, because they’re tough and often pretty rank: cooking them can stink up your whole house.
