Can't say I've ever seen any here in Montgomery County...
ArticleThey’re in 26 of 88 counties including Belmont, Gallia, Guernsey, Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington in the southeast.
They’re also in Adams, Brown, Butler, Darke, Preble and Shelby counties.
Reports also have located them in Auglaize, Champaign, Fayette, Logan, Mercer and Pickaway counties, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Any of these that see on my farm will be dead in a matter of a few hours. They have no business in these parts.

If I saw them I would shoot them as well. My grandparents in Guernsey haven't seen them yet but then again they only venture on about 1/2 of their 300 acres.

Yeah Wild Hogs have been a problem in Ohio for a few years now. I used to have a long unpublished internal ODNR report on them from 2005, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, I am afraid it was on my old comp that crashed. It basically talked about all the disease possibilities the wild herd presented and ways to eradicate them including making the "season" open to everyone and not requiring a license to hunt public land for them during the spring and summer and paying wild boar hunters from the south to bring their dogs up here and hunting them.

They already are a problem in Columbus. I almost got trampled by a herd of about six of them at the breakfast buffet at Frisch's this morning when they brought out a fresh pan of French Toast sticks.
For crying out load - if you're a size 26, buy size 26 sweatpants. Like, still being able to squeeze into your old 22's is going to impress us?

Pretty much like that or a wild boar. They have used pit bulls in the past to hunt them.darbypitcher22 wrote: I've never even seen one of these things... do they kind of look like a razorback?

Haven't seen any ,but last year we saw some pot bellied pigs that had probably escaped from some Amish mans fence. I wanted to go hunt them down because they were "wild pigs", but everyone else just laughed.

Wild Hog doesn't taste anything like your store bought pork.

About 6 months ago we had an article in our Jackson CO paper about wild hogs destroying many crops of local famrs on the Jackson/Vinton/Ross borders....farmers said they saw dozens at a time.
Sp apparently they are still around here.

I lived in Ross County for 20 years and never saw one. I lived right next to Great Seal Park also. Saw plenty of deer never any hogs.
