Hogs in CO?

[rondog]

It seems I am reviving a dead thread but does anybody have any new information relevant to the thread? I have not lived here long And would really like to go after some hogs with my bow. Anyone know someone with property or guided hunts or ranches that I can get the info on?

A bow? I'd recommend you stay near some trees to climb. And carry a large sidearm.

LOL we are originally from FL and I have whacked em with a bow, a shotgun, .45 and finally a .22
the .22 is the best weapon I know to get your pig. just hang in the brush make pig grunts have a tree handy for jumping into and when they run under you pop em in the ear, Pork Chops..

you only want 120# or so for eating cause any big ones taste like shit.

800#'er NO WAY, terrible meat.

Take it from a guy that has prolly killed and BBQ'ed well over 100+ pigs.

Took me a minute to find the photos... My father with one and a good friend with another... kinda crappy pictures, I don't have the originals handy.

With a traditional bow...

A couple years ago there was a hog outbreak around chivington. Locals killed em all over the winter. There was an article in the Rocky Mountain News. Called the guy in the article the next spring but they'd been exterminated. DOW was worried about them getting into the Arkansas River Valley and the population exploding. Locals did em a favor.

Exactly the sort of remark I was referring to in the other thread....

DOW is still very concerned about a potential population around Springfield.

So, do you know if (according to the State) are they considered a nuisance animal versus a game animal?

Any chance of getting to hunt them?

Really?

My parents, grandparents, and In-Laws live in Springfield. I grew up in Walsh and will be moving to Springfield in August. I've never seen or heard of any pigs around there. I'll have to ask the local Game Warden next time I'm down that way. Maybe I can get me some hog killin' done.
