Need some of my fellow hunters to read over this - check out the executive letter (skip to page 3)

Clearly states that it legal to kill as many as the porky bastards as is possible except in 3 counties where they are protected.

Am I reading that correctly? The letter is dated May 08....

sorry here is the letter:

Yes you can hunt and kill feral swine in PA except the areas where there is a trapping program going on.

We don't have those little porkers down here in the special regs areas. Are they running rampant where you are?

The closest I came to seeing a pig in the woods is about 10 yrs ago I was bear hunting in Pike County in the DWGNRA and saw a goat in with a herd of deer! Didn't shoot it but after telling the Ranger what happened, he said I should of shot it. Never saw the goat again.

Don't yinz still have that piggy farm up there that lets manly men hunt penned in farm animals for a grand? I thought that's who was taking the blame for the entire state being infested. One poked a hole through the fence and then hundreds of them made a run for it going wee wee wee wee all over PA.

So where CAN'T we hunt them?

Where are these critters a problem? I would love to help out.

Funny thing is......where there are wild piggies running around...you can not hunt them (special trapping counties).

But

Be patient, they will soon spread to the rest of the state with the current regulations and we can all hunt piggies.

Down side is that our deer, turkey, grouse, etc hunting will most likely suffer as the piggies destroy their habitats.
