I've never heard of any hogs being in any of those states, unless in a farmers pen(or maybe an obscure contained hunting ranch). I'm positive there aren't any wild or introduced hogs in any of those states. I doubt any of the game and fish departments have ever allowed introduction.

Now that right there's funny Montanan!

I really doubt there's any hog hunting up here either. No game farms like someone else said and any feral hogs winter kill (as do tame ones if you don't take good care of them).

Did see some fairly stout made girls at a bar in Green River that might qualify though.

There is, or was a few years ago, in Idaho. It was a commercial operation. Unfortunately I have no further information on it. I'll post it if I can locate anything.

AFAIK the only Boars & Sows you're gonna get a chance of shooting in MT are Ursine... :wink:

Not that they aren't fun, but I just don't think the Wild Piggies have made it there yet... and when they do the Mountain Kitties are gonna start enjoying Pork.

If Utah is close enough for you, we just hunted a private ranch mid April in Corrine and took 5 hogs. One of the guys went back up last week and got a 900 lb'er. 5 other guys went up last Saturday and their's averaged over 800 lb's. I think his website is riverbendhunts.com . I shot two smaller ones, but still ended up with 280 lbs cut and wrapped. When I get low on pork, I'll go back up there again!!

thanks for the link, I bookmarked the riverbends page...

There are guided hunts in CA but they don't guarantee a result. The only one I know that does is a high fence operation.

I have a friend that used to live in Corrine. Didn't know there was a Hunting Ranch there. I've book marked the page. Am alergic to all kinds of pork but the goat and sheep hunt sounds interesting.

BGR --

There are 2 game ranches that I know of in the Pacific Northwest. One is Canyon Ranch just outside of Cheney, WA. They offer LARGE trophy boar (i.e. 800 lb feral hogs) and trophy buffalo. No other species that I am aware of and no non-trophys (i.e. meat animals). Prices tend be a little on the high side from what I've seen, but the pictures I've seen of the animals taken on their ranch are indeed impressive.

The second ranch is Clover Creek Ranch in central Oregon (about 20 miles outside of Madras). I will be hunting with some friends on Clover Creek Ranch in about 3 weeks. Two of us will be hunting buffalo, and the third will be going after a meat hog. Clover Creek offers feral hogs, Russian boar, buffalo, asiatic water buffalo, ibex and several species of sheep and goats, and they have their price structure broken down for trophy and non-trophy animals. Reservations are needed, typically about a year in advance.
