Hog Hunting in NW Georgia

[cycler]

Are feral hogs a problem in NW Georgia? Are they just a problem for the southern part of the state?

Their not just a problem in the southern part of the state. We are covered up in them in the north east too. I haven't heard much out of the north west folks.

In the far northwest region of the state you'd have a better chance at a white buffalo. They are basically non-existent in Walker,Catoosa, Dade, and Chattooga counties. Somebody will drag one out of Chattooga or Floyd every once in a while.

Thanks for the responses. I am in Lumpkin.

I'm in union county and we're covered up. Why would you want to go way out there for? I'd be surprised if ya'll don't have any.

New to the area and just trying to figure things out.

Lumpkin county has plenty of hogs around the general area. Try the n.f.

Be interesting to see how The Rainbow Family gathering will affect the local area around Burnt Mtn and Winding Stair. 20,000 two legged hog competitors are about to descend on that area.

I live very close to Johns mountain wma. i have not seen any sign there but Johns mountain was mentioned in the article just published about the special hog hunt that they had at the end of may. Has anyone else seen any sign there? Im scouting there weekly looking for them and will mention it here if I see anything.

If there is no sign in the holler behind the lake, then they are not anywhere on John's. At least thats been my experience over the years. Ain't seen any pig sign over there in 4-5 years.

Thanks. I will crawl around back there this next week and see what I can find.
