Hog with tag?

[Kestas69]

Shot this hog last night. Never seen one tagged before. Who does that and for what purpose?

That is more than likely a farm pig that got out.

I've never heard of DNR tagging a feral hog.

 

[Milkman]

I agree with Big7. It’s an tag a farmer put in before he escaped.

That's sure is a nice one though. Congratulations on harvesting one for us.

Keep the tag and call DNR. They may have some kind of tracking going on.

Or a hog tournament

Brought the tag home. Going to clean it tomorrow to see if it has any info on it. Caught tagged striper on Lake Lanier some years ago.

Possibly escaped from a pay to hunt pen?

Oh yeah, nice pig! Gonna make sausage?

I remember a few years back that you had to get hogs tested to use in hog baying competitions so maybe he escaped or they turned it loose

Nooooo....

There is only one good kind of feral pig and that's one that don't get born.

What sg said when I saw it that was my first thought , I was involved in one of the bigger pens in the state and testing and nubbing 20 Bo hogs teeth is a chore , Just like with anything in a pen you have escapees Im betting bay pen

That don't much look like a farm pig.

I worked at a less than desirable plantation in SC , and the owner bought a trailer full that looked these …. They got “ loose “ and were put on a do not shoot list
