Anyone know if there are hogs to hunt here in South nj? Someone told me in Hammonton but every time I mention that to anyone else they act as if they never heard of it! I'd love to get a pig make some sausage prosciutto..... Bacon! Please if you have hog hunting experience in South nj let me know would greatly appreciate it

Asked by The Trentonian how many are in New Jersey there was some hemming and hawing by Guikema, so I asked for an “over or under.”

He guessed about 50 swine are on the loose in South Jersey, mainly in the Gloucester County area, but said even a hunted population can double in five years. The pigs breed once a year, possibly twice, and have two to six piglets in a litter. A problem with control is that they have few natural predators ... unlike the nearly non-existent wild bobwhite quail in New Jersey which was a seminar and future column topic.

A huge concern of the USDA, other than wild pigs turning crop fields into waste land, is that the pigs have the potential of carrying about 30 diseases and 37 types of parasites that can be a threat to livestock, pets and humans. Hunters are allowed to shoot feral hogs in zones 25 and 65 during the regular deer seasons, according to the Division of Fish and Wildlife. If bagged, they must be checked in. Consult the regs. Meanwhile Guikema said any sightings of feral pigs should be reported to Fish & Wildlife or the USDA.

Can you hunt them with an AR?

I go to Pensy to hunt hogs.  Did it three times thus far.

I just realized how dumb my question was. I though yu could hunt coyotes with an AR in NJ, but apparently you can't even hunt them anymore.

You can hunt coyote and fox during the special coyote/fox season during daylight hours with a center fire rifle up to .25cal. So yes you can hunt them with an AR.

 

And during almost every other hunting season you can kill fox or coyote on sight with whatever your using to hunt game with at that moment.

Deptford nj you can hunt hogs. Not saying you will see one. But because of the pig farms they have been around from tint to time.

I heard the Deptford Hogs are a close relation to the Carney's Pt. Mtn. Lion family.

where do you go?

Mohr's Widowmaker in Bainbridge, PA.  They hunt on a 150 acre island.  NO license required.  I usually use a brace of black powder Cap and Ball revolvers.  Last Hunt I used my black powder .50 cal percussion Lyman Trade Rifle w/ a 370 grain conical bullet.

 

Yes it's a bit of a canned hunt, but since I limit myself to using antiques I feel I've compensated for it.  It's a driven hunt and you chase the Hogs and harvest them.  One thing it's NOT is a "Tioga Hunt" (ala YouTube) where you rest your rifle on a trimmed tree branch and shoot a hog while it's under a feeder at a whopping 25 yards distance, lol!  For $375 (instead of $600) it's relatively affordable.

 

I'll be going in March or April again.  I'll also be selling $10 chances on a Hunt for TWO (at Mohr's) featuring not one but TWO Hogs, so you can bring a Buddy on the adventure!  $750 worth of Hunting for a $10 chance.  Interested yet??  LOL, PM me for details and as soon as the particulars are worked-out, I'll let you know what and when.

What's the distance you're shooting at? What's the most common caliber people use there (that isn't black powder)? Will a .308 suffice? I have heard their hide is durable and tough to get any reliable penetration through....

[Shawnmoore81 623]

.308 is fine for hogs. You can do a night trip in sc with ar-10's with thermal

Hogs aren't particularly hard to kill. We use 5.56 out at the ranch in Tx. Most of our shots are under 100 yards, and we prefer head shots. Game over, instantaneously.
