Hogs in CO?

[pickenup]

There will be plenty at the DNC. Not sure of restrictions, so check with the DOW.

westy, those "SHOULD" be.......NO LIMIT.

I did ask her if I could come up and "remove" (at least part) of her problem pests. But, even though she is COMPLAINING about them, she is a PETA type, and didn't want me to (poor things) KILL them. Go figure. She called DOW and expected them to come up and live trap them, and relocate. I would "relocate" to my freezer, no problem.

I would be willing to live trap them...at lest until they make it to my house...what she don't know wont hurt her, but it'll feed my kids ;-)

There are feral hogs in SE CO, and according to DOW they are considered "invasive species", are not regulated, shoot on-sight. If the lady discussed earlier calls DOW, they will kill the pigs. Oh, the irony.


Article in RMN couple years back

Recent news release by DOW

Apparently there is a ranch in that offers hunts.

If you happen to know anyone in the SE portion of the state, I would love to hunt them also. I suspect if you drove around a little down there and asked, you could find someone who would let your, or maybe charge you a small trespass fee.

Cheers!

The pigs that are running in colorado now are feral hogs that have gotten loose from farmers, and are probigating The DOW has recognized them as a huntable game species, but there are currently no restrictions on season, take, method, or hours. In other words day or night. Only laws that apply are with standard location laws.

As mentioned in the above news release from the DOW on the DOW's website, feral hogs are NOT considered a huntable game species and that is why they are not regulated, in fact they are considered an "invasive pest" that needs to "eradicated" from the state. I noticed you are from the DOW and may have more insight, I'm just reading what is on their website.

What Sniper Tim is saying is exactly what I have read straight from the DOW recently. Even talked to a DOW Officer who reiterated that position - invasive pests which can harm the habitat for actual "game animals".

We looked it up a few months ago in the code book because I have a connection out to the SE that has seen hogs. Didn't see anything in the code book that suggested these as a pest. Just an invasive huntable species that did not require tags, but what was unclear (imagine that a government document that isn't clear) is if you needed a small game license. Best thing to do is find out who the DWM is for the area and get a direct translation from him/her. What was clear was that you could use ANY method of take. Baiting, night lights, howitzer.. so forth.. What I will warn you guys about is making sure if you do harvest one to make sure all meat is cooked well. Personally I have the whole dang thing made into smoked sausage.

With gasoline at $1.50 I can afford to head out for central Texas and get into some real pig shooting. It will happen in February. Primary rifle will be the new Bushmaster 450, a true pig AR.
