Bummer. Thanks for the info.Ain't seen a wild hog from white city to the border in 30 years.
I think I know right where you are talking about near the Pistol River. Thank you. Gives me a starting point.Some locals in southwestern coos went to redbluff and transported some back in a horse trailer...ranchers were very posses off about it but wouldn't turn them in...
I heard of a herd just a ways further north of Pineville and a little east...a few years ago...they were in the mountains...
Oh yeah...a guy I know went after some just south of rogue river at gold beach...have to access thru private to get to those..pistolriver area...got to say you are looking for your hounds or they won't let you thru....the people at the ranch are caretakers for a land baron...locked up more access to forest service....
I was thinking of helping in the eradicating. The one I killed all those years ago was in the Prineville area, on private property. Guided archery hunt in the snow. Best pork I have ever eaten. What little I was able to eat. The freezer was unplugged by the (X) wife while I was over in Joseph working. Came home weeks later to a bit of a mess.Oregon is very aggressive in eradicating wild pigs. It is a felony to sell a pig hunt in Oregon. And state law requires land owners to have an approved plan to eradicate wild pigs if on private property. There are a few pockets around the state but very few and all on private property. Very little opportunity in Oregon to hunt them.
Is there a big herd of horses on or near the Pistol River property? I've wandered around the Pistol River a little. Mostly Hunter Creek and the Rogue.If you travel up the rogue you won't find pistol river...south a ways and runs into the ocean....
Had many family reunions there....monster cutthroat trout in the little river....unless they are landlocked steelhead....I just didnt see enough aquatic critters in there to feed fish that big....I wanted to grab a pitchfork and gettem....but my great aunt threatened to use it on me...............my grandfather homesteaded on Hunters Creek...
he owned a fish store in Gold Beach after he returned from WW1...
Bull elk got in his garden once.........once.....then it ended up in his icecave..........bet it was delicious.....
