Hogs in Utah?

[bob_catslayer]

I would like to try hog hunting but I'm in Utah and haven't heard much about it here. Are there any hogs in Utah to hunt?

I think unfortunately us Utah and Idaho boys are out of luck

There are a few places that release domestic pigs but no actual hog hunting here.

Last time I was there, I talked to a land owner in northern Utah, and he said he had a few on his property.

There is a ranch I've hunted north of the Great Salt Lake called RiverBend Trophy Hunts. Corinne, Utah.
I've hunted there. but they are feral hogs.

There is an other spot, Fremont island, just north of antelope island.
It has russian boars on it. Justin Barrows runs the ranch.
There was a news story about a hog that swam from that island where they live, over to the antelope island causeway.
The fish and game got real upset about that because they don't want the hogs breeding on the mainland.
The news report said the hog hunt in Utah may be stop to prevent the hog wild devastation that is happening in Texas.
Here is the news story.....

Here is another report about the state officials asking hunters to shoot the wild pigs moving into S. Utah from Arizona.

He siad he got a 200lb pig with a pistol.
I shot a 200 pounder in Colorado with my 44 mag so I've tasted a little of that action.
