boar in oregon
WANT INFORMATION. I've heard a little of feral pigs in the Cascades but can't find any site with more than a tagline claiming they're here. I live in the Willamette and want to hunt these beasts; cascades or coastal range. Aiming for food, not trophy.
Which load do you recommend? Will be using a 30-30. |

There are some pig hunters guides based somewhere around Redding,
Kalifornica... Maybe they can point you in the right direction for Oregon... Also, check Red Bluff... |

Local gun stores. Local seed'n'feed stores.
Are there any locally published hunting&fishing magazines/newspapers in your area? If so, tons of commentary and information. Your wildlife agency folks also will have a lot of information about numbers, locales, and hog-habits. Art |

Well aware of Kalif, but Oregon seems to fall under the radar. I'm talking somewhere between Eugene and Salem equatorially - several hundred miles from Redding with a much different climate.
I haven't found any good local mags. Only local gun shop is Big 5; have to go out of town for anything decent. I didn't even think of a wildlife agency. Duh! I know where the ranger station is and it didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the obvious. |

I don't think there are any confirmed populations near Eugene or Salem,but the following link has some good reading on the subject,and the Appendix "A" has a map of known populations.Good luck... http://egov.oregon.gov/OISC/docs/pdf/swine_ra.pdf
