I was wondering what the plan for getting rid of the pigs on North umberland WMA it's run over with them in the New river area? I hunt small game there and it seems like it's getting worse everyday.

I live right next to it and Coal creek land it's just a matter of time before they are at my house,seen one today cross the road just a few miles from my house.The terrain is rough and I dont see them being thinned down without being allowed to kill them anywhere,anytime and without baiting them.I coon hunt and have seen them or sign from grave's gap to petros mountain and everywhere in between.

Fortunately, anyone that has wild hogs on their property CAN do all those things.

You can kill hogs on ANY hunt on North Cumberland as long as you use a weapon that is legal for a season that is open.

Look in the hunting guide and read the regs for North Cumberland. I'm sure there are several interpretations to the rules. It says hogs are legal during all seasons as long as weapons for said seasons are used. I must add I am not affiliated with TWRA in any form or fashion. I just hunt up there a lot and know what the hunting guide sas about it. That does't meen my interpretation is correct.

Don't forget, if you are on private land you'll have to be the landowner or on his exemption.

There are no counties in middle TN open for hog eradication with dogs.
There are four counties up on the Plateau where dogs may be used in the eradication process.

I have a westvaco lease in Houston Co. I wonder if lease holders would be exempt and how far we are from having hogs. None on our lease but we hear they are in Montgomery Co.
