East Park Rs. 2008 Hog hunts

[aidenbomb]

Anyone have any stats for the spring hog hunt at EPR? # of tags?# hogs taken? or did anyone get drawn and go? Success? Anyone else put in for the fall draw there?

My 13yr old and I put in for the fall and was just curious what to expect if drawn. Never hunted hogs before but my new hunting partner is excited and gonna get me in the field more.
thanks for any info

I haven't drawn the pig yet but I hunted it for elk in '06 before they began the pig hunts.
There were pigs-a-plenty
I understand that the marsh is off-limits now, that's where the pigs head to when they move. I guess you have to be a certain distance away from the marsh.

How did you sign up for the hunt? I have searched the internet and have not been able to find an application to hunt this area. Maybe I am just a little tech-challenged. Any help would be much appreciated. With my luck it is too late for this year but there is always next year.

It's because the hunt area is on a popular lake shore. On weekends there are lots of boaters and campers but monday-thursday is quiet, hardly a soul there.

Can boat be used to access the hunt area?

The success rate in the spring was around 0! no pigs were killed. There are pigs there but they come and go just a matter of lucky timing.
