Hope you have a backup weapon......I'd hate for my bolt to lock up as one of those things was coming at me after my first shot. I've heard Big South Fork has alot of boar.

I've taken a few in Blount County with a friend and his hog dogs, and one off of Ballplay Road in Monroe County a couple of years ago while in a tree stand. While I'm in the mountains (non-Cherokee National Forest of course) above Tellico I'm on the lookout as well. I have a buddy that lives in Wartburg neat Obed River that needed some help ridding his property of hogs. Ask around, in these areas.

BSFNRA is just up the road from here and one of my favorite places around for the scenery. I've hiked and mountain-biked many a mile up there. Rough country.

It's a National Recreation Area. All state rules of hunting apply; i.e. get a permit, hunt in season, contact HQ for more details. And Boar is out of season right now.

Hunting boars and hogs is fun stuff. I have hunted them with rifles, shotguns and bowie knives. You can also them with spears and bows. though I never have. And if you pick the right size, you will have plenty of good eating.

They are a true menace in Texas and the only way to get them is at night with an AR. Otherwise you'll only get them one at a time before they run off. To thin the herds you need to get several each opportunity.
