I was thinking about this as well. It appears that the Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Area has had a few sightings (45 min North of Lansing, just above the Deer Rifle Line). I am also considering the Lapeer State Game Area and doing some scouting there to see if there are any signs. It would probably be best to find out an area that has some sightings and then organize a hunt.

The following site has some information on where there have been sightings and other information:

I just have to decide what to carry afield. For pistols, I am considering either .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum. For rifle, I am considering .30-30, .30-06, or .44 Magnum Carbine (just found one and may pick it up).

Would non-resident concealed-carry licensees qualify? I hold a Florida CWP and frequent Michigan during summr months.

By the way, wild hogs are known to be very aggressive and dangerous (another reason to kill em' dead besides the environmental damage). The larger ones have sharp tusks and can seriously injure or kill hunting dogs. I'm sure more than a few hunters have been slashed real good by them as well.

Hog hunters using pistols tend to opt for magnum handguns. I'm not sure your average concealed carry pistol is up to the task.

Hey PDinDetroit,

I just picked up a used Security Six .357 magnum. I was thinking that as the primary and my Glock 21 (.45auto 13+1) for my "charging with husks" back-up. What do you think. I think we should go soon, if you wouldn't mind me taggin along, one of these days.

Hey ALL-

I am going camping near the pit July 3-7th, so let me know if anyone wants to meet up during that time, I'll bring my ammo box just in-case.

God Bless

ive personally seen a group of 4-6,depending on which time,at the rose lake public land,just east of lansing,obviously in the area of the rose lake dnr shooting range.

always wanted to shoot one,but only ever being out there with a .22LR or a bead sight 16 guage,and the hogs at 200+ yards....i know the .22 wont pack the punch needed,and the 16 ga. wont shoot that far accurately.

one of these days ill get em...

(and no,im not out traversing the woods alone and armed)
