Does anyone know of a place in PA that has wild hog hunts with dogs? Or the closest state to PA that does these hunts? I only want to go as a spectator, I don't want to shoot one, just watch the dogs in action. Can anyone tell me where I can find a place?

Its probably not what you think it would be like..They do it here in ga..Nothing at all like what I thought..The ones I went with.Walked 10 or so dogs around all day!!!! You walk right up on the hogs.They catch one and a fight of all fights is on..Dogs are fighting each other,fighting the hog and would probably fight you if you didnt run in hollering and screaming lol......I was expecting to cut em loose.Hear them strike a hog.Then go in and catch the hog...I guess I'm just used to hearing a hound run! Its not for me..If I have to walk around and jump them up..I might as well just go ahead and shoot them...

where in the heck did you go hog hunting. Most hog hunters would not allow dogs to fight dogs.

We mostly travel on 4-wheelers, keeping up with the direction of the hounds when they open. When hounds get bayed, catch dogs go in and hold the hog so it can be dealt with and hounds are caught up & put in their dog boxes. Dog fights are not part of a good hog hunt.

Ok, you'll are down south, do you know any place up north that does it? I spose it would end up being what they call a 'canned' hunt, but I still want to go to watch.

BANG, BANG, BANG, SMASH, MOAN, GROAN! That is me, banging my head on a brick wall, after spending most of the day on the computer searching for hog hunts with dogs in PA or NY. Nobody uses dogs for their wild hog hunts. I might as well just give up, buy some DVD's or video's of some hunts & get my thrill that way. Sure doesn't look like I'm going to get to go on a real one in PA.
