Boone County produced 12 wild boar, six were killed in Logan County, and one was killed in Wyoming County. This year's early season harvest is a slight improvement over the 1998 early season, when 16 were killed.
Biologists attribute the low harvest to hot dry weather, making hunting uncomfortable.
The December segment of the boar season has traditionally been the most productive. Should the weather during December cooperate and provide a tracking snow, hunter success will improve. The second segment of the firearms season is December 27 through December 29. Through October 30 th , bow hunters have harvested 14 boar, only 12 were checked during the entire 2 -month long bow season in 1998. The archery season continues through December 31, 1999.
