At any rate, the boars are becoming a serious problem. Its not that they are dangerous, but they destroy the habitat of other wildlife. However, like any wild animal they can get nasty if cornered. The deer gun season, usually the last week of November is always anticipated for the thousands of hunters in Ohio. During the 1989 season 75,789 deer were taken.
Some hunters go all six days without bagging one white tail.
Such was the case with Jim Hoover, of Orient. They were right at my feet. Hoover shot two of the animals from a distance of three feet, while Herb Pugh and Stormy Robson killed the other two. Hoover believes he may have seen six, or seven more during the encounter. The Ohio DNR has no idea on how many of these pigs are in Ohio, but admit that the number is growing.
