Regulations 2026

Wild boar (feral hogs) are an invasive but widely hunted species found in over 35 states, with the largest populations in Texas, Florida, and California. They display coarse, bristly dark hair, a distinct shoulder hump, and a long snout adapted for rooting. Males carry prominent curved tusks capable of inflicting serious injury. Adults range from 100-400 lbs, with occasional boars exceeding 500 lbs. They can be hunted year-round in most states with no bag limit, making them an accessible hunting opportunity throughout the year.
