New Feral Hog Hunting Procedures

Feral Hog Hunting Compartment Map

Over the past five years, feral hogs have become an ever increasing problem around Somerville Lake. Feral hogs are a nuisance animal and are notorious for the amount of destruction that they can cause. They have created numerous problems out at Somerville Lake including but not limited too; habitat loss, property damage, loss of wildlife, and are a constant safety concern for the general public. In the past five years the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has gradually created a feral hog hunting program to help rid the lake area of this nuisance animal.

Feral hog hunting is allowed by permit only.

There are several methods in which hunters are allowed to remove hogs, these include; bowhunting, livetrapping, shotgun hunting, and dogs.
