stillhose hollow

[Matt B.]

Has anyone ever hunted stillhouse for hogs? I went fishing there today and saw 20 or so hogs around the union grove. Any tips would be helpful
Thanks

I haven't checked in a while but unless it has changed the only hunting is some duck hunting and dove hunting in specific place or places. Most of the area around the lake doesn't allow any kind of hunting. I live near the dam, what area of the lake did you see the hogs on?

[Matt B.]

im sorry I saw them at the gravl crossing road op the river

Matt, I copied this off the website for Stillhouse Hollow. As you can see it doesn't mention hogs but it is very restrictive. Here is the website if you want to look at it:http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/sti...on/Hunting.asp
