HUNTING -- Feral hogs have been reported in Idaho where the Bruneau River enters CJ Strike Reservoir. With turkey hunting still a month off, some hunters are heading out for an early season target.

Here are the rules just clarified by Idaho Fish and Game:

Idaho does not classify feral pigs as protected wildlife or game. However, hog hunters need an Idaho hunting or trapping license. No tag is required.

Feral hogs may be taken in any number, at any time and in any manner not prohibited by state or federal law and not in violation of state, county, or city laws, ordinances or regulations.

Landowners concerned with property protection would not need a license and may kill, trap and remove any feral pigs to prevent property damage.
