Hog Hunting in Nebraska

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission thins the wild boar population via helicopter hunting. With few hog-hunting rules, Nebraska presents an entertaining hunting challenge.

  1. Feral Pig Laws

    • Wild boars are an invasive species in Nebraska. Hunters are encouraged to kill boars, due to their destructive nature and rising population. No license is required, and there is no limit.

    Smell and Sound Tips

    • Boars are smart and have profound senses of hearing and smell. Mask your scent and be silent to prevent your boar from discovering you before you find it.

    Dangers

    • Feral pigs eat nearly anything.

      Boars can weigh 400 to 600 pounds. A hunted boar may run quickly to safety, or it may attempt to gore you with its tusks. Take caution when stalking these heavy and unpredictable beasts.

    Stomping Grounds

    • Wild boars are commonly found as small groups in heavily wooded areas and marshy wetlands. They will venture into any area, including private property, if there is easy-to-find food.

    Helping Nature and Yourself

    • Taking down a boar is rewarded with a remarkable tusked trophy and hundreds of pounds of lean meat. Native animals competing with this voracious eating machine will be indebted to you as well.
