Rode thru Cades Cove this afternoon and saw a hog in a field. Got to the visitor center in the back and stopped to look around and several areas between the parking lot and restrooms were rooted up. I googled it a few minutes ago and there’s several posts about them being there,going back several years. I just had never heard about them being seen in there.

I saw some hogs when I was there about 3 years ago.

We saw two does in a field just a little ways in,then a few hundred yards away there were two nice bucks in a field together and we thought hey, it’s going to be a good day. Didn’t see anything else but the hog.

I remember back when I was younger I loved that place. It was eat slam up with big bucks but the last couple times I’ve been we only saw a few turkey and some bears. No deer. Never seen a hog there.

Seems like I recall the Park Service wanted to know of any hog sightings so they could go and try to kill them. I do know they don’t want any in the Park.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Never seen a hog in Cades Cove but it don’t surprise me. Those stupid things invade like freaking locusts and if they don’t do something about it they will be overrun with them soon.

Been to Cades Cove literally countless times and have never seen one, although I was aware they were supposedly there. Does seem like the last few times we’ve been, we haven’t seen near the amount of wildlife in general as we did 15-20yrs ago

Last week I noticed the ground was tore up pretty bad in a couple of places. One was at the visitors center on the back side and nother place a little ways past that. I wondered if some hogs might be around

Apparently they’ve been trapping them there for several years. I’ve seen pics of traps posted on a Cades Cove FB page I visit.

They’ve been there since the 70’s at least. Grew up hog hunting all around the western boundaries

Hunting hogs was a big thing there in the 70's. There was an outfitter that sold hunts around Townsend when I was in high school.

Maybe they'll trap them and bring them to Bankhead so the hunting there would be fun again. MBGA! I wonder if Don Jr would help promote this campaign???

We were there this past Thanksgiving week. We saw 3 or 4 hogs and 3 bucks. 1 buck was a stud. The ground around one of the old cabins was rooted up bad.

I saw one of the traps off the side of the road a little ways before you get to Cades Cove. It was in the same place last January when we were there.

If it's one like this, I'm pretty sure that's a bear trap, not hog. Surely they'd have folks smart enough to know that trapping individual pigs is a waste of time ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46883176995_54c6c4e9ca_h.jpg)
