I moved from pa and have not hunted in a while I live in the clermont area. Is there any places out here for hog hunting and need to know somewhere to take it to be processed.
Being in Clermont, I would think the closest "public" areas are over in Green Swamp and Richloam.
Green Swamp West is over there as well, but you need to put in for a special opportunity hunt to get in there. Check FWC website for details, I'm not sure when the application period is for special ops.What part of PA did you come down from?

I see I missed the obvious Clermont area. If you like to learn we can teach you. To me there is no reason to ever go to a processor. Really easy to process the cuts of meat. Now sausage is more work curing or making ham you just need room for aging in the frig for 10 days. I use to do it all in my kitchen. take your time and be neat no mess. Skin the animal quarter place in good cooler with ice. Take (clean good) cooler in kitchen large cutting board on counter and process one piece at a time. Moms have been doing it for centuries in the kitchen.
If my sow doesn't have piglets, I will be processing a 300 lb pig in a week or 2. Now I am undecided about shaving this one or skinning? Its really 300 lbs and over fattened. For wild I say skin and dump the skin with ticks in a bag or in the woods.
