FERAL HOG CONTROL ACT AND BAITING OF FERAL HOGS

Transportation of live feral hogs without a permit may result in significant fines and revocation of your hunting license. Feral hogs captured alive must be dispatched prior to transportation if a permit
has not been acquired prior to capture. Contact the Georgia Department of Agriculture (404) 656-3665 for permit restrictions and requirements related to live feral swine.

Exceptions for Feral Hogs (Statewide) Feral hogs may be hunted over or near bait on private lands year round in every county provided that the bait is not placed within 50 yards of any property ownership boundary.  However, placing bait for hogs may make a property (or portion of a property) un-huntable for other species, such as turkeys.  Generally, you may not hunt turkeys within 200 yards or within line of sight of bait.  Hunters are urged to communicate with others who may hunt other species on or near an area where baiting for deer or hogs is being considered.
