Feral hogs may be harvested anywhere in the zone. Free-ranging feral hogs of either gender and any age are legal game while deer hunting during the Fall Bow, Permit Bow, Six-day Firearm, Permit Muzzleloader, Permit Shotgun and Winter Bow seasons, provided the hunter has not reached the bag limit for the deer season which is open and for which the hunter has the required license and deer permits.
