Excerpt from The Dixie Ranger, Vol. 5: November 1939 The day's hunt netted 104 gray squirrels and 7 hogs: The indicated success ratio of only a fraction over 1 squirrel per hunter is not as gloomy as it might appear; some hunters preferred hog hunting to squirrel hunting and the hogs, even though their ancestors were domestic, are difficult to stalk. The hunt looks like it might become an annual affair. Daybreak, November 15, will mark the Opening of the fourth annual Wild Boar Hunt to be held on the Cherokee National Forest in cooperation with the Department of Conservation, State of Tennessee. Two areas, each including approximately acres will be Opened to wild boar hunting. On one, the baying of dogs will be heard; on the other, quiet will reign and the hunters will depend entirely on their personal skill and resourcefulness to make a kill. Guides, local men who have spent their lives in the Tennessee mountains, have made preparations to direct the hunters, and both.man and-dogs are eagerly awaiting the starting signal. Prospects for a successful hunt are good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
