Wild Boar Hunts Dominate Cherokee Forest Area Tradition
The annual wild boar and bear hunts take place on the 87,000 acre Tellico Wildlife Management Area near Tellico Plains Tennessee. Prussian boars imported in 1912 multiply to about 700, supervised by Tennessee Department of Conservation and U. S. Forest Service, with notable hunters like Mrs Patsy Irons Pearce and Edith Hans Padger, and pioneers including Dr. Graeme Canning of Knoxville.
