Does anyone here have recent information about hunting feral pigs in Arizona.

The Fish & Game website mentions a population in the NW portion of the state between Black Rock and Mud Mountains, but it is not clear is this is truly productive site.

Any recent insights would be most welcome.
 
Last winter I camped east of Black Rock mountain and we walked some of the washes looking for pigs.
I found tracks that were fairly recent but didn't see any pigs.
We found it hard to spot game due to the density of vegetation and number of washes.

We tried to use elevation to our advantage but the area that folks reported having the most regular presence was a long hike in and we opted to shoot steel at our camp instead.

Several miles east and west we spotted some nice muley bucks.
This was the best part of the pig quest:
