That there has been a sighting of boars in Cohocton NY?...was at the local garage last night and well that's as good as a hair dressers or dinner for gossip...lol. ...any ways that's the story a hunter had some run through and found sign I guess....

Just what we need .... another point of origin for the proliferation of these critters.

No, I haven't heard anything yet about them showing up there. Hopefully it is kind of like the mountain lion sightings .... lol.

Maybe it's like my experience years ago when I was bowhunting down in PA. I looked down across a small valley and saw something huge and pink. Checking it out with binoculars, it turned out to be a pig. We stopped into the farmers and asked if he had seen a pig wandering around, and he said it was one of his that escaped and that we should have shot it. When I was a kid we had a pig escape (they're awfully good at it).

Anyway, this kind of thing may be the actual origins of some of these sightings. Not that domestic pigs can't be as much of a scourge as the wild ones.

When my grandfather passed I had a cousin that needed to drive through Groveland to get to the funeral home...there use to be a hog farm there...one of the breeding boars escaped and she hit it dead on.....totaled the car...she ended up in the hospital for a week and the hog...actually had to be put down it was well over 400#'s
