The destruction those things are capable of is incredible...

I have hunted them several times on a friend's deer/turkey lease in Georgia.. They put up low electric fences around thier food plots...The deer and turkeys step over it, but it keeps the hogs out..

Once in awhile a fence fails and the pigs get into the food plot..It looks just like it has been plowed up with farm equipment.. They do the same thing in the woods ...

If there are < 1000 in PA. isn't it only a matter of time before they reach NY ? It sounds like hunting preserves in NY should be banned from having wild boars/swine. I saw some wild pigs in Fla. next to a highway I was driving on, between Orlando and Port  Canaveral.One of these articles said Fla. has had wild pigs since 1539.That's a lot of bacon.

  You hit it on the head.  Keep them right out of the state.

Unfortunatly a mature pig doesn't have any natural predators... and the sow is a pretty protective mother....

Don't worry...I'll volunteer myself as their natural predator.  Are you kidding?  I would gladly put pork on my table and help the ecology at the same time?  Win-win situation if you ask me.

Ha-ha ..... Let them start tearing up golf courses and thousands of dollars worth of suburban landscape projects. We will instantly become the neighborhood. People will be falling all over themselves trying to attract hunters to their property. The bunny-huggers will be hard to find and awful darn quiet .... lol.

If I recall correctly from a special I saw on them. A purely domestic pig that is turned loose will develope the wild pig charastics in darn short order. The majority of the pigs in the wild are of a domestic variety. The true russian boars are few in number but will cross bredd with the domestics turned wild and produce more russian traits int he offspring. Banning at the preserves might be one step but what about any domestics from a farm? how do we control that?
