Google is a wonderful thing.

Dosent have the wild bore / razorback look to it like many i have seen. I would be more skeptical that it was a pen raised animal.

It takes a few generations of them breeding in the wild to start reverting back to that wild boar type image we think of when we hear wild pig. This one could have been first or second generation feral hog and still looked like Farmer Joe's prize winning pig. Maybe it is an escaped farm pig, but who cares, at least its not roaming around breeding in the wild.

I know they say that there are some wild pigs running around in NY, but will these things really survive a NY winter? I think any snow over a foot and a half and they're dead, look how low to the ground they are.

They survive in Russia's winters quite well. Besides, being low to the ground means they can sniff out food and get to it under the snow better. Edited November 8, 2011 by Doewhacker

The snow won't bother them at all. Their Russian cousins and the European strain all of our domestic pigs came from were once wild and Europe has snow. I have seen pics taken by my B-I-L of trails down by Cortland and the Pig trails were right through the deep snow.

I gotta admit that there are many animals I would leave alone in the woods but a pig ain't one of them. I would kill the crap out of one of them! lol

I guess they just power through the snow like bison?

You got that right, Doe. Some people like to shoot chipmunks, porcupines, etc. and seem to be proud of themselves, but since I have NO interest in eating anything like that, they will continue to live if they wander my way. A pig won't be so lucky. I see a pig and I see pork chops!! Mmmm, yummy!

So when you have company over do you tell them where the scrape is in-case they have to relieve themselves.

I do the same.
