 I was just reading a article that 48 of the states have wild feral hogs :scratch:  As far as I know i havent heard of any in minnesota.  Have heard of a couple in south dakota and wiscosin and even canda but not minnesota. It wouldnt suprise me but has any one heard of them here?

Wisconsin has them.  U.P. of Michigan does for sure.

I shot one in Texas a few years back, not bad tasting either.

I seen 2 pigs bow hunting 2 years ago. I figured they must have been escaped from a farm somewhere. Nobody believed me they all thought I was seeing things.

Supposedly someone told the DNR something had been rooting up a bunch of land near Frontenac, MN a while back. It made the paper down here, but no-one can actually confirm it or not.
Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive.

If you see one, would you shoot it?  I would drop it and cut the straps out.  Coyotes gotta eat.

Do we have regs for feral hogs?

I am positive I would drop a feral pig.

I gotta believe any CO would agree with this.

Kind of like feral cats....... :fudd:

 I would for sure shoot one.  I think they would be fun to hunt but as far as having around they do alot of damage.

They are in WI and it's only a matter of time until they get across the river to us.  I would shoot one for sure, we don't need them multiplying and running all over like they do down south.

If you have seen the damage they cause first hand, you would drop as many as possible including the piglets.
