Don't all states have open season and no restrictions on killing feral pigs (hogs as we call them in the South)?
I don't think anyone is that stupid as to want those things anywhere near their homes or farms. |

California requires a tag and had a daily bag limit in hogs. They gotta get their $$. May not be much per tag but still.

Used to have a hook up,in Florida. He had land and I could go hunt all the pigs I wanted.
Sadly, he became a POS and went crazy and is now sitting in prison (A-hole killed his wife in front of their daughter). 
I miss hunting piggies.

Well of course Illinois has all kinds of restrictions on hunting them. http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/news/Pages/NewRuleRestrictsTransportation,ReleaseandHarvestofFeralSwine.aspx Fortunately, feral hogs have not showed up in any numbers in central Illinois. I was surprised that Michigan has such a problem and we don't, yet. |

Illegal in NY (try not to act surprised). Hunting or Trapping of Eurasian Boars is Prohibited Hunting or trapping of Eurasian boars is now illegal in New York State. A new regulation was adopted on April 23, 2014 that prohibits the hunting or trapping of free-ranging Eurasian boar statewide. The regulation provides exceptions for law enforcement officers, farmers, and landowners who are authorized by DEC to take Eurasian boar to alleviate nuisance, property damage, or threats to public health or welfare. This regulation is necessary to ensure maximum effectiveness of DEC's statewide eradication efforts. Why is the Hunting of Eurasian Boars Prohibited? New York wants to eradicate all Eurasian boars in the wild. To achieve that, the DEC had to ban the hunting of Eurasian boars. The most efficient way to eradicate Eurasian boars is by trapping the whole sounder (the name for a group of pigs) at one time. Research and management experience has taught us that this task is best accomplished by wildlife management agencies who are committed to total eradication. Trapping takes a lot of time, effort and money because boars are very wary and need to be slowly baited in and accustomed to the trap. When a hunter shoots at a boar, the animals in the sounder run off in all directions and don't always come back together again. Hunting prevents us from trapping all the animals in the sounder, makes the boars harder to trap during subsequent attempts (boars learn to avoid traps if they are shot at around a trap), and instead of one large sounder, we must now have to locate and eradicate two or more smaller sounders. Hunting is an inefficient and ineffective way to control or eradicate a population of Eurasian boars. Because the boars have a high survival and reproductive rate, hunters must take 70-75% of the population each year just to stabilize the population. That is nearly impossible to do. Even in Texas where wild boar hunting is very popular, hunters take less than 40% of the population each year. |

Plus, they're "Russian boar" or "Eurasian boar." It gets a lot colder over there than it does here... It probably has more to do with crossing the desert. There's vast swathes down here with not much food or water for them down here. Up in the Animas mountains and further over towards Arizona, there's forest and woodlands they can scrounge in, but that all peters out long before you get to I-10. Once they get to the Gila, though, all bets are off, and I'm going hog-hunting. I give it 10 years, and they'll probably encroach over from eastern Arizona, instead of coming straight up the boot across the sand. |
