What is the fine if someone intentionallystocks hogson their land and they escape that property onto public land?
Isn't it possible to have several hundred acres of your own land and place 20 sows and 5 boars on it in hopes of letting them free range there until you gather them up for slaughter?
Keep in mind, I'm in Illinois where our conservation department has a fierce no-tolerance attitude toward the introduction of 'wild hogs'.
If your suggesting this as an agricultural practice and your suggesting these hogs are livestock, then you're going to find yourself liable for any personal or property damage they cause when they wander off your property. If your introducing them as wild stock, you face some nasty problems with more than one government agency because of the possibility of introducing disease, violating laws regulating the importation of non-native species and a myriad of regulations you haven't thought of.
