Well they are not in my area yet. They are south of me in Clark County. From the rumor mill, some city people owned land, bought hogs, and turned them loose to take care of them selves. Now the DNR is getting hog damage reports, etc. So they want them shot off. But they want the hog as well. I would think if a person went through all that work the least they could do is give the hunter back the hog after they do their testing, etc.

Falcon.. thanks for the tips on the hog disease. I used to work on a hog farm in my younger days, and hauled them miserable things (among other uncooperative animals) in trucks all over the State. They can sure be a handful. I knew the owner of the farm was always careful about where you had been, cleaning your boots, etc.. before walking in the yards, etc. I remember he went almost wild when a feed salesman who was traveling farm to farm to sell protein and supplements,justwalked into the farrowing house uninvited. Like he later explained .. no telling what that guys boots are hauling around on them...

I guess now that you explained it.. no reason why wild hogs should not get the same diseases. thanks!
