California is also a state with a huge hog population.
There's a National Feral Swine Mapping System that updates their hog distribution map monthly that's partly based on sighting reports:

Their map is slightly different than the standard feral hog map below that acknowledges known populations in places like West Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin etc...

My state only has a very small but growing number of moose that have recently been moving in from neighboring states and they cause a lot of damage to forests by stripping the bark off many trees.
They've become not just a nuisance but a deadly hazard on public roadways in many parts of New England where not enough hunting permits are issued.
They're like having a horse on the loose in an urban/suburban environment.
