Feral Hogs relocation
I have a 915 acre farm in Peru and want to know if there are farms that could internationally relocate Hogs internationally as an experiment that could be hog hunting in Peru possibly leading to a greater business, here I have a perfect environment, water, 37 hectares of dry forest, 70 of olives, 170 of asparagus and 40 of date palms, it is fenced. I would first start to breed, then hunt privately and possibly after some years make a business possibly spreading hogs throughout Peru .

In my opinion, hogs would ruin every inch of what you now have. There's a reason most states in the U.S. have a shoot on site attitude towards feral hogs and they go feral super fast! They are both destructive to native habitat and dangerous to humans and wildlife as well.

If it is really what you want to do with your land go ahead. But as they have said the hogs will root up the ground and tear whatever they want up. Google what hogs can do look up some pictures of them and the mess they have caused here in the States. It is your land so ultimately your choice if you want hogs or not if its legal where you live.

Are there other options?
I'm in agreement with the guys who say the hogs may be more trouble than you're bargaining for. They can tear up pasture land by the acre, leaving it so rough that you have to disc it or otherwise smooth it before you can replant anything. If you have crops or grazing land you don't want hogs.
Are there other animals you could import or raise for hunting? Almost anything would do less damage than hogs.
I really like hunting hogs, but I would never deliberately introduce them to an area where they don't exist.

My main reason is that in southern Peru there is almost no game to hunt apart from pigeons and doves and I bought rifles for a reason and that is for hunting mammals is their any not destructive mammal that I could relocate in my farm apart from hogs and deer? That could be really helpful and the animal needs to be eatable
