I never knew we had these around, escaped from hunting preserves, but am aware of the massive problems with these in other areas.
I cannot imagine having these with thick underbrush and marsh areas like is common around here, if they ever got a foothold, it would seem you would have a real hard time with eradicating them, maybe easier in the winter with snow cover? The damage and destruction they cause is incredible.
I guess the question I have is why do people create preserves, attempt to pen them, for the purpose selling the right to hunt or what appears to be stalk and chase, knowing they are hard to keep contained, and what happens when they get out and establish a population. I don't see this as any form of hunting myself. I don't consider sitting in my stand at this place much of a hunt, as I kind of watch over a herd of whitetail and take what I can to fill my tags. There is really no hunting going on, just a lot of sitting and waiting LOL !
I was wondering, can these Eurasian swine make it in the northern climate, wouldn't a harsh winter do them in etc ?
Interesting article, some odd statements in it, I really like the one where they discourage hunting them because it encourages hunting them, oxymoron, as isn't that what you want to do to eradicate them ? LOL !
