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.
