The way they're talking, we'll be hunting them up here in Rhode Island pretty soon.  Anybody know how far north they are now?

I have heard rumors that there are some up in New Hampshire.

I have some hunting ground in SW Pennsylvania and there was a "hunting preserve" not too far away that went out of business when the owner passed away. Long story short....lots of the animals including HOGS got loose and were running loose. Locals were shooting them. The next door farmer shot a big hog and had it hanging up one day on his front loader. This might be how they are spreading around. Doesn't take much for them to get a foot hold the way they reproduce.

breed faster n' rabbits....

[**DONOTDELETE**]

there is some in south Jersey

[StickBowManMI]

I know that New York State had them about 10 years ago in the walden area.

ishoot4thrills.  Last I heard there were a lot of hogs running around on Fort Knox and a bunch on Bernheim Forest property.  Also, there have been a few killed on some WMA property in Western KY.  Several bunches in Henry Co as well.  They are here in several places but most people are keeping them quiet, or so it seems, at least til they get to be to big of a nuisance or they tire of hunting them.

I suspect the hog "migration" in the US might have someting to do with "hunting preserves" as has apparently happend in PA.  At some point there was one of those "hunting preserves" in NH as well; perhaps the same story.  On one hand as a bowhunter, the new opportunity to hunt is exciting, but on the other hand transplanted species stories don't usually turn out well.

I have hunted boars in India and if these are anything like those things,we are in for it,I have seen dogs rippes to shreads and one case in particular of a man who surprised one,poor chap looked like he had been put through a blender on slow,great hunting though.

Interesting subject, but not archery related.
