Title: New York Bowhunters....
Post by: joe skipp on September 04, 2011, 06:48:00 PM

In the Hunting Legislation forum, I posted an article about wild boars / feral hogs in New York and the problems that could arise. Check it out...

Good article.  We keep hearing more and more about boars up here.  In order to earn money while I was in college, I hauled waste milk and waste ice cream at night for one of the "hunting preserves" that had well over a hundred Russian boars.  Maybe 150.  Maybe 200.  They fed on the waste milk and loved it.  I know that some got loose.  At the time I didn't think any fence would keep them in if they wanted to roam.  Hmm, maybe I was right.

Hope it gets nipped in the bud........but it won't! There will be a real problem in a few years I think!

Joe, thanks for pointing out the article.  It was very informative.  Not having a problem in Tioga County (yet) but anticipate it is moving our way!

Fun to hunt but a HUGE nuisance.  I've made peace with them in TX, but........
