Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them all.
Rob, I've read the Q&A's you posted, thank you.
We've gone from the DEC saying to shoot them on site, to leave them alone, and let us trap them. I thought it was a little far fetched for the DEC to think they could trap every hog that makes It's way into the state, but I can understand what some of you have said about having a season on them, and people relocating them for what they think is their benefit. I'm sure it enters into it. I've seen a couple beautiful trout ponds ruined because somebody thought it would be nice to have bass in them too.
Thanks for the pics too. I haven't seen any hog sign in my area, but that proves to me that they aren't too far off. Or have been, at least.
Sticksnstones, the picture, and your personal observations, make me feel a little better about what I've read about hogs destroying turkey populations, and the damage they can do to other critters.
I don't have any food plots, but I can imagine the disgust at working your butt off on something like that, only to have hogs come in a destroy it overnight. Not to mention what's been said about the damage they can do to agricultural crops.
All in all, from what most of you have said, it reconfirms my thinking that I don't want them here. It doesn't sound like they're going to show up in huntable numbers any time soon, if they do. If and when it does happen, I don't see where I'd have any choice but to start hunting some wild pork.
Thanks again.
Bob
