PERU, N.Y. — They roam by night, picking cornstalks clean, making off with apple crops. They have almost no natural predators, but they have razor-sharp tusks and a seemingly bottomless appetite for plants and animals. Their population can triple in one year.
They are feral pigs, and while they have long plagued parts of the Southern and Western United States, now they have become a problem in the peaceful Champlain Valley of New York, an agricultural heartland on the edge of the Adirondacks.

Feral pigs are also endemic in blue states and universities.
The coydogs run in large packs. They take down full size deer here right 50 yards from my front porch. One winter night they ran `round and ``round the house. I counted 18 going by in the moonlight. There are also large wolves here, bigger than a German Shepherd, but these mostly are loners.
None of the hunters here I know has ever even seen a porker anywhere. Just could be they are eating apples. The local apple orchards here 3 miles and 12 miles away don`t have any porkers around coz there are cougars in the area all the time at night going after deer that feed in the cornfields. My house is 60 miles from Peru.
We have some cougars around here...and plenty of deer too.
I see more deer than anything....but the pigs ARE here.
Yeah right!
no coydog that ever lived could take a wild boar.
Yeah, good luck with that.
lol. They are a plague. Don’t ask me how I know. Y’all have my sympathies. No, really, you do.
They are fun to shoot, though.
Great area for apple picking...this should make it a little more interesting this fall...
“Wild boars with razor-sharp tusks”
“They have to drink, don’t they? We will release bull sharks with frikkin’ lasers on their heads into the New York state lakes, rivers and streams. This is why I get paid the big bucks.”

Good pig.
Mesquite woodfire takes care of disease (as does any heat used for cooking) (Greenhorns, sigh)
You know nothing of wild pig. I have been eating on them a long time, dude. Please stop with the misinformation, you make yourself look foolish.
We have hog shoots and smokin’ events in Texas. Yum! Who is going to do that in NY? Wild boars are bad enough, but fortunately, they don’t have rattlers in NY. :)
Our contractor, in Arizona, said that dogs get ripped up by Javelina. I suspect that panthers can hang on their backs while they go after the neck.
We just bought a house on “Javelina Road”. During the escrow period while we could still back out we were standing in the back yard with the Realtor when two javelina came around the side of the house and wandered into the forest behind the house. I told the Realtor that if this house had been on “Grizzly Road” the deal was OFF!
lol

Holy carp! Fire up the godzilla sized barbecue!

They don’t have a problem here in Md. We love Bacon.
In WNY we call them politicians
I thought Jerry Nadler lost weight...
Exceptionally lean, and fat free too!
A baby just off of the tittie is tender and succulent; and tasty as well! lol! They die easy with a .22 to the head( or a .223, see my page )!
Crockpot tittie pork rocks! With onions, garlic and your choice of sauce!
mm-hmm!
Sounds good to me! I’m thinking use the .223 just in case momma is around and objects.
