This is what I find interesting about feral hogs. Pork is as good eating as deer, yet there doesn't seem to be enough hunter pressure to keep ferals at bay. Why is that? Why not open the season to all year with no bag limit? It seems to me hog hunting would be great sport and great free meat. I live in Maryland and reports are they are now in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and as far north as New Hampshire. Apparently, cold weather is not a limiting factor that curtails their migration. They have no seasonal breeding pattern - they produce a litter and are ready to breed again, with a relatively short gestation period per litter. As the article says, that means two or three litters a year of maybe 8-10 piglets per litter.
