[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1592263, member: 80288"] John, yeah, they look more like a European boar than most of the Feral's I've seen. The ridge of hair running down the middle of the back in that last photo shows up real well. What is the law on hunting them? I know in Texas and some other states, the Feral's are considered a pest and can be taken by anyone with a hunting license by any means that you want to use. Trapping, poison, hunting, etc. Poison is probably the least used because it can involve other animals, but they do make for year round hunting. Just ask djones! Farmers particularly hate them because of the damage they do to the crops. djones once posted a picture of what a sounder of hogs did to a field of Peanuts in 1 night and there were several acres totally wasted, including digging up the plants to get at the roots. He was even using about 50# bags of low grade Peanut Butter (?), what he called "Peanut stuff", to bait them. It also supplied his lunch since he had a loaf of Bread and a jar of jelly with him. I was afraid to ask what he was washing it down with. According to the maps I have showing distribution of Feral Hogs, they show California infested, but not much in Arizona and Nevada so was wondering how they got across the desert from the East. If they are descendants of European Boar, then it makes more sense. I know we don't have many Feral's here, except maybe down in the SE corner, because they have trouble getting across Southern New Mexico with no water. The few reported in Southern Arizona I suspect went down into Mexico and came back up through the mountains. BUILD THE WALL!....LOL They are moving into Northern Arizona by following the Pecos and Rio Grand up through New Mexico and then across the northern mountains where there is water available. OK, thanks for the photo's and keep them hogs a coming.
