Anywhere that has or has had hog farms have the potential for wild hogs. In Ohio, we've had em upto Cleveland. Some of em are intentionally released for hunting. There was a case here where a guy released some hogs near crop farms then wait for damage from them to show up then offer the effected farmers to take care of the hogs for a fee.
Some of the genetic lines in the hogs here had russian hog genetics

any where an in-tack male and female get out of their pens and go feral and breed and you have a population.
it is all about how fast you can get them under control
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The Canadian Government had a program where they set farmers and ranchers up with wild boar to sell hog hunts. I know it is hard to believe, but they seem to get out of the high fence at times. ND figures some of it's wild hogs come out of Canada at times.

When I guided for bear and moose hunts in Quebec , late 80's early 90's, met a farmer that was raising them . The little ones had those spots that were a give away . I don't know much else about them , they were in a barn and in seperate pens .
We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

A careless hog farmer let some hogs get away from him upstream from Harlan County Reservoir in Nebraska and they turned into a problem. The state would kill a pickup load a year. Don't know if they're still there or not. Elk are a problem in Nebraska too. Federal turned them loose on Federal land and they quickly moved to private and started eating corn and soybean fields. Feds said too bad you can't bother them. They are protected.

we have a growing problem in Manitoba. They are bloodlines from Eurasia...these are not escaped tamworth or berkshire pigs running around. Manitoba shut down farming/owning wild boars close to 20 years ago...but escaped population just keeps growing. they have established themselves in spruce woods provincial park north of cypress river that is surrounded by irrigated farm fields that is 30 miles from my place. They are spreading up the river valleys and we have had them on our place already. problem is they inhabit some really rough terrain and they are not stupid. also some land owners don't want people on there land to hunt or trap them. here is a map of travel route of 1 radio collared boar. they cover some ground! he was within 2 miles of my farm.

WhiteCliffs......what part of Ark are you in? I'll be living east of Fayetteville in a couple months. State of Ark says you have to eliminate 66% of a herd every year just to keep them from expanding.

I never heard or saw them when I was up in Kansas and I assumed they didn't like the winters. Now that I have been around them a lot down here I think it was the open country that limits their expansion. In open country they are so easy to hunt you could potentially eradicate them. Down here in the brush they tear stuff up and drop huge litters on the ground with very little to worry about.
We need more Airport Trappers and Boy Named Sue's because these things are everywhere
