Not good.

It's only a matter of time before they get ahead of the hunters. We're the only state in the lower 48 that doesn't have them.

Theyll start putting up billboards of precious little piglets around seattle, put it to a vote, and protect them.  No hunting the sweet little piggies!

Is this fact?

Hadn't ever heard that.

I read it on the internet. That means it's true.

Just found this, many other reports are different.

We have recently classified the states with wild pigs into various categories for management planning purposes. Fourteen states currently do not have wild pigs: AK, CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, MT, ND, RI, SD, VT, WA, and WY. Eight states have small isolated populations: CO, ID, IA, NE, NV, NH, NJ and UT. Four states have established but stable populations: IN, KS, WV and IL. Thirteen states have established and increasing populations: AZ, KY, MI, MS, MO, NM, NY, NC, OH, OR, PA, VA and WI. Eleven states have large well-established and growing populations: AL, AR, CA, FL, GA, HI, LA, OK, SC, TN and TX.

we don't have any in Arizona that I've ever heard of. But there's a few in New Mexico where I like to hunt.

I just found this which says 39 states as of 2014. I can't believe the internet lied to me.
