New "WILD BOAR" rumor

[hardcore carnivore]

The pigs are everywhere they came with Bigfoot and are after the elk.

Besides, doesn't it stand to reason that if they did show up they would start showing up on the Idaho and Oregon borders first?

They are already in Oregon.  I'm no expert but It sure seems like one hell of a swim for a pig to cross the Columbia river to get here from Oregon.     Maybe I am wrong though. 
They have also been confirmed in Idaho like someone else posted earlier.  Pigs would be fun to hunt, but would destroy everything else.  They do more than just tear up the ground.  They also eat bird eggs and will eat fawns.  We have enough problems in this state, we don't need anymore.

I dont expect to many of the critters would survive eastern washington if they ever did manage to make it this far, to much open country and folks that love target practice, as for western washington well good luck.

Good point, my bad.  But would that be considered a migration hunt to shoot them off the bridges?  Seems like easy pickings.

[d-rock]

You would be surprised where they have found land animals swimming to and from.  I would guess pigs being as hardy as they are would be no exception.  Hopefully lots drown first.   

[grundy53]

hell, they might not even need a bridge...

When pigs fly or swim. 

[Jburke]

I don't doubt that they can swim.  Imagine seeing one swimming the river while you were out fishing.  Id like to see someone real one of them *censored*s in.  Talk about a hell of a fight!

The last 'pig' rumor I heard about in Washington State I decided to put it to rest and took two weeks of vacation to scout/hunt. TWO FREAKIN" WEEKS! Total waste. No pig sign. Nothing. NOTHING. I will certainly go after them if it is confirmed, but I won't waste that much time looking for them again. I did find a nice black bear area out of it though!

I asked BigTex if he knew of wild boar in this state . His reply was that were some a few years back and they got them all.

[YoterHunter]

me and my uncle floted the cowlitis a long time ago .thought it was deer swimming across the river as we got closer it was a pig could not beleave it .

I thought maybe they fell out of a wheel well or peeled off a grill, not quite dead.
