And Yes.... WA DFW has already confirmed small populations of hogs have already started reaching as far north as the Olympic Peninsula, but for the most part are still on the outskirts of WA boarders.
"There was one report of a feral swine population on the Olympic Peninsula, but it is no longer there. The Quinault Indian Nation hunted them in the past. Feral swine were sighted in southwest Washington and are abundant in California, Oregon, and Idaho."

Written by some college kid I expect has never been to Oregon or Idaho. Abundant in Oregon and Idaho? :chuckle: They are swimming the Columbia River and have already started reaching as far north as the Olympic Peninsula? :chuckle: :chuckle:
This can't be a real WISC publication, can it? :dunno: Hard to take a council serious with that kind of information. Also hard to recognize it when they do not consider Canadian wolves as an invasive species!
Cool video, but the post had me laughing me arse off. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Again... we have them in OR. Here's an chunk from the OR regs, pg. 24:
"Feral swine are an invasive non-native introduced species in Oregon that destroy important wildlife habitat and may prey on livestock and native wildlife, with potential to transmit diseases to wildlife, livestock and humans. Feral swine are included in the Oregon Invasive Species Council’s list of “100 Worst List” to keep out of Oregon. It is very important to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the US Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Agriculture to eliminate this invasive non-native species before they become established. It is legal to hunt feral swine year round on public land with a hunting license and there is no harvest limit. On private property, feral swine are defined as a “predatory animal”. Hunting feral swine on private land does not require a hunting license, but you must have landowner permission to act at their agent. It is your responsibility to determine if any swine found meet the definition of “feral swine”(see definitions page 81).
PLEASE REPORT ANY FERAL SWINE
OBSERVED, KILLED,
OR FERAL SWINE DAMAGE
TO ODFW AT 503-947-6300 OR
1-866-INVADER
