Pig? What pig?”escaped private property”. Huh,
hey that’s Porkey my pig that ran away.
My understanding (from a member) is that technically you are supposed to call them and ask permission “And we always say yes.”Likely an escapee from Corbin Park out in Croydon (next town over).
Regardless of its escaped status it should be dealt with immediately- last thing you need is one of these having a litter and kicking off a ecological disaster.
Well, it might not be Porkey ...”escaped private property”. Huh,
hey that’s Porkey my pig (feral hog/pet) that ran away. Fûck him, it is mine and I authorize anyone can shoot it for escaping. Bad Porkey
I always thought NH didnt regulate them as game animals so you shoot at will, same as NY. No season, no bag limit, no permission slip unless your on posted private land.looked into hunting them a few years back, NH doesn't regulate them and they consider them farm stock, all you need is a permission slip from Corbin Park, and off you go
The wild pigs in the Granite State are descendants of Eurasian boar, first imported hundreds of years ago for hunting purposes.
“This is a tough animal,” Musante said. “Their genetics come from stock that have lived in Siberia.”
That's incorrect. Because NH has never had an established breeding population of feral swine, all pigs in the wild are assumed to be escaped farm animals, thus private property.I always thought NH didnt regulate them as game animals so you shoot at will, same as NY.

Kind of a weird regulation.That's incorrect. Because NH has never had an established breeding population of feral swine, all pigs in the wild are assumed to be escaped farm animals, thus private property.
You can't shoot them any more than you could shoot a cow wandering through your yard.
Any Eurasian Board in NH are assumed to be from Corbin Park (Blue Mountain). Same thing: still private property that you can't shoot without permission of the owner.
It's a mixed issue.Kind of a weird regulation.
I think the majority of states that don't have breeding populations are shoot at will because they are not regulated as a game species.
Yeah......there has been hog talk in NH forever, and they have never grabbed a foothold in the 30 years ago I first started hearing about it, so its really just noise.It's a mixed issue.
NH also doesn't have an established breeding population of mountain lions (cougar/puma/catamount). Nor wolves.
If either were declared as "established", they would become protected species subject to federal regulation, not just state rules.
Note for those who follow my posts here because of their NH wildlife advocacy: I do not, and never have, advocated hunting big cats, wolves, or coyotes. I only advocate hunting for sustenance, and to stop predation.
I add this disclaimer because I one suggested "SSSTFU" for predators, and some predator-huggers made a big deal about it.
That is the late Chester Hall of Royalston, Ma. with that pig.
In my younger days I may have wrapped a date in bacon. Would be less hair nowadays. This is one thing the millenials own.Went to Chattanooga a few weeks back and had dates wrapped in thick cut bacon…it changed my life.
