Centuries ago, Spanish ships off the East Coast released pigs as a readily available food source. Later, European settlers adopted free-roaming farming methods, keeping swine for their hardy nature. Hogs thrived in the temperate forests of the New World, and inevitably, some escaped domesticity.
Now, generations later, feral hogs have established a reputation across the state and nation as pests. For agriculturists, they pose a risk to crops and livestock, and countless homeowners have had their lawns and gardens dug up by hogs searching for grubs.
