Clarification.. I am speaking about specific landowners or local governments. Michigan is a big state, so just saying Michigan has feral pigs isn’t doing much good. Where are the details, where are the specifics?

Until someone starts saying, “there are feral pigs here, hunters please come hunt them,” there is no feral pig problem in Michigan.

The food and drug administration is probably being paid by big food companies that make money from farm raised food.And don’t want free food roaming around in the hills for the taking.If the pigs are a threat to your farm,Then I say ,you kill them.But don’t get the government involved or you’ll just have a big mess on your hands.

Ya I hear about these pigs and call the DNR to get informatoin about the where they are and never get return calls been doing it for a fews years now given up I think the DNR want them in Michigan And if the land owner dont want you to hunt them than you cant but they are the first to complain thats all I have to say

People have asked where my sighting/kill numbers are from: this data was taken from a presentation at the November meeting of the Michigan Commission on Agriculture given by Tim Wilson from USDA Wildlife Services.

Please, we must get rid of these hogs before it gets out of hand as it has in Texas and other states. They kill smaller farm animals/livestock and destroys crops.

I believe most feral hogs are from the result of farmers losing livestock. They have been around for a long time and will continue to be.
