MN wild boar?

[HandGunner]

I was watching pig bomb and shows like it. It showed a map of boar migration and were they have spread. seems like from the show they have spread to MN, got me thinking, is there any in MN? were? how manny? can u hunt them? I think there was a wild game farm up in chisago on highway 8 heading to wisconsin, i think they do wild boar hunts, thinking i wanna go try it out, i would plan to use my TC encore pistol in .308 dat be fun.

if it does exist how much do you think these things cost?

I am not positive, but I think I remember reading somewhere that if you see one, the DNR wants you to shoot it, because it is invasive. Dont quote me on that!

There is/was a place near little falls that offered hunts. Boar in Mn. is not a good thing, especially if they begin to free range. They are destructive and will eat anything and everything and once they establish they are very difficult to eradicate.

The dnr wants them dead no one wants those things with the amount of damage they do to crops not good, and yes there was that place near little falls but its 100% illegal to have wild hogs in MN, there is one farm in MN and they were for slaughter, they had a piece in the Star about them.

I also remember hearing something about a hog farm near lt falls and it seemed the cost was around 350. I was out in North Dakota this fall and the locals said there is a valley near Langdon where a tornado ripped through and some pigs escaped and now are wild. If its a hog hunt your looking at doing get in contact wit me as I usually travel down south every other year for a hog hunt. Sometimes free range on Fort Sill OK and other times high fence operations.

I did a HSOforum for a hog hunting operation out of texas, www.xxxtremehogdoggin.com - they have no limits, with any weapon, day, nite - anything goes. there are over 1 million running free out there are they are a massive problem. Very liberal - go get some..
