The Boars are back !!

[dfmacliam]

Yeah... I dunno about Tennessee, but here in Georgia there is no season and no limit for hunting feral hogs- they're considered a virtual blight. I'm not sure they are the same thing as a wild BOAR, but certainly close enough.

Boars and feral hogs are the same thing.. until the Spanish set foot upon this continent, there were no pigs, or boars living in the wild.. they were an introduced species, much like the horse..

Now there is one exception to the rule.. and that is the javelina or peccary..

Peccaries (also known as javelinas, by the Portuguese name javali and Spanish jabalí or pecarí) are medium-sized mammals of the family Tayassuidae. Peccaries are members of the artiodactyl suborder Suina, as are swine (Suidae) and possibly hippopotami.[1] They are found in the southwestern area of North America and throughout Central and South America. Peccaries usually measure between 90 to 130 centimetres (3.0 to 4.3 ft), and a full-grown adult usually weighs between about 20 to 40 kilograms (44 to 88 lb).

People often confuse peccaries, which are found in the Americas, with pigs which originated in Afro-Eurasia, especially since some domestic pigs brought by European settlers have escaped over the years and now run wild as razorback hogs in many parts of the United States.
