Feral boar in Vermont probably escaped from NH hunting park (what a surprise)
A male feral swine is captured by a game camera in Vermont's White River Valley this summer and was later shot. It is suspected to have escaped from Corbin Park, a private game preserve in New Hampshire's Sullivan County. (USDA photograph)

I’m long thought it’s crazy that New Hampshire allows a big, private hunting preserve to have loose wild boars, which are an incredibly destructive menace. It’s like allowing somebody to have a zebra mussel farm in Lake Winnipesaukee with assurances that they won’t escape. That’s why I titled this 2020 piece “New Hampshire has its own source for a feral swine bomb.”

One of the boars was just shot in Vermont. It was a long way from Corbin Park, but that’s still the likely source, reports the Valley News. Stupid.

    We see many species of boards that have escaped from over the years most likely from the back of pick up trucks. Its no surprise they include non native species .
