While wild hogs, also known as wild boars or feral swine, are already present in Indiana, (Indiana) state officials are tight-lipped about their exact location.
“I can tell you from my own nearly 20 years’ experience, … that providing location information is counterproductive to … control measures, and that impacted landowners are very adamant in their desires not to have the locations made known,” said Steven Backs, a wildlife research biologist at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. “For many of them, the hog hunter problem is sometimes worse than the hogs themselves.”
