Just watched ABC news reporting on wild hog populations in the country and they claim wild hogs exist in MN. Is it true?

I think they could. As a kid raised in South Dakota on a hog farm I saw it get mighty cold out there in the hog barns. We didn't heat them. I know some would hog pile together but it was still mighty cold. If a wild hog was close to the Minnesota/Iowa border it might make a big difference in temps for it.

I ain't never seen one but I have not been farther than 75 miles south of St Paul along the Mississippi. They're still dumfounded about cougar being found up in Northern MN. And now they have Cougar and Canadian Lynx mating and producing offspring. I can find and post the game trail camera picture "WildBill" took close to Duluth if you like.

Here's the link to the forum and I tested it. Go to top of page for pic.

Tail on a lynx should be short and black. This cat has the black lynx ears though.

I again had problems getting back into GO with my user name and password. Won't have to worry after Iran gets the nuke and sends us all back into the twelveth century though.

   I have heard rumors (only rumors) then in South East MN in whitewater.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.
