Daily Inter LakeLooming among our neighbors to the north is an invasive species Montana experts say would cause extensive environmental degradation to the Big Sky state, should they ever successfully saunter across the border.
And theyre edging closer every year.
Large populations of feral hogs throughout Saskatchewan and Alberta have been slowly encroaching on the Montana-Canada border, placing wildlife experts, farmers and other stakeholders on edge.
Multiple reports have emerged of groups of feral hogs being spotted very close to the border. One of the most recent sightings occurred earlier this summer when eight mature pigs were discovered in Canada directly above Lincoln County. Thats according to John Steuber, the state director and a supervisory wildlife biologist for Wildlife Services, a program with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

we've been eradicating for 150 years or so. Some natural predators might help this situation.

Montana FWP doesn't have the personnel or leadership to head this off. Maybe our wolf population. Will take out some of these pigs.
