I agree with you Bent Duck. Maybe they are dressed in camo, so you cant you can't see them...

saw some sign last fall in allegan sga looked like a massive deer scrape the ground was just tore up. under a bunch of oaks. I assume they were eating (all) the acorns.

Put many miles on U.P. roads and back country everyday and I have never see any piggies in my travel.. Where are all these wild pigs suppost to be? I always have my firearm in the truck and am ready if I see one. Suppost to be good eating!!!!!!!!!

"RUMORS" of some on the Ft Custer Military base but that's the same area that the Cougar sightings come from. Have come across Bear tracks on the State Rec part but that was many years ago. Did see the Wolf that escaped from Binder Park Zoo a couple days before it got hit by a train South of Kazoo.

Here is how I see it. Now remember this isn't scientific.

I know 4 hunters that swear they have seen cougars.

I know 2 hunters that swear they have seen a Sasquatch.

I know 1 hunter that swears he seen a UFO land in the woods by Lowell.

I know 0 hunters that have seen feral pigs.

No wonder there are no feral hogs here in SW Mich. DNR introduced a mating pair of Sasquatch into the area! I heard Sasquatch really digs on swine.

I think the mystery just got solved

I talked to a DNR biologist last night and he said that once they opened up that you could shoot wild pigs it didn't take long for the hunters to clean a lot of them out. He said follow up interviews with people that had reported them on their land haven't seen them in a couple of years.

Na I think it was the Sasquatchs. Would that be the plural form of Sasquatch?

I shot 2 and 4 of them were takin off the property I hunt in Hudson. A couple others were missed. This was 3 yrs ago and havnt seen them since. I cant wait till they come back...they sureare tasty.

except that no one has pictures.. No one has seen them.

Sure, lots of " i know a guy, that has a girlfriend, that knows a guy, whose uncle knows this other guy that said he say one"

hardly scientific..

most of the "other" pigs taken are of the "curiously domestic like" variety..

Another thing I like is the " saw alot of sign"..."areas all tore up"..
yet... no pics, trail cam stuff, or he like...

Seems that some of the other posts are correct....
you stand a better chance of alien abduction, or a sasquacth encounter, than you do of SEEing a (so called) Michigan feral Pig.
