Easy, they just fight their muffin top into their kmart jeans, slip into their mens snow boots, throw on their spartan hooded sweatshirt and waddle off to class. As for the fur coat, you've obviously never seen an MSU coed in a tank top. |

A feral hog and a wild boar are two different critters. Pigs become feral after 4-5 generations in the wild. Most wild pigs (Boars) in Michigan are from Russian Boars that escaped from hunting ranches or were set free by ranches that had neglected there fences or released them after going bust. Michigan has always had feral pigs, from escaped pigs from farms. They dont usually become feral because the farmers usully get them and they dont reproduce due to lack of mates in the wild. We didnt used to have wild boars until the introduction of hunting ranches that imported them from Canada. Dont mean to throw wrench into the conversation, but does are da facts.

Michigan Boar
Thats true Cliffe. It has happened and will happen as these hunting ranches go broke. Rather than pay to get then transported to other ranches based on the tight DNR rules, the ranches will let them go. Also, you will start seeing Fallow Europeon Deer, Rams, and other exotics, in Michigan. Watch.

Whatever they are I don't particularly want to run into one on a nice day hike. This I can see getting a CCW for.

No but they'll still be around spring and summer and I would think after this winter they might be in a bad mood!
