Anything in the Mecosta Lake shores? As a life long lakefront semi/resident (raised on lake all my life. Grandparents bought and lived all seasons at different times (even heard the lakes "singing" many times in the spring thaws). I have never seen signs or actual feral pigs. Just want to know what to keep an eye out for. Also what are the laws regarding "hunting" them and the conseguence to "taking" one? I understand nutrionally they are the same as domestic pigs.

Hit uncle google for sign and you'll get some good pointers on ID'ing tracks as compared to the similar deer track and especially the rooting areas. You cant dispute that one. I've seen both in Charlevoix county.

shot on sight. this is from MI DNR website
State to Hunters: Help Eliminate Feral Swine
Wild swine pose a threat to domestic livestock, wildlife, the environment and individuals.
New legislation in Michigan allows for the opportunistic take of feral swine running at large in all counties in Michigan. Please see the link below for more information on Part 413. In states where feral swine have become established, they have caused crop damage, pose a serious threat to the health and welfare of the domestic swine, endanger humans, impact wildlife populations, and impact the environment by disrupting the ecosystem. PLEASE REPORT ALL FERAL SWINE SIGHTINGS, KILLS AND DAMAGE using the form or contact information below.
