Knowledge for the new The M1 Carbine Collector

Thing that perplexes me is how they made it all the way up here to our prairies. I haven't seen them with my eyes but the people telling me should be able to distinguish what breed they are and they say feral...like yours down south.

Jim, I was hunting feral hogs in B.C. 40 years ago. It seems some German immigrants missing their annual Black Forest Boar hunts released hogs between Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs in the hope of reviving their hobby in B.C. The Fish and Wildlife Branch issued an open season on them with no bag limit in the hopes of wiping them out before they overran the area. Members of the club I belonged to and I went after them a couple of times but never got a clear shot at any of them. If we were allowed to hunt over bait I'm sure we could have bagged a few but that practice is banned in B.C. If they're popping up in the prairies, it's probably for the same reason.
