Domestic pigs were introduced to America by the first settlers. Pigs were used for food and were often allowed to roam free. In the early centuries, settlers often kept them unpenned and because the pig is an intelligent, adaptable animal. It quickly established itself in the wild where they came to be a serious pest. They eat and damage crops, damage fences. And will kill animals as large as a sheep. But the greatest threat feral pigs pose to agriculture is their potential to carry diseases likes foot and mouth disease and triginosis. The largest populations live in the Appalachians and in the South, where ever they can find food and cover and always where there is good water supply. They breed throughout the year under favorable conditions usually producing two litters a year, with an average of six piglets in each litter. There can be high mortality among piglets depending on food supplies and weather conditions. Sows will aggressively protect their young and are quite dangerous of they believe there is any threat. Piglets mature quickly and become sexually mature when they are about six months old. From: http://www.huntingsociety.org/Boarhunting.html
