Upset with Deer Rules, Man Releases Pigs
Posted by DDH Staff
A Texas man is being tried in Wisconsin for allegedly releasing feral hogs in Wisconsin as a way of protesting the state's strict nonresident deer hunting regulations. Robert Johnson, 55, of San Marcos, Texas, allegedly drove 31 wild hogs from Texas and released them in Clark County, Wis., in 2002. Wisconsin, which had no feral hogs until then, now has resident populations in more than 30 counties. A judge is hearing the case. Johnson faces possible fines up to $31,000.
