Car hits wild boar in N.H., except it’s probably not wild
Filed under wildlife by david brooks at 9:58 am
The blog has concerned itself lately with debating whether various large mammals are present in New Hampshire - mountain lions, wolves, attack coyotes - but I hadn’t thought of wild boars until I saw this Concord Monitor story about a woman hitting one on I-89. It may be the first car-wild boar collision in state history.
Fish & Game officials say any such sightings are the result of escapees from the 24,000-acre Blue Mountain Forest and Game Preserve, a 120-year-old private hunting park two towns away: “We have no reason to believe that a substantial wild population has developed.”
Let’s hope not. Feral wild hogs have become a big, big problem in Texas and other parts of the Southeast, as the Atlantic reports here.

have a friend who literally looks like a wild boar. He is a nice guy, real down to earth guy. The thing is, he looks like a wild boar and so he can not get a good lady to be his girlfriend. So he has settled for a straight up 305. Is that the best he can do? Poor guy, I feel real sad that nature played this evil trick on him.
