I wouldn't doubt you guys up in the northern areas will have feral hogs to hunt some day. While they do a lot of damage to the environment, they are a lot of fun to hunt and good eating. Here in the south there is really no way to eliminate them from the wilds, so some of us guys just enjoy them. We have some pretty thick woods in this area and I am out in them almost daily just to keep my old butt up and out of the recliner. I'll be 75 pretty soon and need to stay as active as I'm able to...and sometimes Ol' Bacon just helps me along.
