DNS...My Grandfather and Great Grandfather would earmark their pigs and turn em loose in the bottoms....Everyone did....U had your own mark....This was from the early 1900's to late 40's....

That makes sense. I never asked Pop how he knew his hogs from his neighbors' hogs, but they did and every so often would return them to their rightful owners.
I will see him on Friday and try to remember to ask him how they marked their hogs. It will probably be like you said for your folks.

They are a BIG problem in places, but you shouldn't pass global judgment on them for what they are in you state.

Even in states where hogs are considered to be game animals, they are noted as being problematic. That they haven't gotten as bad yet where you are is only a matter of luck and convenience. Nobody has managed to be able to control feral hogs anywhere in the country.
Where are you, BTW? What state?
