Description 1 online resource (25 minutes)
Summary The species Sus Scrofa, or feral pig, is a prolific invader in California. The pig is not native to California and has no native predators. There is no designated hunting season for the feral pig. Feral pigs can be hunted year-round, and depredation is allowed without requirement of a hunting license. Most farmers and crop consultants consider the feral pig a destructive nuisance, and believe that their destruction of irrigation systems, and farmland completely negates positive aspects of their presence in California. however, some ecologists believe that the feral pig's natural rooting habits result in a positive impact on the ecosystem. Feral pigs efficiently turn the soil and spread seeds and vegetation. No Season on Boar explores the impact of humans on the environment. Farmers, crop consultants, and historians, weigh in on the positive and negative aspects of having feral pigs in California
