Wild Boar
Wild boar is increasing in USA
How did they get here to USA?
In 1493,Christopher Columbus brought 8 hogs to the West Indies. Importation to the American mainland was in the mid 16th century by Hernan Cortes and Hernando de Soto.
Status in Britain
Between their medieval extinction and the 1980s, when wild boar farming began, only a handful of captive wild boar, imported from the continent, were present in Britain. Occasional escapes of wild boar from wildlife parks have occurred as early as the 1970s, but since the early 1990s significant populations have re-established themselves after escapes from farms; the number of which has increased as the demand for wild boar meat has grown.
Dayton, Ohio News say: "Wild hogs could be past point of elimination in Ohio
A federal wildlife specialist said. So far, Ohio's animals are apparently free of diseases that could harm people, and by me living in Ohio that pick up my ear.
It had been say, when a wild hog community is large enough, it reaches a critical mass and gains what scientists say is a permanent foothold.
Twenty-one states fall into that category of having an "established" hog population. When the population is smaller, it can still be removed by hunting and trapping.
The USDA's Hicks said wild pigs are challenging to kill.
"They're a pretty smart animal, and they learn from our mistakes," he said. "They are prolific breeders. In our southern counties, trying to find them on a large tract of land can be difficult."
Wildlife experts have said the hogs are increasingly running roughshod in rural areas, suburbs and even a few cities. They're digging up cemeteries, gardens and lawns, causing car wrecks — and occasionally attacking people.
In 2009:
• A wild pig attacked a St. Petersburg, Fla., woman in her backyard in April, goring her leg. Seven months later, an Avon Park, Fla., driver was killed when her sports utility vehicle flipped after colliding with a wild hog.
• In Detroit, a wild pig wandered through downtown, making its way to the home of a family in nearby Warren, Mich.
• In September, in a Redding, Calif.-area subdivision, an estimated 100 feral hogs tore out landscaping and turned lawns into muddy messes.

What is the best caliber rifle to use for wild boar hunting?
Is a .223 enough? Any recomendations on brands? Savage?
A .223 doesn't have enough terminal energy to humanely kill a good sized boar. The 223 is great for coyotes and chucks and prairie dogs, but not boar. Most states don't allow 223 for deer hunting either. For caliber, you could go with 257 Roberts, 6.5x55 Swede, 25-06,270,30-06 or 308. If it is simply for boar and deer sized game you don't need a magnum cartridge.
The 270 and the 30-06 give you the most flexibility on bullet range, but all those calibers would work well to 300 yards.
Savage/Stevens are wonderful rifles, as are the Howa 1500/Weatherby Vangards. Either rifle choice is good and affordable.
