I told nutoy last year, I wish I had a place up there close to the lease. I would buy a good Russian Boar to breed Sows, I trapped, and release the Sows. No way I would buy a good blooded boar to release up there. My luck, it would be shot the next day.

I am not sure, but there are a couple of places advertising on the 'net, that sell them. They have pictures. Do a search, and see if you can't find them.

OPINION WANTED?
Do russian boar exist? This is very contraversial. Some say that there is no such thing as a russian boar; they say that European is the correct term; what do you think? Is a deer a deer, an elk an elk, a fox a fox?
I personally think that it does not really matter and have stayed out of the argument; there are several different breeds of boar that have been created for hunting, etc. I think it would be very hard to convince russians that they do not have wild boar.

| I have seen the term "Eurasian Boar", as well. I tell you that the hogs we have in East Texas (See pictures from nutoy and the attached picture here, and you will see that these hogs are not physically like domestic hogs. If you go to the Texas Cooperative Extention Service website, and read their description and characteristics (long snout, thicker in the front end than the back end, row of long hair down the back, hair with split ends), you will agree that these hogs meet the russian boar characteristics. also, the Texas Cooperative Extention states that these hogs (russian boar) were released in Texas, in the 1930's, if I remember correctly.

| Here is a picture of a group of sows and pigs. While their body confirmation is not the same as the boars, they still have the long hair down the back, (but not as long), and they have the long thin head. Locally, they are referred to a lot as PWRs, for Piney Woods Rooters. Also, note the tail is straight, and not curled up, as domestic hogs, and this is another trait of russian boar.

Nice pictures chick. I'm talking more specifically about the name "Russian boar." The term "Russian boar," has become the term to describe the eurpean boar. The Charactoristics of the european are the same. So, in the U.S. the correct term for all boar that are not feral mix would be European. This is the argument that I stay out of because I call a coke a coke and I call pepsi a coke. So, when people say that they have russian boar are they from russia only, or are they a mix of european/eurasion brought by the spanish?

| You are right! The thing I was saying is that the hogs pictured are not domestic hogs gone wild, but of a different blood line.

So, would you say that it is O.K. to call our wild boar "Russian boar?" I think it's O.k. because it has become the norm, but I'm sick and tired of biologists and posts trying to correct people. Everytime I see a post or article correcting someone, it takes away from the spirit in which they asked a question or posted a comment. Boar Hunter Magazine was slamming people for this misuse of terms, but I really believe it has become a term in which most people recognize as not regular feral hogs. What sounds better? Feral hog hunting? Eurasian boar hunting? Russian boar hunting?

When I was about 16(yeah, that was about 34 years ago) my dad got an invite for he and I to go hunting on the Gallagher Ranch in Bandera. I told them I wanted to go where there were hogs. They put me overlooking a tanque. I could see 3 hog heads on the other side of the tanque, and when it got dark, I went over to look at them. These heads were huge, with really big tusks. I looked at them for about 30 seconds and decided that the deer stand was the best place to wait for the guy that was coming to pick me up! These hogs, which they termed Russian Boar, were a littel different than what we have here. There is no doubt that the hogs we have in Sabine County, have strong russian Boar influence, but how much is anyone's guess. When I was hunting in Newton County in the mid '90's, the hogs there were almost just like domestic hogs, and that is only about an hours drive south from Sabine County. I really don't see what it matters what we call them. I call them hogs.
