Pig/Swine, Feral (Sus scrofa) on Jun 13, 2010

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Heard grunting, the unmistakeable squealing of a pig, and running around by a hoofed animal at 3 am in my backyard.

Commentary

Any tips on type of fencing to keep these creatures out, and any tips on avoiding catching a disease from them, would be most appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Hi Maya, I have shared your report with ODFW, who will be contacting you regarding what you heard.

Hi Maya, ODFW reviewed the hotline report, and noted it shows a good aerial view of a residential area and some small acreages nearby. Without further information, such as a sighting or activity on the ground that demonstrates the presence of feral swine, ODFW cannot confirm this was a swine.
