They are here in Bartholomew county. My neighbor showed me trail cam pics a couple years ago.
.Hogs were originally released by the spanish in order to provide meat for explorers coming to the new world.
I guess the point is that wild pigs are nothing new since people have been stomping around on our bit of dirt. Nothing to really get spooled up about.
Besides, if Indiana residents could hunt every 4 legged critter to extinction with muzzle loading rifles, just think of the damage we could do with modern firearms.
Unfortunately that isn't how Indiana Legal Code is written. It is written that you cannot kill any animal with a suppressor, not even a domestic one IIRC. You have a cow you want to kill and butcher? Can't legally kill it with a suppressed weapon, instead you must use an unsuppressed weapon and spook the whole herd.Since they are not game animals and a nuisance animal.

I just picked up a nice night scope for this reason.
AR + Night Vision + Suppressor = Dead Pig.
