Message: <blockquote data-quote="guywhofishes" data-source="post: 59403" data-attributes="member: 337">Landowners or hunters who happen to encounter feral pigs in North Dakota must notify the State Board of Animal Health immediately. Shooting of feral pigs is illegal in North Dakota unless a person is protecting property or livestock. Casey Anderson, assistant chief of wildlife for the State Game and Fish Department, said state law requires reporting of feral pigs to help the BOAH eliminate these nuisance animals. “We have had numerous situations since 2008 where feral swine have been detected in North Dakota and we take these reports very seriously,” Anderson said. “With the upcoming deer hunting season approaching, we want to let people know they need to report immediately if they see feral pigs or observe signs such as rooting.” Anyone who observes or suspects the presence of feral pigs should call the BOAH at 701-328-2655, Game and Fish Department at 701-328-6300, or USDA Wildlife Services at 701-250-4405. Feral pigs can threaten domestic livestock, crops, public safety, natural habitat and wildlife. Anderson said they often become nocturnal if pressured which makes removal efforts more difficult. “They are very hardy and resilient,” he added, “that’s why immediate action is essential.” A landowner may eliminate wild pigs on his or her land if they pose an immediate threat, but must contact the BOAH within 24 hours. The landowner must follow any instructions given by the board regarding the handling, preservation and disposal of the carcass.<a href="http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUxMTAyLjUwOTQ4MzYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MTEwMi41MDk0ODM2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NTg5MjY3JmVtYWlsaWQ9c3RnZXJtYWluQGRha290YXRlY2hub2xvZ2llcy5jb20mdXNlcmlkPXN0Z2VybWFpbkBkYWtvdGF0ZWNobm9sb2dpZXMuY29tJmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&&&100&&&http://gf.nd.gov/" target="_blank"><img src="https://public.govdelivery.com/system/images/30385/original/BW%20logo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>North Dakota Game and Fish Department100 N.
