My wife is from a nearby town and claims she saw a boar in the woods behind her house when she was a kid, her dad thinks it might have escaped from there

It is likely. No other reasons for them to be there. NH classifies them as escaped private property so doesn't allow a hunting season. VT, on the other hand has a season. NH's stance will bight us in the ass if a few pregnant sows escape.

Some neat maps. Not just the local area, but to see the incremental expansion of territory. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/wildlifedamage/operational-activities/feral-swine/sa-fs-history

Yikes! Looks likely that a whole population originated from there, I can’t think of another explanation. It’s shocking such an invasive species wouldn’t be allowed to be hunted. This would have been late 80’s/ early 90’s she saw it. Ps I like your username, I too hate those little buggers

a few years back a woman hit a boar on I-89 near there. One even showed up in a back yard in Lebanon.

I know folks that have harvested Corbin Park boar.

The fence along the perimeter has really old spots, and pigs are smart.

Yeah my buddy used to raise regular domesticated pigs, they are wicked escape artists, you have to bury fencing like two feet underground or they’ll burrow under it
