Putting on the GeoTrail every year takes a lot of work, and we couldn't do it without the help from the geocaching community. Thanks to TheChad for helping us look after this cache!
Feral swine are a combination of Eurasian wild boar and escaped or un-kept domestic swine. In Ohio, they can be found in southeastern Ohio where adults range in size from 125–200 pounds. Males are solitary but females and offspring live in groups called “sounders.” Feral swine can breed year-round and produce up to 2 litters of 4-10 piglets per year. Feral swine are considered an invasive species because they carry diseases, parasites, cause erosion, prey on and out-compete native species, and cause significant damage to agricultural crops, property, and natural resources each year. Damage in the U.S are estimated to be greater than $1.5 billion annually.
