I just assumed another boar would move in and do the deed.I would have to say it does.
If you had 2 Bars and 10 sows ant the end of the year you would have 12 hogs.
If you had 2 Boars and 10 sows at the end of the year you would likely have 100

Just amazed at how much the government has in stake for a non native invasive species. Oh yeah, I forgot, they make money on and regulate the harvest of such on taxpayer funded lands.
Heck,,,trap, transport to your property, fatten up, kill, eat. One less wild hog out there. Why so much red tape for the end result of a dead hog.
Sorry sir but I guess the Ga department of agriculture need to be advised of this , I wish I could remember the Dr’s name that I spoke with 2 times, and after 3 calls I got the answer that as long as I’m on my property or hunting club I could release them as long as I didn’t transport or have them in trap more than 24hrsIt is unlawful to release a feral hog once captured.
O.C.G.A. § 27-3-31 section B(i) "...no person shall release any trapped or transported feral hog into any area that is not fenced to prevent the escape of such feral hog onto the land of another."
Unfortunately the person you spoke with was mistaken. This law is being enforced by DNR Law Enforcement Division.
You assumed correctI just assumed another boar would move in and do the deed.

Don't worry, I had a conversation with them and DNR LED before I posted. I posted the state law verbatim, it's pretty clear. I apologize for any confusion, sometimes this happens during the course of changes to laws and regulations.
So if you trapped a wild hog on your property,, and put it in a pen on your property to feed it and fatten it up , that is technically legal ?
Yep, unless you've obtained a feral hog facility license from GDA.
EXACTLY!!!They ALL were started this way ^^^^^
Hence feral.
What was it, the law, prior to the 01/2019 changes?
do you mean it is illegal unless you have a permit?
Regarding releasing hogs, it's been illegal to release them onto unfenced property since 2011, minimum fine of $1,500 and up to $5,000.
This seems to predominately be a trapping thread under the Dogging Header, this would also apply to the catch and release programs some doggers use? Along with catching a hog they could also catch a $1,500-5,000 fine for releasing it after it was caught?
