I live in GA. we are infested with them. they destroy our food plots tear up our deer feeders, root up the roads. But they sure are fun to hunt and good to eat. Believe me your not alone.
Just the oposite here in Kansas, we have very few and there is no season and Fish and Game traps them and kills them when farmers call in with a complaint.
The state even passed a law that its illegal to hunt them as a varmint or pest, etc.
