Abstract:

The control of wild boar in the Great Smokey Mountains National park has become a contention between Park Service managers and NCWRC officers. A previous agreement provided for the live-trapping of boar in the Park and their move to public hunting lands; however, the Park Service has been moving toward attempts at complete eradication from the park to which the NCWRC are not amenable.
