wild" hogs loose in Schuylkill
WEST PENN TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A group of wild hogs are on the loose in Schuylkill County.
Owner Michael Comisac said eight of his pigs escaped ten days ago on his property at Big White Oak Ranch.
Comisac said he just sold those pigs for about $5,600. He put them in a trailer to cart them away and they got out underneath a fence.
“I don't know if something scared them or whatever, but they poked their heads through the one side of the fence and they got out,” Comisac said.
He is really hoping for some snow because that means the hogs might come back.
Crews are even searching for the hogs at night because they are nocturnal.
“We use thermal imaging, that way the lights don't try to scare the pigs. So we use thermal imaging to try to drive them back through the fence,” Grandson Daniel Thomas Comisac Jr. said.
Comisac said if you see one of the hogs, it will likely run away and it will not hurt you or your pets if they are outside. If you see one of the pigs, he asks you call his cell phone at 570-449-6838.
“If they have a cell phone, call me. I'll be there in a half hour. If I get them back, I'll give you a reward of at least $100 a hog,” Comisac said.
