Lancaster, thanks for posting. There are many instances of imported animals getting out.

Several years ago, a friend posted a picture of a young red stag on his land in middle Georgia. Since then, there have been other sightings of red deer in Georgia. These apparently escaped from game ranches. I am not sure if any survive. I don't think that there were any red deer breading in Georgia, though at one time, there were some elk in Georgia which I believe are closely related to red deer.

I don't think invasive species are a good thing for anyone, see the hoog problem for north american farmer. elk is the north american relativ of the european red deer and he belongs to georgia.

I agree with Lancaster. Invasive species rarely have environmental good sides.

True but someone did it in Aus and I guess we just have to live with and try and make the best of the unfortunate situation.

Hatred of "Invasive" species is a common theme among anti hunter and anti gun lobby industry members,

The "InvasivecSpecies Council" in NSW has been highlighted by the Shooters Fishers Farmers Party as sharing the same office building andcshared staff as another "dozen" Greenie, anti, Enviro etc radical extremist organisations. The invasive Species Council us another Marxist FRONT organisation pushing a Marxist agenda.

Introduced species can be a great benefit. Or damaging,

Banteng in the Top End, represent a huge benefit in the survival of a potential endangered species. Plus revenues for Aborigines,

Deer in Australia do not great harm the environment. No more than sheepm goats, cattle, horses, all domestic stock animals.

In Australia, the enviro Nazis, authorities, gate anything introduced, Want to 100% protect anything native. We can't even sporting hunt kangaroos, a species we have many tens of millions of. It's like if in Germany,you'd be banned from hunting roe deer and wild boar,

IMO this Chester is full of sh*t. No evidence warthog and especially African red river hogs are a problem.

If it's not sensational it's not a story for him. Note at the end he admits he's never seen a warthog in the wild in Texas.

Domestic pigs also don't go "wild" within a week. What a load of rubbish.

I want some of those chital/axis deer and especially black buck here.

"Invasive game species" could be good or bad, depending on what it is and how they are handled. If the game doesn't pose a threat to native game or civilians and does provide another hunting adventure, I m in favor of that.

Pigs have been around since 1500 and only recently within the past 20 - 30 years become a significant problem. I am not sure why that is, but it seems that if the pig sounder were such a problem, that farmers all over would be crying out for hunters to eliminate the problem. That has not happened in Georgia and pig shooting is a big business in Texas.

Texas has a large number of "invasive game species" and hunters seem to be very happy with that.

There are times when people don't want "invasive species" as they don't represent nature as existed 200 years ago or allow a game species for hunters. Hank Paulson bought Little St. Simons Island (LSSI) off Georgia coast, had all the fallow deer killed, and shut down the old LSSI Hunting Club. Paulson didn't like hunting and wanted the LSSI to be just a nature preserve. Dues from the LSSI Hunting Club had previously supported wildlife biologist for the island.
