Missouri counts only 17 wild boar records, all from GBIF, likely from trapping and removal programs rather than casual sightings. Mark Twain National Forest, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and Ha Ha Tonka State Park sit in Ozark forest and river-bottom country, ground wild boar root through for grubs, acorns, and plant roots.
This is a feral, invasive population descended from escaped domestic pigs and released Eurasian stock, not a native game animal, and the Missouri Department of Conservation treats it as a species to eliminate rather than protect. With so few records spread thin across the year, no single month stands out as a true peak. Where boar shows up here likely traces control efforts and incidental sightings more than any settled population pattern.
