There was an individual I know here that has 5000 acres and decided to fence it along with getting private preserve classification. Good Pa Mountain country.
It wasn't to be a commercial operation. Just for himself and friends. He also allowed the GC to do studies on the property. Went and somehow obtained some Deer from up in Canada that had the hog genetics. Since he was paying for the studies, I guess the GC obtained them. Managed the property for food with timber cutting rotation and planting.
After a more than a few years he and the GC decided the big hogs genetics needed to be eliminated as best as possible. They were tearing up the smaller and younger Bucks something awful and in fact some of the smaller ones killed or tore themselves up bad trying to escape thru the fence.
Haven't crossed paths with him in some time, but would like to know what is now going on at the place.
