Funny in the reading I've done if you see one there are likely a hundred....

Lets hope that is not the case.

Friends in Georgia tell me that when you see "a few",rest well assured that there's a he** of a lot more than that. It won't be long before they start popping up all over the place.

I don't think so...unless you're a farmer and don't mind having your pastures and crops torn to crap or horse ranches where the horses can be chased and bitten. OMNRF is not pleased with the prospect and,officially,they're being very tight lipped about it,so far,except for instances where they need to advise landowners. Apparently,we can shoot them on sight as long as we're following the usual rules of property access/trespassing,safety etc.
I've had smoked bacon and chops from Wild Boar (Pennsylvania) and it's got to be the absolute best wild game meat on the planet.

If this actually turns out to be "a thing",look for the government to slap a season on them and require tags and licenses. They'll never miss an opportunity to "cash in",not that they don't need the money or anything.

This is the first that I have heard of them

Well if they multiply like crazy the farmers may be a little freer at giving access to hunt their property.
