A wild boar's hairs are longer than a feral pig, but most people wouldn't be able to distinguish one from the other. Wild boars are common in all 67 counties in Florida.
And they are to be considered an "invasive species" by the FWC...

They can be hunted, year round, without a permit. It is encouraged. Just like they encourage hunting for pythons (another invasive species)...
