I stocked a private island in Maryland with guineas, for a tick reduction study. Big problem is predators. Eagles and fox. Second keeping water and feeders stocked because all the wildlife likes easy food.
Deer fox bear even bobcats swim really well for free range birds.
If this is a drop off and come to check on them a few times a year You'll probly get to meet animal control or dnr with animal abandonment papers. How would you keep them from walking across the frozen river to greener pasture?

6 acres for a industrial pig farm on an island? So you boat the pens pigs food out? What do you do with the pig****t? Dump it in the lake? Don't think DNR will like this idea. How would you control breeding litters. Do you have electric or solar power? How would you set up waters for pig farm, fans or timed feeders. Even living on site would be a stinking nightmare. Sure large auto feeders are available expensive. But man you got to boat the ton of feed out there. stock wild pheasants?

I would never do that, I was comparing the quality life to a pig in an industrial operation to that of 2 or 3 having their own 6 acre island to call their 'pen'. I was trying to imply Animal Control/DNR should have no reasonable issue by comparison... Taking the 1000+lb of feed over to raise a couple of pigs(presuming they could forage some) might still be worth it.

Sorry must have read your post wrong. Thinking you were sitting in up to look like the photo.
