Not to split hairs, because it really is but you seem to be conciencious so I thought I'd let you know that in MN, the Western Hoggy is of "special concern" not endangered.

"A species is considered endangered if the species is threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range within Minnesota."

"A species is considered a species of special concern if, although the species is not endangered or threatened, it is
extremely uncommon in Minnesota, or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements and deserves careful
monitoring of its status. Species on the periphery of their range that are not listed as threatened may be included in
this category along with those species that were once threatened or endangered but now have increasing or protected,
stable populations."

Yeah, splitting hairs, I know.
