Are you saying they actually brought wild hogs into your area? That beats all I’ve ever heard.
Dnr released bobcats here several years ago. Now we're getting overun with them. Now our rabbit, quail numbers are falling to an all time low. Town people that's moved out here with little dogs,are going missing.
If any farmers down south need hogs eliminated. Id love to bring my thirteen year old twin boys down for a hunt. Several years ago I got to go on a duck/hog hunt in North Texas. Neat place. They planted irrigated corn off the back of a huge lake where they could use the lake as irrigation. They had several cattle there also. They had a few hundred AC of irrigated hay ground. One evening we went out hog hunting and they had planted this hay field a month earlier. We started across it and I asked. Why did you guys plow this half of the field. Guy looks at me and said hogs done it in 3 nights. It was almost 50 ac. Amazed me how they could do that and the number of wild pigs there were. I also remember the duck guild one morning stopping the ranger looking in awe. I asked him what he was looking at. He replied it was the biggest buck he'd over seen there...... I bet that deer weighed 80 pds and was just a two pointer.
