As a VERY EXPERIENCED hog hunter, it’s nice to see real true information about wild hogs instead of the fantasized hype that most posters put out there. Clearly this is general information which I believe is quite accurate. But of course there are always exceptions to any rule. Very well presented accurate information here.

[@Noodleydoo]

My friend Kevin had a big pond on his ranch and he'd let me fish in it. One night about a year ago I called him to see if I could come out there (Elgin, Texas) and he informed me that the pond was no longer there. I thought he lost his mind! Turns out, feral hogs came through and just destroyed. If you saw the mud bog that used to be a nice pond, you'd think someone took a huge back hoe to it. These hogs are incredibly destructive.

[@2wheeleddemon999]

When I was stationed at Guam, Hafa Adai!, I was taking trash out while in the outer bands of a typhoon that were kickin our bohiners. Even though I was the Watch Supvr, decided to take out the trash, as the wind was very strong, and the females were relieved that I volunteered. I wouldn't want my spouse or daughter to go out into the storm as far as the dumpster was. Anyway...Our spaces were on the 2nd deck of the bldg. I went down the steps, and out where the dumpster was. This was a open area right next to the Boonies. As I walked up to the dumpster, I thought I heard a noise. I blew it off as the wind. I was walking back to the bldg, and heard the noise again but not as loud. I looked back to see a wild sow running from the dumpster, right for me. With the wind now at my face, running was difficult, but as I went up the ladder steps, I looked back about half way up, only to see the sow standing at the bottom, grunting and squealing. I got up to the landing and looked down again, and from between two cars, out walked a piglet. The sow grunted a couple of times and both trotted off back into the Boonies. She was certain I had her piglet and wanted it back! Those steps saved me, for sure. I'm sure hogs will charge or attack often times for no real reason. Ok, I'll shut this Word Fit down. Regrets for Lack of Brevity. Y'all Take Care and Stay SAFE!! Prayers for those in Ida's path.

mario moso, you’re right they do and they are a native species that belongs in North America. It’s been scientifically proven that healthy eco systems have a balanced number of apex predators like wolves and pumas to keep the non predatory species in balance. The problem is the overpopulation of people, the most destructive force there is.

I live in Barcelona, in a neighborhood besides Collserola natural park. It's very usual to find them wandering in the streets looking for food. Sometimes, walking through the park, I've found some of them, but most of the time they run the opposite way, unless they're with their puppies or they feel trapped and don't have any way of escape..in this case they are very dangerous. Several times my best option was to be quiet and out of their way until it was safe to continue mine.

[@hermangre]

Bison("buffalo") are bison. They weren't intelligent as pigs. Feral pigs are extremely agressive. Their 'dog teeth' have become razor-sharp tusks, some about 7 inches long. They will eat anything, even other pigs, and people.

[@garrisont.1047]

No money in it. Bison were almost wiped out because it was making people money. No real money in Feral hogs yet. If someone started a dog food company or other company to profit from hogs then the population problem would be solved in a year. Unless someone can get rich it won't be seriously addressed.

[@SurfCityBill]

[@indy_go_blue6048]

Bill L. Sport shooting was a part of it, but mainly they were killed for their skin. Coats were extremely popular in the late 1860s and '70s. But I think a lot of it was pure politics: Get rid of the buffalo and you get rid of the Indians and open the land to cattle and later farming.

[@troublemaker5376]

I agree with you

[@daveperala4723]

Where I hunt, the farmers complain about wild hogs tearing up their land, then want to charge 75-100 to hunt them. I understand they need to recoup some from the loss of their crops, but allowing hunters access to kill the hogs helps them. Then if there's a fence line involved, gotta worry about trespassing to recover a kill, or wounded. Some guys will still use tree stands so they can see into a field, landowner may have issues with that too. The state used to bring in trappers, but it got to expensive. Now it's open season year round. The F&W along with local law enforcement freak out if they see anyone hunting at night. Bad problem with poaching in the past. With the NVG and thermal getting cheaper it makes it easier to take them at night. Still going to set you back hundreds for the gear though. And unless you have a suppressor, one shot and they're in the wind. That's another couple of hundred and a waiting period.

[@jasonwhipple8768]

I hope Noble Research has updated their sources. Their description of feral pig behavior is spot on, but their info on sizes is not. In Central Texas, I harvested a 200# hog several years ago. I restrict my hog kills to 150# due to amount of meat after processing (you will be eating it for a while) and the fact that size = age, so after 200# they get gamy.. Hence I have to be selective when I see them. I eradicated a 350# hog, and that wasn't the 400# one we were trying to get rid of on that hnting trip. I eradicated a 300# and 350# on a subsequent trip. There are verified weigh-ins of 800# to 900#. Many suburban areas are starting to see 400# examples showing up in neighborhoods. All these are wild (i.e. NOT DOMESTICATED), and big. 1000# is a serious stretch for a feral pig, but they easily get above 150#.

[@Dollapfin]

I hope you know you need to kill them at a faster rate. Get an ar 50 and take care of them.

I saw a hog on Matagorda Peninsula that had to weigh in excess of 600 lbs. We chased him around a bit and i was concerned he would turn on us and overturn the Suzuki Samurai we were riding in (my freind driving the vehicle somewhat reckless). The terrain was a bit rough and sandy so the animal just flat outran us. It looked more like a small black rhino than a hog.

[@jameshickok2349]

We raised hogs for decades (non-confinement) and boars can easily reach 600 lbs. We usually sent them to market at 350+/- lbs. But a good performer is worth keeping around longer. Even though I've seen thousands of hogs I'm not sure how big they would get if you kept feeding them high protein diet. I suspect Hogzilla would not be out of the question for top size.

North America once had two genus of peccaries, platygonus and mylohyus, throughout the continent not long ago as evolution goes. Feral hogs are quite similar animals to these extinct ones so are filling a vacant niche. That said I'm sure they are not the most helpful neighbors for the farmer. At the moment there aren't a lot of predators in its range that can take down a pig. At the same time the peccaries roamed America there were wolves and jaguars roaming over the whole continent too. Mega fauna presents mega issues but things fall apart without it.

@@randytausch3519 Actually they are quite closely related. Peccaries (family tayassuidae) and pigs (family suidae) form the suborder suina within the order cetartiodactyla. So technically they are close. In fact peccaries are the group from which pigs evolved. More importantly they do very similar things within the environment. Both feed on similar foods. Both find that food with their noses creating similar distubances. They are hunted by similar predators. That seems pretty similar to me.

A question I've asked on several of those hog shooting videos and haven't gotten an answer to yet is this: When hunting them down, do they try to take out the sows (esp. the alpha) on the first shot or concentrate on the boar? Shoot ten boars and others take their places; shoot 10 sows and you've put at least a scratch in the problem.

[@rm5902]

You are correct. Unfortunately most hunters want tusks as a trophy. Also, they are constantly moving in a group. You try to shoot th one that gives you the best target. So, you cant pick all th time. You should try it. Help the environment.

[@toxic1698]

Depends on how you're hunting if you're hunting for food you want the one that gives you the most meat, if you're hunting for population control you go for the females, and if you're hunting for trophies you go for the large males.

The clear pattern of recreational hunters being a major pest in themselves is rife in western countries at least,. Probably elsewhere also unless their introductions of pests intended for their amusement is rapidly stamped out. And then they wail about "poachers". And often impede effective pest control. They are a valid user group, but many are selfish and actively ignorant about their problem status, a major issue for those who don't cause problems. Since some of the ignorant are also rich types like Safari Club members etc, ignorance and money get to do their damage with influence.

[@adb.1178]

as long as the americas is concerned, yes.They aren't native to this lands therefore the suitable number of them is zero.

[@wildghostoutlaw1595]

It will never happen now.

Lucios Fox Farm animals aren't native to America either. They were all brought here by the Spanish... along with hogs.

Mathematically and biologically impossible. If you shoot 70% of the feral hogs on your ranch...the population will just stay even.

Just boggled at :33 mark with the old photo. Those two women look so well groomed sitting in front of a dilapidated, cracked, cold house that looks to be made of manure and mud with muck all around them. Talk about grace and dignity.

Wow, this is happening in America? We LOVE bacon way too much to have this going down. Game plan: Ya'll rope 'em / I'll smoke 'em

Dealing with hogs, one barbecue at a time

[@paralleleagle7293]

Hog-ziller was eating the protein pellets from a catfish farm thats why he got so big

[@paulyang748]
