The Feral Pig Problem in Texas

[@conrradotorres4653]

Living in Central Texas it's a nightmare. A few years back one of the neighbor's kids almost got killed by a 200lb hog. Those things are no joke. I honestly gave up deer hunting and I've spent most of my time getting rid of hogs instead

[@grantga01]

[@conrradotorres4653]

@@grantga01 hogs are considered pests and they're not categorized as a hunting species. A good A 15 is all you need. Normally it's best to use a semi auto rifle to get rid of many as possible. A shotgun is only if you're up close. It's very dangerous and I wouldn't recommend it

[@thepamphleteer9989]

As a Texan I understand how out of control the problem is. I have a buddy that owns a company that kills ferals from the air. He and his brother were both army helicopter pilots and they bought a Robinson R44. One day one shoots the other flies. They get it done though. People don't understand, if a pack of ferals decides your area is a good place to root it looks like 5 guys with monster trucks did donuts for about an hour. This happens in a period of hours. Go to bed your grounds look amazing wake up and it's all destroyed. The city or county is useless. They might put a few traps out near the area where it happened. So three or four traps for something that was done by about 100 hogs. I'll never forget this one time, I was in the bowels of the music industry for a little while. Basically I was a light and sound technician and a big show for me was 300-400 people. So me and my buddy get asked to run sound for a "music festival in Oklahoma". I live close to the border with OK so it wasn't a long travel or anything but when we arrived and set up the stage if you want to call it that we kept seeing signs that said "Go wild HogFest". So it was a music event but it was just a backdrop for an all day feral hog hunt. It was nuts, every time they brought in a new dead hog the Sheriff would blare his siren and these rednecks would throw these things off their trucks like they were nothing and these things weigh 200 - 300 lbs. Fast forward to the end of the day and this whole side of the field where this festival was taking place was piles of dead hogs. There must have been hundreds of them. One dude there told me that they could have a festival every day of the week and they would bring that many hogs in. So if anyone thinks these nasty mofos are endangered or being treated inhumanely, have your whole yard ripped to shreds once and then come back and tell me a sob about these poor animals. I've often wondered because the government won't tell us obviously but I've wondered with the wide open border how many of these illegals have been killed by a pack of feral hogs. They're just as thick in the Rio Grande valley as they are in North Texas. I know there have to be instances where that has happened. If you get caught in the open by a pack of these things you better be Usain Bolt fast and hope there's a big tree nearby or you're dead.

Not such a good idea. The trouble with pigs is trichinosis - a parasite in the flesh of pigs. It is endemic in wild pigs and will be passed on to humans that consume the contaminated flesh if it is not thoroughly cooked.

[@RyanReddell]

@@cdjhyoung that is true on all pork. You could say that for chicken with salmonella. Cattle with mad cow?

[@cdjhyoung]

@@RyanReddell No, not really. Trichinoisis in hogs needs to have a gestation period in soil to perpetuate the infection in a herd of animals. Confinement growing of pigs on concrete breaks that cycle. Virtually all commercially raised pork in the US comes from confinement operations. Salmonella in chickens is a surface riding pathogen the comes from intestinal infections in the birds. It only effects the humans as a poison if the chicken is poorly cleaned and washed and then under cooked. In mass processing, this is not an unheard of situation. But it is not in bedded in the consumed flesh like the trichinosis parasite is in hogs. Mad cow disease is little known as far as effects on humans. It has never been shown to cause health problems in humans from eating the muscle tissue of beef cows that are infected. Blended meat items - hot dogs come to mine - could have some of the infected material added from the brain cavity and that might lead to sickness in humans.

I was a cop in south Texas between Houston and Corpus Christi. Patrolled a mostly rural county. Could pretty much see feral hogs every night if I went looking. They are everywhere. Shot my share from deer stands and freely admit I only kept the smaller/younger ones to eat. Those under 100 pounds. Shot some really big boars and left them for the buzzards and coyotes. Nothing really goes to waste in nature. Most big boars have broken tusks, too. Best way to control them would be a bounty. Would actually be cheaper in the long run than to spend money on government efforts that don't work. I know where the Powderhorn Ranch is. Been to that area before.

I phoned him to let him know that I would be coming down that weekend for a couple of nights and he said not to bother as he had these other boys hunting the farm and they were paying him $100 a night and he didn't want me taking all the hogs away from the paying hunters...

Scavenging wild life probably appreciate the hog carcasses.

Other boars most likely.

Last thing needed is a more coyotes. They're another problem.

I'd seen the damage that the feral hogs do to the fields in Texas and a group of them can destroy several acres in a night. And it is devastating to the crop and the field

I honestly prefer when Joe talks about animals and scary places like the everglades.

What I find impressive is how quickly the common domestic pig reverts to its primal aggressive form after being wild for a few generations. They're dangerous and pesky, but you have to admire their resilience as survivors.

Joe definitely said “why” and not “when”, when on the topic of hogs in Hawaii. Peculiar.

[@sup3rpotato333]

I heard when. Why would he lie about that

You need to get your hearing checked. He said when, not once, but twice. It's peculiar that you would highlight that.

[@aguanilemai-mai9719]

[@kimserio8317]

those feral pigs here in Texas are so ferocious and destructive! There are some wild game hunters that DO process them and give the meat to some homeless shelters and low income communities.

[@_matt_160]

Feral hogs are no joke. Me my uncle, and my cousin were hiking in northern Michigan and stumbled up to a few just grazing in the field. Thankfully they just ran away once they saw us but was a huge surprise considering I didn’t know there were any in the state until that point.

[@VincitOmniaVeritas7]

In South America feral hogs are even larger: in late XIX, wild boars were brought from Eurasia and mixed with large domestic pigs like the Durok. That’s why you see pictures of those immense hog carcasses that won’t fit even a pickup trunk across. I’ve heard of hog as heavy as 300lb.
