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 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.

[@rebeiro4036]

One of our hay fields got hit super hard by huge groups of pigs one year. Well within 50-100 in a group and then we got a lot of rain and we couldn’t use the whole field for the whole growing season. They dig so deep any equipment that got near would sink. They are scary smart. If you shoot enough of a group they won’t come back to that area for up to a few years, and you can’t leave a trap in the same spot two nights in a row, they won’t fall for it twice. It’s crazy how long they remember stuff like that

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.

In my neck of the woods of Southwest Georgia we have the same issue. Not Texas size numbers but they're here, in great numbers and do widespread damage to crops as well as the environment!! It is not a new problem either. We've dealt with them on my family farm since the early 1970's. And what was said here about "once a domestic pig escapes...they become feral" is absolutely true. Our problem started locally by owners not keeping them penned up properly or others who turn them out intentionally because they can't afford to keep feeding them, it's HARD WORK or once they realize they're not making a fortune by raising them.

The hunters dressed the carcasses and they were trained to check for various types of parasites and diseases, any evidence and they'd leave the carcass.

I've known about our feral swine since 70's. The first time I ever heard feral pigs, I was camping in north texas. My native guide educated me. I'd never guessed it to be feral pigs! In '90's, I was stationed in Germany. I learned they had the same situation. I stopped at a restplatz on the autobahn. It was WC for basic uses. The pulloff area had metal fencing, wrapped in barbed wire, as a barrier between the facility and the undeveloped land around it. Locals told me it was there for public protection from wild boar & feral swine. Evidently, garbage can attract them just like bears at dumpsters. I learned about several types of wild animals considered to be public "nuisance" pests. My German neighbors warned me about how weasels are attracted to electrical wiring in machinery. I knew many whom had their auto wiring chewed up by them. I had two dogs. The best way to prevent this, was to put shedded canine fur into pantyhose and set it in the garage. We tend to regard them as cute lil ferrets in the US. There are many different species of creatures in Europe that are really creepy! There's a huge bird-like, phoenix creature, which is known to terrorize secluded farm villages. Its' screams are blood curdling from high above you, not an echo at ground level. Isn't a coyote or wild cat. A particular town I lived in, for less than a year, closes up between 9-10pm, to this day. The flying beast of erzenhausen. 😄
