I have a friend who has a ranch in Elgin, Texas and he has a large tank/pond that I used to go fishing in all the time. Last year he called me and said the tank was GONE, and it was. Feral hogs descended on it and you would have had to see it to believe the damage they did. It looked like someone took a back hoe to it--what used to be a beautiful place to fish was turned into nothing but dredged up mud, tons of it. No water remained--just mud. I couldn't believe my eyes. Yeah these pigs are a HUGE problem.
Have him post a place for hunters to contact him so they can set up hunts. Just ask that the hunters agree to not cause further harm to the land or leave trash. There are many hunters that would jump on this. Just a place to pitch a tent or park a RV/camper (maybe hook ups but I would charge for that) and I bet they would clear out every hog on/near his land quickly.

Need to put them on the menus of all the high end restaurants. Same with lionfish. Feral hogs are good eating, much better than venison, put a market on them.
If a pig or hog knows its going to die its adrenaline runs into the meat and ruins the taste, you have to electrocute them then cut their throat for nice tasting meat
they can give you undulant fever which can last from weeks to months. the possibility that a restaurant might not cook it to 170 degrees every single time is small. plus, cooking past 170 degree makes the meat pretty tough and less appetizing. if you cook it past 180 it can maybe be an okay food source in times of emergency, even though i wouldnt bet on it being safe 100% of the time.
When the ranches stop charging huge dollars to hunt them i can start to feel sad for what there going through. I think there is a bunch of us that will deal with problem for them and even supply our own ammo.
I’m pretty sure that if I owned a ranch I wouldn’t want just anybody running around on my land shooting things up. Having seen goats, cattle and horses shot during deer season in Maine, exercising control of your private land seems a pretty smart move. The ranchers aren’t getting rich off hog hunts, they’re trying to control their property and turn a bad thing into a not as bad thing while keeping their families and their animals safe. Ask the farmers and ranchers who aren’t charging for hog hunts and I’ll bet you can find a place to hunt hogs to your hearts content.

Y'all need to have your governor declare a free, year round, open, hunting season on feral hogs, with no limits. As to the ones who show up in urban areas? Maybe bring in some specialists and hold lots of pork roasts and/or donate the meat to some food pantries and homeless shelters. Putting it up for sale might help offset some of the costs, as well. Meat is good food!
@@VirgoCali89 ...actually laloni, militant left wing activists call out daily for the death of trump voters but i digress.... Feral hogs otherwise referred to as giant rats or tiny godzillas...monsters either way.... they can root several feet into soft soil, eating invertebrates and the bulbs and rhizomes of plants, so they’re having negative effect on the plant community as well as wildlife,” said Rob Denkhaus, natural resource manager for the city-operated Fort Worth Nature Center. “They can be predators on some wildlife species such as ground-nesting birds, reptiles and amphibians and the like,” Denkhaus said. “So their impact is far-reaching, and ALL negative.” Rick Taylor, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife biologist in Uvalde and author of the booklet “The Feral Hog in Texas,” would agree. “Feral hog activity can destabilize WETLAND AREAS, springs, and creeks by excessive rooting for food, trampling and wallowing,” Taylor said. “In addition to WETLAND HABITAT DESTRUCTION and alteration, hogs damage trees and destroy countless thousands of acres of farmland...try driving a 4wheeler after some wild pigs came thru and uprooted the field....Wild hogs are also predators at times....wild hogs prey on FAWNS, YOUNG LAMBS and BABY GOATS...If the opportunity arises, they may also destroy or consume EGGS of GROUND NESTING BIRDS, such as turkeys and quail.” these things are basically tearing up the good earth...do u hate mother earth laloni?...oh and dont let one of these things get between your child and something it wants cuz itll kill your child to get it...these cockroaches on the landscape breed like cockroaches too...they get preggo at SIX MONTHS like a cat and can litter three times a year...they are CONSTANTLY pregnant and constantly squeezing out destructive little baby beasts...too fast for us to hunt them into manageable numbers...when they make it into subdivisions thennthe fun really starts...forget having a garden or flower bed...rioters would be better for the hood than these damn things.....🤧
Laloni, unfortunately for the cute little hogs, there's no way to establish some type of hog ranch where we can release them, and let them live out the rest of their lives in heavenly bliss.
I've just read that feral hogs have been here since 1493. There are now over 6-7 MILLION of them ranging from Texas all the way north to Ohio and Michigan. I don't think we are controlling them fast enough. Need MORE hunting and other methods.
Feral hogs in suburban areas along Walnut Creek in Austin are an ongoing problem that is rapidly increasing in severity. I greatly appreciate the guidance from these videos and TPWD's valiant efforts to control the swine population. This video, in particular, addresses the very complex issue in a concise and educational format. I believe a follow-up video, in the same style, that is tailored to educate the public on safely dealing with the increasing number of suburban feral hog encounters would be welcomed and highly beneficial. Unfortunately, we still have folks who do not understand the dangers and ineffectiveness of hunting or engaging these animals in an urban or suburban setting. Many Texans are frustrated at the lack of cooperation between agencies and their current efforts to control these populations in non-rural areas. Inevitably, this frustration and lack of education will lead to some very poor choices on the part of some residents who live in close quarters with these hogs and each other. Please consider a video by TPWD that specifically highlights the potential consequences of these poor choices. Thank you for all of your tireless efforts.
Just make hunting hogs free in these areas so that others can eat them or sell to restaurants. It’s not rocket science. 🤷♀️ Why don’t these farmers catch these pigs and sell them?? If they r doing harm to crops, sell them.
Is feral hogs meat edable? If so, why is it not commercialized It could feed a lot of hungry peoples Is it because of beef meat lobbys? Or hunting lobbys? Thank you
We pay $4,000 a year to be on a lease... 52 weeks of hunting, fishing, setting around a fire... a bargain! Want to hunt? Go find 8 to 12 friends and get a lease...
One thing I think would help a lot, NO HOG LEAVES A TRAP ALIVE. This deal of trapping them and selling them to a place that does paid hunts isn't really helping a whole lot in my opinion.
I agree, over the past few weeks I have been reading and watching every bit of information on these hogs. From the way it sounds to me, Texas isn't super serious about getting rid of them and this is a money maker for them.
"Hunting is not logistically feasible in urban areas." Yeah, that's a lie. I participate in an urban archery program in Virginia that manages the size of the deer herds in public parks and the adjacent private lands. Very logistically feasible, but with the whacked out liberals in this area, it's contested constantly. But it's highly effective, and many if not most of the park hunters donate the venison to food pantries and soup kitchens.
3:34 Every effort should be made to ensure humane treatment of animals during trapping (and preparing them for the extermination process). Sounds comedy gold to me. Instead I would suggest to play Metallica "Kill 'em all" during that phase.
Indeed. An anesthesiologist should be at hand to euthanize each and every wild boar not killed on the spot by hunters and trappers. A cardiologist must also be employed to determine time of death and write out a certificate of death. Unless regulated properly, there will be unnecessary suffering to these cuddly animals. PETA and Greenpeace observers must be present during hog-hunting events to ensure compliance with the above mentioned preconditions. Long live Great Leader Joe Biden!!!
Here are the requirements for becoming a Texas Game Warden: tpwd.texas.gov/warden/recruiting-careers/requirements and here is the application process tpwd.texas.gov/warden/recruiting-careers/process
Howdy Sir As hog trapping has evolved with the advancements in technology, cell cameras and triggers. Hogs becoming trap wise. Has anyone made up-dates to the latest and best techniques for trapping wild pigs?
feral hog trap: 12v. batteries in series (assuming no access to 120v/220v power) with supercapacitor electrifying simple metal mesh say 40'x40' and corn in middle, when sounder in middle, electrify grid. Increase lethality by stringing 3 wires also electrified, spaced around perimeter of mesh grid = no escape. Could set off remotely with cell pics/video.
another one is a design challenge for MIT: autonomous RC drones with simple 2 part metal jaw to clamp and hold them, must be capable of 40mph: re-usable so you only need 20, 30 of them to tackle sounder. You could incorporate lethal injection or electrocution, but keep it simple and dispatch or bind live and toss in cage truck.
It's real hard to use electic fence on the ground, it shorts out too easily. Plus, pigs feel it under them, they don't know where to go. Half would run out. Must get whole sounder.
How is this even a problem? Texans have a lot of guns. Texans love to hunt. Hogs are a great source of food for humans. Add it up, and its basically free "organic" and "free range" food supply.
2 words, private property. If it's your property like in my families case we hunt it regularly especially out in rural areas but when you get out near the cities people start charging to hunt their land which in that case you hope the hogs tear enough shit up on their property to reconsider, which unfortunately is still just a temporary solution. Me and my family have wiped hogs out multiple times only to have new ones move back in because the neighbors couldn't be bothered and we dont always have the time to drive 2 hours out to regularly purge them either as we have personal lives to attend too. Not to mention we had to cull the coyotes because too many were born and started harassing everything but the hogs.
@@mikekean8344 yeah man, people are greedy when it comes to hunting hogs. I just shot my first one last night. Luckily where I hunt I can shoot for free. But many people charge ridiculous amount to hunt these pests.
you folks in texas are no where near serious at all about gettin control of this pig problem...you would rather be able to hunt them for hunting sake than really get rid of the problem...to everyone else its a problem..:for texans tho, its only a hunting opportunity...and i love hunting but you guys love it too much in this case of these pigs....
Actually more would rather hunt deer. There are just so many hogs and they are destructive, so why not? Plus they taste good. What's your solution? Napalm?
Not true. Here in San Antonio they have been known to attack small children, dogs, etc. I bought a twelve gauge a few days ago, hehe😋. Primarily to fire warning shots and scare them off but I’ll shoot if need be
Yeah and that's part of the problem dumb Texans like to shoot anything that moves and that's why there is no predators left to keep the pig population in check.
@@MIKE2111ful hold on now...what predators are you referring to?...what predator in texas would go after a pig?...a bear?...not many bears in texas...a cougar?...again, not alot of those either....
I saw a few of them heavy Feral Hawgs in my Trailer Park bar last night. After about 5 Jäegerbombers and a 12pk, man they sure looked nice. So they have a open season on them? They sure eat all the fast food and Nachos so I can see why.
At 2.43... As a hunter in the Czech Republic, it's the first time i see 'feral' hogs with eartags.... So they must have been caught or at least have been under control by humans once before? What's the point of turning them loose again??
They might have been domestic farm pigs that got loose. Pigs adapt very quickly to being set free so even farm pigs can look and act like wild boars not too long after being released
If things are as bad as this video has stated then it may only be a matter of time until an urban hog kills or seriously injures a human, perhaps a child. They are a very powerful animal with the means and ability to do it and will be aggressive if cornered. I hope really that doesn't happen.
Crocodiles, lions, tigers and cheetahs are natural predators of wild hogs. Maybe Texas could take initiatives to expand the population of those animals.
Lions tigers and cheetahs are out of the question for texas but introducing more crocodiles and coyotes bobcats etc. would be good but there is also the problem of ranchers and hunters killing the predators that are supposed to keep the feral hog population under control.
@@alanstevens1296 not really, not enough wildlife around. All private property and rbentually they will be a risk to the people or the livestock and ranchers and farmers will go out and kill them. And not enough land for them to roam.
Processing feral hogs could aid government food programs for the millions of immigrants coming from accross the Southern border. Utilizing feral hogs for this purpose would minimize the use of taxpayers money for feeding the multitudes of border crossers and improve Great Leader Joe Biden's raitings in NAFTA and the UN for his humanitarian accomplishments.
@port nut , California's homeless are mostly Liberals and support the border crossings. Their generosity would dictate to feed the immigrants first before themselves. Long live Great Leader Joe Biden! Jawohl Herr Kommandant!

Less talk, more action. Take a look at the Pig Brig trapping systems. Unfortunately for the cute little hogs, we don't have some type of hog ranch where we can release them, and let them live out the rest of their lives in heavenly bliss.
TPW is not serious about hunting pigs. Every park I've hunted boasts no limit, kill all you can, but wont let you hunt at night which is when they are active in most parks. Out of more than 30 parks and 7 public lands, I've seen pigs in daylight...Bastrop SP, Government Canyon and Kerr WMA.
I think the wire mesh traps have a few elemantary mistakes: 1) the whole grid should be covered with an opaque foil or with wooden plates! Otherwise the outer hogs see what the inner hogs do - and in this case don´t enter the trap. The hogs are very curious and so they enter the traps rather than otherwise. In much of the videos you see a few hogs waiting out of the trap -> and these hogs learn for their life and teach it to their youngsters. 2) The trapdoor have to operate extremely noiseless to avoid panic! 3) The trapdoor(s) should be constructed typically selfopening/ closing: So the hog have to open it by crawling through the trapdoor with it´s own willpower! Sorry for bad English! Good luck from Tom/ Austria!
Had something similar to that happen to me 6 years ago, but only I was in my old VW Jetta and the hog had been hit by another car and had it rear hind quarters shattered. It was still dark and I didn’t see it until I was on top of it. Hit the damn thing at 70-75 MPH, totaled my car.

Excellent presentation. The comments section gives valuable insight. Capture of whole sounders seem to be a viable region wide solution. Alternative methods may result in a smarter, low productive breed that can survive with humans.

The hog population isn't gonna go down until the big game ranches that offer "trophy boars" are gotten rid of as well. It incentives land owners to managing a herd instead of eradicating them or knocking them down to a acceptable number. It'll also help if more public hunting land was available to hunters wishing to go after them without having to pay expensive leases and fees for them. $25.00 for a hunting liscence and another $48.00 should be all it takes to get rid of them.
For the record. Truly shocked by the unconcerned attitude of people who should be. Wild pigs……. I live in South Africa. And have taken note of the devastation transpiring e.g. in Australia. In the US bigtime. Also in Canada. So have I emailed the leaders of quite a few Australian Farmers Organisations. Contact was made right into inner circles of the Canadian wild-, actually there, the "super pig", research-scene. In the US State of Texas, e.g., were some, really important people. Those of note. In politics. Agriculture and Wildlife as well, contacted. All emails, sent to the correct addresses. Or on the correct forums. Where required. And replied as received. I offered consultancy to eradicate large or small. Knock the problem, for six-sixes. In only one innings. Taking no prisoners. Matters which were stated include real workable answers. Although exclude any viruses or poison. For which in a hundred years or research by a thousand most brilliant people, stays poison. With no answer. No trapping. No shooting. No collaring. No birth control - how excruciatingly stupid in view of the problem? No expensive feeding systems. Most uncomplicated resolves. Actual workable solutions. Ridiculously cheaply in relation to magnitude. And, with the least physical input. Now a most alarming avenue to this present misery. Is. And proven. No interest. Not a whisper in reply. The wild boar, wild pig, super pig, Sus scrofa, whatever infestations. And accompanying annual damage. They just don't give a farthing. And as astounded as I am with the situation. It just is-what-it-is. Further more. In Texas. By authority. For instance. Is it reported to have 3,6 million wild pigs. (Might be more.) With an annual population growth of 0,32. After general predation. As stated. Simply equates to that within three years. A hundred become 230. And. 3,6M will be 8,28M. (Which to my reasoning is a bit of a long shot.) Although possible. Anyway. Australia could have 2,3M. As per 0,32 growth. 5,3M in three years. With conflicting reports available. A figure of 1,2M in Canada seems a good average. 2,75M in three years from now. If reasonably controlled there. Which I’m not certain of at all. Should there be 2,5M. Which could be. 5,75M in three years. Also. Now. Are pigs from Saskatchewan and Alberta migrating to, and infesting Montana and North Dakota. And the moral of this story. There is no urgency to reach consensus. Discussions and arguments and reports and studies and conferences and acknowledgements and denials and yeas and nays and every thinkable excuse to all the farmers and the totality of humanity why a concrete and definitive plan of action is to be ignored and averted. Authorities are not serious. Not at all. In fact. Don’t give a hog’s arse. Even about the 2,5B $ ag loss, as reported, in the US. Or skimpy loss reports reflected elsewhere. Annually. And the answer is obvious. Anton Human.
Shoot 'em! Would be nice to see some great recipes too. I'm hoping Texas will deliver some great tasting pork and feed the world. ..or maybe just me. :-)
If we gonna kill many hogs let’s not waste the meat. I’m seeing helicopters shooting these hogs and just leaving them stranded. Could be used to feed people who needs it.
Mostly their meat contains diseases and the helicopter shootings that leave the hogs is because they cant really take them and its also good as they leave the corpses and nature will take care of it, other predators can come and eat the meat.
@@RacketTattoo ok but what about third world countries. If we can provide solutions that sanitize and give it to them it’s obviously better than them having nothing to eat.

Feed them fermented corn (MASH) which slows reaction time they most likely can not react a hunter can pick more off.
Y'all need to have your governor declare a free, year round, open, hunting season on feral hogs, with no limits. As to the ones who show up in urban areas? Maybe bring in some specialists and hold lots of pork roasts and/or donate the meat to some food pantries and homeless shelters. Putting it up for sale might help offset some of the costs, as well. Meat is good food!

Feral hogs otherwise referred to as giant rats or tiny godzillas...monsters either way.... they can root several feet into soft soil, eating invertebrates and the bulbs and rhizomes of plants, so they’re having negative effect on the plant community as well as wildlife,” said Rob Denkhaus, natural resource manager for the city-operated Fort Worth Nature Center.
“They can be predators on some wildlife species such as ground-nesting birds, reptiles and amphibians and the like,” Denkhaus said. “So their impact is far-reaching, and ALL negative.”
Rick Taylor, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife biologist in Uvalde and author of the booklet “The Feral Hog in Texas,” would agree.
“Feral hog activity can destabilize WETLAND AREAS, springs, and creeks by excessive rooting for food, trampling and wallowing,” Taylor said. “In addition to WETLAND HABITAT DESTRUCTION and alteration, hogs damage trees and destroy countless thousands of acres of farmland...try driving a 4wheeler after some wild pigs came thru and uprooted the field....Wild hogs are also predators at times....wild hogs prey on FAWNS, YOUNG LAMBS and BABY GOATS...If the opportunity arises, they may also destroy or consume EGGS of GROUND NESTING BIRDS, such as turkeys and quail.”
these things are basically tearing up the good earth...do u hate mother earth laloni?...oh and dont let one of these things get between your child and something it wants cuz itll kill your child to get it...these cockroaches on the landscape breed like cockroaches too...they get preggo at SIX MONTHS like a cat and can litter three times a year...they are CONSTANTLY pregnant and constantly squeezing out destructive little baby beasts...too fast for us to hunt them into manageable numbers...when they make it into subdivisions thennthe fun really starts...forget having a garden or flower bed...rioters would be better for the hood than these damn things.....🤧
It doesn't matter how much youboove animals, a group of newlyborn turtles are better living in the habitat than death in one of those beast's stomach.
Laloni, unfortunately for the cute little hogs, there's no way to establish some type of hog ranch where we can release them, and let them live out the rest of their lives in heavenly bliss.
I am disturbed by the fact that there are hungry people while this perfect source of food is allowed to fester.
I've just read that feral hogs have been here since 1493. There are now over 6-7 MILLION of them ranging from Texas all the way north to Ohio and Michigan. I don't think we are controlling them fast enough. Need MORE hunting and other methods.
Get some wild dogs, tigers, and jaguars here.
Feral hogs in suburban areas along Walnut Creek in Austin are an ongoing problem that is rapidly increasing in severity. I greatly appreciate the guidance from these videos and TPWD's valiant efforts to control the swine population. This video, in particular, addresses the very complex issue in a concise and educational format. I believe a follow-up video, in the same style, that is tailored to educate the public on safely dealing with the increasing number of suburban feral hog encounters would be welcomed and highly beneficial. Unfortunately, we still have folks who do not understand the dangers and ineffectiveness of hunting or engaging these animals in an urban or suburban setting. Many Texans are frustrated at the lack of cooperation between agencies and their current efforts to control these populations in non-rural areas. Inevitably, this frustration and lack of education will lead to some very poor choices on the part of some residents who live in close quarters with these hogs and each other. Please consider a video by TPWD that specifically highlights the potential consequences of these poor choices. Thank you for all of your tireless efforts.
The ineffectiveness of hunting is because you are barely allowed to hunt anywhere...

Just make hunting hogs free in these areas so that others can eat them or sell to restaurants. It’s not rocket science. 🤷♀️ Why don’t these farmers catch these pigs and sell them?? If they r doing harm to crops, sell them.
Yeah. Charging money, is both stupid and counterproductive.
Wrong. Charging money is both enlightened and productive.
Great video. Everyone in the state needs to see it. Thanks for posting.
That meat costs 8-10 dollars/kilogram at my place in west papua.
If they were serious about removing hogs, they’d start paying hunters a bounty on these things.
If this is such a problem why is there so little info on TPWD website about hunting them.
Is feral hogs meat edable?
If so, why is it not commercialized
It could feed a lot of hungry peoples
Is it because of beef meat lobbys?
Or hunting lobbys?
Thank you
Not only it's edible but also tastes 10 times better than domestic, farm raised pigs
Too many diseases on, basically unfeasible to do so
Nice to have Wild Hog roast with barbecue sauce. Or Hickory smoked wild hog meat. When I had some of that boy was it good tasting or what.
We pay $4,000 a year to be on a lease... 52 weeks of hunting, fishing, setting around a fire... a bargain! Want to hunt? Go find 8 to 12 friends and get a lease...
That is a stupid amount of money to kill an invasive animal. It this were a real problem, it would be free.
One thing I think would help a lot, NO HOG LEAVES A TRAP ALIVE. This deal of trapping them and selling them to a place that does paid hunts isn't really helping a whole lot in my opinion.
I agree, over the past few weeks I have been reading and watching every bit of information on these hogs. From the way it sounds to me, Texas isn't super serious about getting rid of them and this is a money maker for them.
"Hunting is not logistically feasible in urban areas." Yeah, that's a lie. I participate in an urban archery program in Virginia that manages the size of the deer herds in public parks and the adjacent private lands. Very logistically feasible, but with the whacked out liberals in this area, it's contested constantly. But it's highly effective, and many if not most of the park hunters donate the venison to food pantries and soup kitchens.
@Costeño Salao glad for that
@@tdvprocessors764 I think they should bring in a small team and give it a try, on a small basis. They can always expand as they go.
3:34 Every effort should be made to ensure humane treatment of animals during trapping (and preparing them for the extermination process). Sounds comedy gold to me.
Instead I would suggest to play Metallica "Kill 'em all" during that phase.
There are humane kills and inhumane kills though, no reason an already trapped hog should die inhumanely(like starvation, dehydration or infection).
Indeed. An anesthesiologist should be at hand to euthanize each and every wild boar not killed on the spot by hunters and trappers. A cardiologist must also be employed to determine time of death and write out a certificate of death. Unless regulated properly, there will be unnecessary suffering to these cuddly animals. PETA and Greenpeace observers must be present during hog-hunting events to ensure compliance with the above mentioned preconditions. Long live Great Leader Joe Biden!!!
I've heard stories of private landowners in Texas importing boars from Europe to improve the breed on their property.
Then why on Texas public lands you can only hunt with a shotgun? Farmers should allow people to hunt them without trying to make money off them.
If you truly want to get rid of the wild hogs you need to not worry about constraints !!!
I would love to start a private company to help deal with it. any programs or grants
I wish.

feral hog trap: 12v. batteries in series (assuming no access to 120v/220v power) with supercapacitor electrifying simple metal mesh say 40'x40' and corn in middle, when sounder in middle, electrify grid. Increase lethality by stringing 3 wires also electrified, spaced around perimeter of mesh grid = no escape. Could set off remotely with cell pics/video.
another one is a design challenge for MIT: autonomous RC drones with simple 2 part metal jaw to clamp and hold them, must be capable of 40mph: re-usable so you only need 20, 30 of them to tackle sounder. You could incorporate lethal injection or electrocution, but keep it simple and dispatch or bind live and toss in cage truck.
It's real hard to use electic fence on the ground, it shorts out too easily. Plus, pigs feel it under them, they don't know where to go. Half would run out. Must get whole sounder.
How is this even a problem? Texans have a lot of guns. Texans love to hunt. Hogs are a great source of food for humans. Add it up, and its basically free "organic" and "free range" food supply.
2 words, private property. If it's your property like in my families case we hunt it regularly especially out in rural areas but when you get out near the cities people start charging to hunt their land which in that case you hope the hogs tear enough shit up on their property to reconsider, which unfortunately is still just a temporary solution. Me and my family have wiped hogs out multiple times only to have new ones move back in because the neighbors couldn't be bothered and we dont always have the time to drive 2 hours out to regularly purge them either as we have personal lives to attend too. Not to mention we had to cull the coyotes because too many were born and started harassing everything but the hogs.
@@BIGmlems they charge money?? What idiots! The hunter are doing them a favor, for God's sake!!!
@@mikekean8344 yeah man, people are greedy when it comes to hunting hogs. I just shot my first one last night. Luckily where I hunt I can shoot for free. But many people charge ridiculous amount to hunt these pests.

you folks in texas are no where near serious at all about gettin control of this pig problem...you would rather be able to hunt them for hunting sake than really get rid of the problem...to everyone else its a problem..:for texans tho, its only a hunting opportunity...and i love hunting but you guys love it too much in this case of these pigs....
Actually more would rather hunt deer. There are just so many hogs and they are destructive, so why not? Plus they taste good. What's your solution? Napalm?
@@thebes118 New Mexico controlled their problem. Ask your neighbors. Too arrogant?
Not true. Here in San Antonio they have been known to attack small children, dogs, etc. I bought a twelve gauge a few days ago, hehe😋. Primarily to fire warning shots and scare them off but I’ll shoot if need be
Yeah and that's part of the problem dumb Texans like to shoot anything that moves and that's why there is no predators left to keep the pig population in check.

I saw a few of them heavy Feral Hawgs in my Trailer Park bar last night. After about 5 Jäegerbombers and a 12pk, man they sure looked nice. So they have a open season on them? They sure eat all the fast food and Nachos so I can see why.
There's no closed season for hog hunting in Texas.
They are coming to AZ. Last Friday at my place! Stink to high heaven and damage everything in their path. This group was very aggressive!!!
Lets donate them to some poor countries with starving people making their death worth it
A lot of places want eat hogs.
And what about all the sickness and the worms?
Theres food banks that want take hog meat because of this.
wouldn't they make good pet food or fertilizer?
do they mostly come out at night? any videos I have seen has always been during the nighttime with thermal scopes.
Look up helicopter hog hunting. I think they try to stay inactive during hot periods, like most of us.
Won’t venomous snakes kill them?? If it managed to bite it??
This woman is crazy. Gun and rifle owners are in paradise for hunting hogs.
At 2.43... As a hunter in the Czech Republic, it's the first time i see 'feral' hogs with eartags.... So they must have been caught or at least have been under control by humans once before? What's the point of turning them loose again??
They might have been domestic farm pigs that got loose. Pigs adapt very quickly to being set free so even farm pigs can look and act like wild boars not too long after being released
If things are as bad as this video has stated then it may only be a matter of time until an urban hog kills or seriously injures a human, perhaps a child. They are a very powerful animal with the means and ability to do it and will be aggressive if cornered. I hope really that doesn't happen.
It’s already happened. Google the news stories.
Crocodiles, lions, tigers and cheetahs are natural predators of wild hogs.
Maybe Texas could take initiatives to expand the population of those animals.
Lions tigers and cheetahs are out of the question for texas but introducing more crocodiles and coyotes bobcats etc. would be good but there is also the problem of ranchers and hunters killing the predators that are supposed to keep the feral hog population under control.

Processing feral hogs could aid government food programs for the millions of immigrants coming from accross the Southern border. Utilizing feral hogs for this purpose would minimize the use of taxpayers money for feeding the multitudes of border crossers and improve Great Leader Joe Biden's raitings in NAFTA and the UN for his humanitarian accomplishments.
Good point.

TPW is not serious about hunting pigs. Every park I've hunted boasts no limit, kill all you can, but wont let you hunt at night which is when they are active in most parks. Out of more than 30 parks and 7 public lands, I've seen pigs in daylight...Bastrop SP, Government Canyon and Kerr WMA.
I think the wire mesh traps have a few elemantary mistakes:
1) the whole grid should be covered with an opaque foil or with wooden plates! Otherwise the outer hogs see what the inner hogs do - and in this case don´t enter the trap. The hogs are very curious and so they enter the traps rather than otherwise. In much of the videos you see a few hogs waiting out of the trap -> and these hogs learn for their life and teach it to their youngsters.
2) The trapdoor have to operate extremely noiseless to avoid panic!
3) The trapdoor(s) should be constructed typically selfopening/ closing: So the hog have to open it by crawling through the trapdoor with it´s own willpower!
Sorry for bad English! Good luck from Tom/ Austria!

The hog population isn't gonna go down until the big game ranches that offer "trophy boars" are gotten rid of as well. It incentives land owners to managing a herd instead of eradicating them or knocking them down to a acceptable number.
It'll also help if more public hunting land was available to hunters wishing to go after them without having to pay expensive leases and fees for them.
$25.00 for a hunting liscence and another $48.00 should be all it takes to get rid of them.

Wild pigs…….
I live in South Africa. And have taken note of the devastation transpiring e.g. in Australia. In the US bigtime. Also in Canada.
So have I emailed the leaders of quite a few Australian Farmers Organisations.
Contact was made right into inner circles of the Canadian wild-, actually there, the "super pig", research-scene.
In the US State of Texas, e.g., were some, really important people. Those of note. In politics. Agriculture and Wildlife as well, contacted.
All emails, sent to the correct addresses. Or on the correct forums. Where required. And replied as received.
I offered consultancy to eradicate large or small. Knock the problem, for six-sixes. In only one innings. Taking no prisoners.
Matters which were stated include real workable answers. Although exclude any viruses or poison. For which in a hundred years or research by a thousand most brilliant people, stays poison. With no answer. No trapping. No shooting. No collaring. No birth control - how excruciatingly stupid in view of the problem? No expensive feeding systems. Most uncomplicated resolves. Actual workable solutions.
Ridiculously cheaply in relation to magnitude. And, with the least physical input.
Now a most alarming avenue to this present misery. Is. And proven.
No interest. Not a whisper in reply.
The wild boar, wild pig, super pig, Sus scrofa, whatever infestations. And accompanying annual damage.
They just don't give a farthing.
And as astounded as I am with the situation. It just is-what-it-is.
Further more.
In Texas. By authority. For instance. Is it reported to have 3,6 million wild pigs. (Might be more.) With an annual population growth of 0,32. After general predation. As stated. Simply equates to that within three years. A hundred become 230. And. 3,6M will be 8,28M. (Which to my reasoning is a bit of a long shot.) Although possible. Anyway.
Australia could have 2,3M. As per 0,32 growth. 5,3M in three years.
With conflicting reports available. A figure of 1,2M in Canada seems a good average. 2,75M in three years from now. If reasonably controlled there. Which I’m not certain of at all.
Should there be 2,5M. Which could be. 5,75M in three years. Also. Now. Are pigs from Saskatchewan and Alberta migrating to, and infesting Montana and North Dakota.
And the moral of this story.
There is no urgency to reach consensus.
Discussions and arguments and reports and studies and conferences and acknowledgements and denials and yeas and nays and every thinkable excuse to all the farmers and the totality of humanity why a concrete and definitive plan of action is to be ignored and averted.
Authorities are not serious. Not at all. In fact. Don’t give a hog’s arse. Even about the 2,5B $ ag loss, as reported, in the US. Or skimpy loss reports reflected elsewhere. Annually.
And the answer is obvious.

If we gonna kill many hogs let’s not waste the meat. I’m seeing helicopters shooting these hogs and just leaving them stranded. Could be used to feed people who needs it.
Mostly their meat contains diseases and the helicopter shootings that leave the hogs is because they cant really take them and its also good as they leave the corpses and nature will take care of it, other predators can come and eat the meat.
