Looks like another state is getting serious about wild hogs. The state of OK has never got it right despite the fact that the southern part of the state is totally over-run with wild hogs.

i've trapped and shot over 35 wild hogs off one 160 acre place since December. Was nice to go there last weekend and not find one hog track after the recent rain. Deer tracks were all over the place for a change.

i'll not let a hog lay and rot. They all go to someone who wants hog meat. It's a lot of work to field dress and skin hogs but its worth it. Wild hogs do not have three litters in one year. Some wild sows do not even breed until they are over two years old. The vast majority of sows have only one litter per year. Litters range in size from 4 to 12 pigs. If the sow raises half of her pigs to 40 pounds she has done a good job: Coyotes and bobcats get a lot of pigs.

If hoof and mouth disease ever breaks out in LA, OK and TX the cattle industry will be ruined because the disease will be quickly spread by wild hogs.
