There is one huge problem here in OK: Slobs are still releasing hogs into the wild. Recently there was a case in Beaver county where a guy brought in diseased wild hogs from eastern OK. Beaver county has very few, if any, wild hogs. That guy was also staging hog vs dog fights.

Feral hogs are in the domain of the OK Dep't of Agriculture; not the game warden. They are having one hell of a time enforcing OK law as pertains to wild hogs.

Several years ago some guy trapped 200-300 wild hogs and had them in a big enclosure west of the wildlife refuge. Someone called the OK Dep't of agriculture: OK Ag came and tested those hogs and found nearly every hog disease known to man. Result: The guy stopped feeding and watering the hogs. Hogs were starving and dying until the neighbors cut the fences and released the hogs.

i own hunting properties on both sides of I-35. There were no hogs on either of those places until a hog hunting "ranch" opened shop. That guy claimed to have 10,000 acres of land leased for his hunters. In fact he had no land leased. He simply released hogs all over the place: Then turned his hunters loose to trespass on private lands, including mine.

i hope the OK legislature hangs tough on this one.
