Topgun, thanks! Always glad to learn. My comment was made as a result of me talking with authorities in one of the four counties that have an infestation of hogs. The story I got was that there were not nearly as many hogs as the press reports. It is obvious that economics play a huge part in this hunting industry.

My comments were not meant to rate the damage hogs do or the diseases they carry. I just enjoy hunting them and eating them. Hopefully I can earn the right to post a question without the roasting..
