Is it true?
 

If there is one hog on your land there are a bunch more? Cause that is what i am hearing from surround neighbors!! I just wanted to ask all the hog fanatics on here cause i know they would know!

Ive found it to be true. They are rather prolific. A sow can start having pigglets in a matter of months after birth. I think either just before a year old, or a little after on year of age. They can also have two litters a year, and litters up to 16 pigglets. On my land they are everywhere. Out at my lake cabin, there use to be no signs what so ever of hogs. In the last 9 years I started seeing signs of them and now the lake is eat up with them as well.

Well, in close to 50yrs of hog hunting, I have never seen a Roque Hog.:)

Probably but do you see a lot of sign?

Here in Texas there are two types of land owners. Those who have hogs and those who will have hogs!
Several years ago I read a report on the hog population in Texas. At that time it was est. that there were over 3,000,000,000 wild hogs in this state alone. This report came from the Texas Parks and Wildlife department.

I think your memoray may be a little faulty... 3 Billion is a LOT of pork! There wouldn't be room for people...

Here's a link to an article at the TPWD website that estimates 1.5 Million.
