Untamed Porkers

I saw a crazy TV show the other night on my dish network Cleveland. I believe it was on TLC and it was a crazy show about wild pigs! Then, today, I read this crazy article about how wild hogs are having a HUGE impact on Texas agriculture.  No seriously, Pulaski County is seeing a rise in the number of feral pigs in the last few months, and these piggies are wreaking havoc.  They are eating crops and eating up all of the food for other outdoor critters like deer, squirrels, and turkeys.

I know I haven’t seen any of these guys running around, but word is that they run rampant at nights because it is cooler.  The hogs cannot be hunted at night though, only during the day.  Pig hunting  season never closes, so if these wild pigs are spotted they can be shot.  Many residents have been spotting them and calling in complaints.

Of course, Pulaski County is not he only place experiencing a rise in feral hogs.  There are many cities across the United States that are losing crops, food supplies for deer, and creating messes on ranches.  Here is some footage from other feral pig cases.

In Texas they do not play when it comes to hunting these porkers. The dogs come out and all to help reduce the wild pig population in the area that can cause serious troubles.
Georgia farmers feel like they are fighting a losing battle when it comes to the surplus of feral hogs in there area.
