Publication: Feral Hogs in Texas

A report on feral hogs in Texas (USA) can be found at:

www.icwdm.org/Publications/pdf/Feral%20Pig/Txferalhogs.pdf

From the Introduction:

Texas is home to an estimated 2 million feral hogs (Sus scrofa), about
50 percent of all the feral hogs in the U.S. From the panhandle to the
Gulf coast, from the arid southwest to the eastern pineywoods, feral
hogs may be found in nearly every Texas county. The population and range of feral hogs have expanded dramatically because they are extremely adaptable animals with a high reproductive rate.
Relocation by hunters, disease control in domestic animals, the management of rangelands, and habitat improvements made for livestock and wildlife also have helped feral hogs. Hogs are prized by hunters but despised by landowners who suffer from their damage.


This essentially anti-hog report report focuses on control (warning: some pics of dead hogs) ... but contains some good photos and info on the animals and their biology.

FWIW.
