“Deer and turkey eat much of the same things hogs eat.”

Deer and Turkey don’y eat decaying carcasses and cow and horse feces. The back roads of south Texas are a buffet of roadkill just waiting for the hog’s to clean up.

Despite taking millions of casualties - an estimated 750,000-plus feral hogs have been killed
each of the past few years in Texas - the non-native pigs have continued their economically and
environmentally destructive march across the state, with an estimated 2.6 million of them spread
across at least 240 of Texas’ 254 counties.
