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

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.

Put a $100 bounty on hog heads, the problem WILL go away.

If the state tries to manage the problem, they will spend several times this amount per dead hog.
