Wild hogs are among some of the most destructive invasive species and even feast on whitetail deer.
A picture has surface on Facebook of a wild hog holding a dead fawn in the clasps of its mouth. Feral hogs have been causing serious environmental issues across many southern states. According to the Smithsonian in 2011, hogs are doing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage.
Are wild hogs a culprit for a decrease in deer harvest numbers in some states? These pictures certainly give the allusion that it’s possible. Read the rest of the wild hogs story here.
Hogs eat ANYTHING!
Yep.
$25 bounty a head will thin their existence.
The word they were looking for
is “illusion,” not “allusion.”
You best me too it. Yes hogs eat anything!
If they can catch them.
Hogs will eat anything that does not kill and eat them first.
Typo......best=beat.
Only if land owners well give you permission to hunt them.

At the rate they breed, that would barely make dent...
The flood this past week flushed wild hogs out in my neighborhood. I was surprised to find them so close to the house since I hadn’t seen any signs before this.
what a heartbreaking picture.
if cottonball saw it, she wouldn’t sleep for two days.
poor little critter.
In TX javelina packs have treed many hunters, shredded and eaten the dogs until about 20 years ago. I guess the feral hogs have eaten all the javelinas. Ask any farmer, they won’t turn their backs on their own hand-frd long-domesticated pigs.
Round ‘em up,
Move ‘em out,
And air-drop them on ISIS.
Wild hogs are dangerous and destructive. They breed like rabbits, but the reason they are out of control is because complaining property owners don’t want hunters on their land or someone charges an arm and a leg to hunt them.
I am a Texan, my husband is a rancher and we have hogs on our place. When I was a small child and we would visit my mother’s relatives in east Texas, I never got to go out side alone because they said the hogs would kill me and eat me.
