I used to hunt Russian hogs with my Plott Hounds in East Tennessee...They were big boys...Anywhere from 200 to 600 lbs...
Most of the time, we would have 5-6 dogs on one hog...
Went to Texas to hunt Javelina once...They would be down in a ditch called an Arroyo...The first time we turned a couple dogs in, they were attacked by maybe 12-15 of these little hogs...We had to get our dogs to the vet...mean little SOBs, the Javelina...
Wasn’t there a war against them?
Just spent most of the summer in Oklahoma and worked with quite a few hunters.... they were telling me how huge the feral pig population is there. I gather that the population has drifted north from Texas.
