Texas turns to Ted Nugent to control feral pig epidemic

In danger of being overrun by feral hogs, Texas is enlisting the help of rock ‘n’ roll
legend and noted hunter Ted Nugent.

As part of the Sportsman Channel’s “Aporkalypse: 2013” series — set for Aug. 25 and
described as “an entire night of wild hog stories and adventures” — Mr. Nugent will join
Brian “Pig Man” Quaca to shoot dead nearly 500 wild pigs on the farmlands of Texas.

The pig hunt will be part of an episode of Mr. Quaca’s show, “Pig Man: The Series.”
The duo will hunt from the air, flying above hog-infested fields in a helicopter.

While the term “Aporkalypse” may inspire a laugh, Texas officials say the problem of
feral pigs has reached critical mass.
