Texas is an oddity as far as hogs go. Seems to be a two edged sword with their problem. It is a BIG industry and a BIG pain in the neck, from what I have heard. I have followed it some on the net. Some want them gone, some want them there for the sport and money it brings in.

Paul, what I was talking about wasn't necessarily the feral hogs of Texas. There are lots of folks that go to ranches, even in Texas, where they raise Russian boar for sport. Some folks are talking about what they need to take those and they are much different than the normal feral pig.

A domestic pig can become completely feral in a very short time, months if I remember correctly. Then, with litters upwards of 6 to 8, can propagate pretty quickly. Like I said earlier though, being humane is a big point with me. I want enough gun to take one cleanly. This really depends on your skill level, hunting abilities and basic competency with your firearm.
