Hogs Gone Wild

Feral hogs are domestic hogs that either escaped or were released for hunting purposes.  Considered a nuisance animal, they complete with livestock and native wildlife for foot.  Their rooting and trampling can damage native habitat, fields and crops.  It's estimated there are over 1.5 million feral hogs in TX.  Use extreme caution around mothers and their young and wounded hogs.  These hogs were videotaped at the Childress High School wildlife management area.  For more info, visit this site.
