Mr Pat is 100% correct several of the larger farmers and ranchers in our area actually pay bounties on the hogs. The hogs are a real problem in our area, the hogs tear fields up almost beyond repair in some cases. There has been countless automobile accidents that were hog related, even some fatalities. The hogs run out the native deer by sharing the same resources.
I had a sweet deal for several years in Bay City area. We got paid to hunt hogs with our dogs and every piece of pork was donated to the Victory Missions. It was a win win deal for all. Hogs are truly a problem here in Texas.
