I've never heard of them, but this is a fairly large county with some areas of private land (people and farms/ranches) in all corners. 1 pig shows up on this report for 2021. That report also shows the majority (90%+ I think) were taken on private lands, which makes sense in Cali. Look at an ownership map overlain on a watercourse map and most every low gradient watercourse is surrounded by private lands and some of the higher gradient streams too. Seeing as how water is pretty scarce here, those are the areas that got setlled/homesteaded. When I was a wildlife specialist in NM, we had them in the Lincoln Natl. Forest. Most people didn't know they were there, but people who saw them and found damage called in to report them. I ended up writing the feral hog management program for the Nation Forest Service, but was clear that there was only a limited expectation of making much difference. USDA and others did go to work on them though. It seems like you go forever without seeing any, or sign of them, and them BAM!, they explode in that area, and everyone has them at least periodically. Are the still in the Lincoln? Or did they perish from some natural means? If they get established in our forests/BLM land I can't see ever getting them eradicated barring a really intense program utilizing every method known. Just too big and too wild in places. The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni) member of the cabal of dysfunctional squirrels?

Nobody mentioned javalina but you, dumbass. The discussion is on feral hogs. Try to stay focused here... The map I posted was a 2015 USDA APHIS map. But there's an updated map too. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ou...nal-activities/feral-swine/sa-fs-history You been over every square inch of those areas in Nevada and Utah? You been damn busy. Maybe you missed a few properties? I went to Maui once and didn't see any wild hogs there... Must mean they don't exist, right?

I'm guessing 2/3 that much in BLM land in the county too. So, this part of Cali has something that's bigger than it is in TX We ain't got many pigs though Last edited by Valsdad; 02/15/24.

In Texas, any hog/pig not in a pen/pasture is considered vermin and open game. The Spanish explorers started it. Knowing they would be coming back into the same area, they released the pigs they had on their ships to reproduce and provide a food source when they returned. Sheep raisers along the Mexican border were having problems with coyotes killing their lambs. They eventually imported the true "Russian Boar" into Northern Mexico. Russians would root out entire coyote dens, eating pups and whatever else they discovered. Sadly. When they cleaned out the Mexican red wolf and the coyotes, they simply (swim? swam? swum? swimmed?) CROSSED the Rio Grande into Texas! Thanks guys! The "javelina" isn't a "hog" at all, nor it related to the swine family. It is a "peccary".
