Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I’m In Texas, Where’s The Pigs?

Take another picture......, after a quick change of your clothes

"... they are counting pigs that escaped from a farm ..."

That is the very definition of "feral hog". 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".

I think I need to make it clear just who I really am.

First, I really love myself and can’t figure out why no one agrees.
Second, I have killed massive amounts of big game, including, but not limited to 85 elk, 75 pigs, hundreds of halibut, zillions of deer and not one dink among them.
Third, I hate it when people don’t agree with me and I’m always right
Fourth, BHA and everything it stands for is good for hunting and I support it 100% and everyone that works in and for BHA as well.

I have to go take a pill right now, I will finish this thought later.

Some people actually change their clothes.........

geedubya, do you have a season, and tag system, for gators in TX?
Or has Fish & Game opened some kind of eradication program on them in certain areas?

the map is incorrect, I dunno where the heck you got it or who made it. I am very familiar with the counties shown in both nevada and utah if they are counting pigs that escaped from a farm and are no longer living ok, aint no roaming feral hogs in those areas. javalina don't count. nice try.

Goddam you are ignorant.

This map is several years old, but shows where they are in multiple states in the west with lots of public land.

every square inch of those nevada and Utah counties? Not quite but almost. I dare you to call the department of wildlife in both states and ask about feral hogs.

Look I lived in texas till my mid 20’s. The hogs are way over blown. There aren’t that many, the people that actually shot them and really hunt them are few, despite what many might claim.

Cummins, so you're actually doubling down on stupid on this subject? Just making sure.

I'm a slave to fashion, and you don't f-*k with tradition.

I'm sure the one day you get out hunting a year finds you sporting the latest hunting costume... posers are like that.
