RAC, i would venture to say that something like 80% of SA now have wart-hogs. my wife bought me a book by a local professor and his wife on wild life in SA, this was for Christmas 2006. the first edition was 2000. if you see were they indicate the presence of wart-hogs are and were i have hunted them and were they are well known to be a pest, then there can be no comparison between the professors map and the real world. the reason? it is simply how their numbers exploded, it made the experts info redundant.
having said that i just received my monthly magazine from the SA Hunters and Game conservation Association, in there there are some serious questions being asked about the noticeable decrease in wart-hog numbers in the past few years. though this is not my experience. i have taken 22 wart-hogs for 2011, however none since June.
