Title: Fannin/Delta County Post by: elliscountyhog on January 14, 2010, 10:10:45 am Sorry if this has been posted or needs to be moved but i pulled this off another site.
Guvment is going to take the fun away from you Fanning and Delta county hunters. from another site: Delta & Fannin County Texas, The landowners of Delta and Fannin counties have received a TDA (Texas Department of Ag) and TCE (Texas Cooperative Extension) grand to eradicate all wild hogs in those two counties. Significant numbers of private landowners have signed up, many next to public areas. The exterminators have guaranteed a 70-80% reduction in total hog numbers. They will use aerial gunships, helicopters with automatic weapons, to dispatch the animals. This will significantly reduce the number of wild hogs in Delta and Fannin Counties. This will also significantly reduce the number of hogs in and around Cooper WMA and Caddo Grasslands WMA located in those counties. Aerial Gunning will begin January 18 in Fannin, and January 24 in Delta. (They WILL NOT be shooting on public lands, the WMAs) Title: Re: Fannin/Delta County Post by: kevin on January 14, 2010, 10:22:34 am 70 -80% gauranteed. Ha ha.
Govt. At work. Waste money on something people will do for free. Title: Re: Fannin/Delta County Post by: Rockin-P-Ranch on January 14, 2010, 10:25:42 am They did that same thing here in Matagorda county a few years ago at one of the big ranchs down here. All they did is shot the big ones and not so many little ones. The next year the hogs where just as thick as they have ever been. They may slow them down but they will never get them under control. All they did was smell the place up and feed the bazzards. Somebody is just trying to make a lot of money off the rachers.

Title: Re: Fannin/Delta County Post by: imthbdmn on January 14, 2010, 07:24:18 pm they tried that on a military base in ga when the hogs tore up the golf course. after hundreds of house of flying they brought in hog dogs to remove most of the hogs. the base is fenced in on three sides. took 5 years to start seeing hogs again. but the deer did go wild.

Its funny, they think the hogs are that bad around here...Ive decided just to quit hunting around here for awhile, I dont want the helicopter getting credit for hogs that are gone that I caught.
