I remember back in the 1960's when the only hogs close to me were around college port area and down further South Texas...and in the mid to late 1960's thru the 1970's there were advertisements in the Field and Stream and the Outdoor Life magazines...FERAL HOGS FOR SALE...stock up your ranches so you can have them to shoot besides just shooting deer... well out where I used to live it is now full of hogs and more hogs just about anywhere in TEXAS and everywhere else across the states...
I have seen some serious damage by hogs on hay fields, corn and maize fields...I also have seen where they run the deer out of certain areas...they eat the acorn and pecan crops as well so they are in direct competition with other wildlife as well...
but I love to hunt them with dogs...
