[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 2955432, member: 24452"] When I was growing up in east Texas in the 70's and 80's, there were no hogs, and when my parents moved to their new place in the early 90's, there were no hogs. In 1998, we started seeing signs, and my brother and I trapped our first group (3 sows in the trap with boar "hanging around" outside it). We killed them all, and the signs disappeared. When the guy that hunted beside our place heard we killed the pigs, he got majorly pissed, and rumor was that he had turned the pigs out to have something to hunt in the off season. I tell this story to say hogs will NEVER be eradicated, because there are dumbasses like that guy who turn them out. The other problem (in east TX) is that dog hunters aren't killing the hogs they catch. They are castrating the boar and notching ears on sows and turning them loose to be able to hunt them again.
