Florida might have a "mere" ESTIMATED hog population of about 500k - but superimpose Florida within the State of Texas. Florida, about a quarter of the size of Texas, has a big hog problem considering it's land area.No whining here....just trying to keep things factual. To that end....you will note that Texas has many times the population of feral hogs that Florida does. (1.5 to 2.6 million depending on which study you choose). Florida...a bit over 500k. Annual harvest in Texas in excess of 750,000. More than the entire estimated population of your State. So I'd say we are in fact 'killing' them.
So rather than continue to post mis-information (through willful ignorance), just study a bit (please).
Now..I do have a couple of questions for you.
1. Is it common practice in your Great State (Florida) for private Land Owners to allow the public to come in and kill/control their hogs?
2. If the answer is yes to question # 1....then how do you reconcile the supposed effectiveness of this method with the increasing population of hogs in your State?
