The state of Texas has the largest population of wild feral hogs estimated to be about 3,000,000. Feral hogs are very destructive to agriculture and private property due to their ability to root up freshly planted crops and invade and destroy lawns and golf courses in one night. The only successful way to control their population is by trapping them. Hunting them is an ineffective way of controlling their population. The female hog is very dangerous to approach if she has piglets.
