Feral Hog Facts & Information
Fact #1 Reproduction of Feral Hogs
Feral hogs are capable of breeding at six months of age but eight to ten months is normal, provided there is good nutrition. Under poor habitat conditions, sows have been known to eat their young. Gestation is around 115 days with an average litter size of four to six, but under good conditions may have ten to twelve young. While capable of producing two litters per year, research has shown the majority of sows have only one per year. Young may be born throughout the year with peak production in the early spring. The young are born with a 1:1 male to female sex ratio. Feral hogs generally travel in family groups called sounders, comprised normally of two sows and their young. Mature boars are usually solitary, only joining a herd to breed. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/nuisance/feral_hogs/ |
Fact #2What you should know about Feral Hogs in Texas... And what we plan to do about it...
Wild hogs are among the most destructive invasive species in the United States today. Two million to six million of the animals are wreaking havoc in at least 39 states and four Canadian provinces; half are in Texas, where they do some $400 million in damages annually. There are now around 2.6 million hogs in Texas, more than anywhere else in the United States. Their foraging causes about $52 million in annual agricultural damage. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-plague-of-pigs-in-texas-73769069/ |
Blog Information about Helicopter Hog Hunting
Aerial Hunting
With proper permits and licenses, aerial hunting is a legal method of controlling feral hogs in Texas. Most aerial hunting is done with helicopters. There must be an experienced pilot and a capable gunner. Aerial hunting can stop a damage problem quickly and is very highly selective because only tageted animals are killed. Aerial hunting also can be used in areas that are inaccessible to other management methods. Depending on the amount of damage hogs are causing, the benefits of an aerial hunt can far outweigh the costs. Like all other control methods, aerial hunting does have limitations. Rough terrain, poor weather, heavy cover, high cost, and the inherent hazards of low-level flight are all factors to consider.

Shooting Feral Hogs
Hogs can be shot when the opportunity arises, but this usually will not reduce the population to a great extent. Ground shooting might be effective if it is intensive and if the hog population is small. Current Texas law does not require a landowner or landowner's agent or lessee to have a hunting license if feral hogs are damaging the landowner's property. Feral hog hunt- ing has become popular in Texas and generates income for many landown- ers. Feral hog hunting can take place year-round, but most hunters take feral hogs incidental to deer hunting.
Hunting techniques for feral hog are essentially the same as those for white-tailed deer. Stand hunting or still hunting can be conducted in baited areas or in areas with abundant fresh hog sign. As feral hogs are attracted to supplemental feeding sites and deer feeders, these can be prime areas for hunting feral hogs. However, feral hogs are very intelligent and can be a challenging foe. Intensive hunting may cause feral hogs to shift their home range or become more nocturnal. When this happens, hogs can be hunted at night using a spotlight with a red filter. Contact the local game warden for permission first, because there are laws regarding the use of a spotlight.
Trained dogs can be used to locate individual hogs or small groups of hogs. In fact, using dogs to trail and bay hogs is a hunting method that has been around for many years. Success will depend on the experience of the dogs and the hunter. Most hunters use tracking dogs to find and bay hogs, while relying on catch dogs to hold hogs once bayed. This method should be used only by skilled hunters with well-trained dogs. Tragically, the major dis- advantage to this technique is that dogs are often injured or killed by hogs. https://wildpigs.nri.tamu.edu/media/1183/b-6149-feral-hogs-in-texas.pdf

Is There Value in Wild Pigs?
In Texas, there is no hunting season or bag limit for wild pigs and they can legally be pursued at night on private property. Regulated as exotic animals by Texas Parks and Wildlife, these laws are intended to aid in the reduction of wild pig populations currently estimated from 3-5 million in Texas. Often referred to as “the poor man’s grizzly bear,” wild pigs offer an affordable hunt. Recognize the double-edged sword here, as some people may place positive value on wild pigs, but they may fall short of seeing the growing agricultural and conservation damage caused by this invasive species.
