“hogs”

Hogs continue to spread throughout the country, doing untold amounts of property damages—leading some hunters to take to the air in a control effort.

Field Editor Brian McCombie wanted to see just what it was like to bag a few hogs from the air, Texas style. Get an inside look at this hunt with the story and video provided here.

Sid Miller, Texas Department of Agriculture (DOA) commissioner, proposed a change to the Texas Administrative Code in an attempt to control the 5 million feral hogs in the state. The destructive hogs are estimated to cause upwards of $52 million in damages a year in Texas alone, and Miller suggested using poison, specifically Kaput Feral Hog Lure, a bait mixed with the blood thinner warfarin that is normally reserved for humans but happens to be lethal to pigs.

In only the fifth fatal wild hog attack documented in the United States since 1825, a caretaker was exsanguinated by a pack of feral hogs mere feet from the front door of her destination.

After deer, hogs are Florida’s next most popular big-game quarry, and compared to most other hog states, the wild porkers are a close second.

Coyotes and feral hogs, beware. SIG Sauer rolled out its new ECHO1 Digital Thermal Imaging Reflex Sight at SHOT Show 2017, and we could have played with it on the range all day.

Be it some of their blended steel loads or pure TSS loads, Apex Ammunition offers shells that will put a hurting on turkey, waterfowl, hogs and deer with TSS shot sizes ranging from No. 9 to BB.

Wild swine are devastating property and wildlife across the country and one way to combat the threat is to employ military-like tactics such as night vision.
