FERAL HOGS, HISTORY KEEPER & GOING TO GARNER

Hogs Wild   
The threat of feral hogs to Texas agriculture and ecology looms large.  Hunters and trappers have long aided landowners in keeping wild pig populations in check, but the problem may be growing too fast for traditional means to stop.  To provide another tool for farmers and ranchers, research is being conducted that could offer a new kind of protection from this feral pig plague.
