The situation of dealing with wild hogs in Texas is proving to be a significant challenge. Wild hogs, also known as feral pigs, are causing numerous issues for both agriculture and the environment in the region. With rapid reproduction rates and the potential to damage the soil, wild hogs have become a major threat to local crops and ecosystems.
