We have killed 60 in a month. Its sad when we get a whole litter in a trap and have to kill them all but if we dont they grow and have more. I just wish there was more we could do with the meat. At this point we just kill them and bury them. East Texas is looking into a birth control for them but it has problems. We have the teens come and do hog hunts and they will kill a few but never enough to solve the problem. |
They reach sexual maturity within weeks of being born and reproduce so quickly. I have seen the damage you are talking about, they cause $$$$$ in property repair and vet bills for injured cattle. This year has been a wet one here and we are seeing so many already.
