I have seen less in Central Texas this year which is said to be because of the drought creating smaaler sounders. Biologist also said that coyotes have been affected too because their normal prey like deer and small animals have suffered losses. On these moonlit nights the coyotes are still pretty vocal so I wonder if the biologist was wrong.

Just about the time I get all damage repaired the bastages come back and hit again. I've counted as many as 50 on my place.

I am pretty lucky that on my west fence there is a 6,000 ac. lease and probably 20% of the members have hog dogs and they keep the numbers down and the hogs moved out. I see a little sign now and then but haven't seen a pig on this place for over 10 years.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

There needs to be some professional control done statewide. They had a poison to use on them but there were some issues with it being spread to other animals. I'm thinking if we can miraculously come up with a COVID vaccine in a year, surely we can fins a magic potion for the porcine population. Poisons aren’t selective in what they kill. That’s the problem. Some other animal will get into it and die, so you can’t control, say, a protected or endangered species from eating it. Then, birds will eat the carcass and die from the poison. Poison has too many possible negative side effects to be used.

Those SOBs don’t cooperate real well on my lease. I shoot them in the face for eating corn, and 10 more show up.
