Every property I have ever set foot on that had a huntable population of hogs had a very high number of deer. Turkeys numbers didnt seem to be affected either.


Not only this....but most of the time the property has THE most premier hunting, though grossly exclusive, in the entire area!
The fact that the property has a big population of hogs has almost NO bearing on anyone except that property's immediate neighbors. Many people drive right by these places on a regular basis and have no idea that there are even hogs there!!!

But, what do I know?
I have only been hunting them about 30+ yrs.......
I don't get all those fancy magazines and news articles detailing the mass destruction of the State by feral hogs!
