I was thinking today.
Why are there not more wild hogs running around?
They start reproducing at at young age.
They have rather large litters.
After they are just a few months I don't hear they have many predators.
Deer numbers stay pretty high and that's with us killing half the population each year. I'm sure we don't come close to killing half the pigs every year.
I kind of look at pigs like feral cats, unless there is a big kill off or you trap and spay/neuter the population explodes in a very short time.
I don't live in hog country but it seems like they would keep moving into new areas in search of food. Like Coyotes and armadillos.
