    FACTS ABOUT FERAL HOGS
    • Feral hogs are capable of breeding at six months of age but eight to ten months is normal, provided there is good nutrition. Under poor habitat conditions, sows have been known to eat their young. Gestation is around 115 days with an average litter size of four to six, but under good conditions may have ten to twelve youngsters. While capable of producing two litters per year, research has shown the majority of sows have only one per year. Baby hogs may be born throughout the year with peak production in the early spring. The young hogs are born with a 1:1 male to female sex ratio. Feral hogs generally travel in family groups called sounders, comprised normally of two sows and their young. Mature boars are usually solitary, only joining a herd to breed.

    • Wild hogs are among the most destructive invasive species in the United States today! Two million to six million of the animals are wreaking havoc in at least 39 states and four Canadian provinces; half are in Texas, where they do some $400 million in damages annually. There are now around 2.6 million hogs in Texas, more than anywhere else in the United States. Their foraging causes about $52 million in annual agricultural damage.
    • We have more than 60 species free ranging on over 18,000 acres of Texas Hill Country.
    • We also have the largest herds of Axis deer, Blackbuck and Scimitar Horned Oryx in Texas.
