About the species
Wild hogs (feral pigs, wild boar, razorbacks) are an invasive species across much of the South and increasingly the Midwest, descended from European domestic releases and Eurasian boar introductions. Populations cause significant agricultural damage and ecological disruption — rooting destroys habitat and hogs compete with native game for mast.
Hog regulations vary dramatically by state. Texas treats them as livestock-class invasives with year-round, no-limit take by any legal means including night hunting and aerial gunning. Most Southern states allow generous take with a basic hunting license. Some Northern and Western states with newer hog populations classify them as game species with limits. Hogs are challenging hunts — extremely cautious where pressured, surprisingly intelligent, and often nocturnal in heavily hunted areas.
