The feral hog management program is a resource for people throughout the state of Texas and beyond who are interested in more information on feral hogs. Feral hogs are an invasive species that has dramatically increased their range in recent decades. These animals cause damage to native wildlife, natural resources, agricultural operations, and human habitations. With conflicts between humans and feral hogs on the rise, this website is designed to provide landowners and residents with the information necessary to make informed management decisions.
The website contains ecological information on feral hogs as well as information on their history and origins. When managing any invasive organism, understanding the biological background is a key component of developing a successful management strategy. The website also includes detailed information on the impacts caused by feral hogs on the landscape and some of the management strategies available.
