Have been following the introduction of the Russian Boar to the US and the resulting problems. We have always had wild hogs here due to farmers loosing some over the years and making families on their own in the wild. But the Russian intro produces a different critter and not to take lightly.
We have had Javalina (a Peccary hog) in SW TX for as long as I can remember and although they are a problem when challenged, don't hear much about them. They are a hunting sport and remain somewhat small at around 60# on the hoof. They do have a mean set of tusks that can hurt you. They seem to like the arid regions of the state.
We are starting to get some of the previously mentioned hogs around here but mainly confine themselves to the creek bottoms and you seldom see or encounter them. None of the 400#+ they report in the SE USA....yet!!!!
Texas Parks and Wildlife (the game warden) says that they are open season with no limit and explains what and why they need controlling......a heads up for farmers and folks that frequent remote places where the reside...personal safety.
We have a new lake going in about 25 miles up the road and that bottom is full of them as reported by locals that like to hunt. Expect problems here when they are run out by rising water.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
