This has been discussed on here some before. The Smithsonian for Jan 2011 has an article on wild hogs, with a map showing growth in infestation from 1982 to 2010. Surprisingly, almost all of CA has wild hogs except the extreme Southeastern desert areas.TX has the most. The upper Great Plains and the Midwest are not so thickly populated but oddly enough MI has them all over the state including the UP. The article says that Canada has some also.
Hogs have no natural predators and there are no legal poisons to use.There are 2 million to 6 million of them and in TX they do $400 million in damages yearly.
