Unfortunately the hog problem in our state is going to get worse if the LDWF and legislature don't get drastic. One of the problems is the pigs' reproductive rate, its astronomical. Another problem is the practice of some "hog hunters" relocating pigs. It spreads disease and increases the chances of them spreading to areas that have never really had them before. Deer can't compete with hogs for food, a hog can eat everything a deer eats and a ton o stuff that a deer won't eat. I know there's quite a few who'll argue with me about all this, but I'll be keeping a shoot on sight policy as far as hogs are concerned. Good luck in your pursuit of nusaince animals. We have more deer in Louisiana than ever before, I'd like to keep it that way.
