If you have land that you hunt own and you do not have hogs on it just be ready because with the exploding population of hogs today they will be there sooner or later. On your property on the Big Black River in Attala County we have hogs. We have had the place for 5 years now and at first the hog population was not high at all. We hardly ever got trail camera pictures of them and much less even saw one. Well that has changed a lot over the last few years. They have exploded in population numbers. So far this deer season, which has been open for 16 days, we have seen more hogs than we have in the past 4 years. Every chance we get we shoot one. I killed a pretty big sow the other day with my bow. She weighed 160 pounds. Our biologist told me that a hog population can increase by 80% in just one year. That is insane!! So if you start to see them do not hesitate on shooting. They cause millions of dollars in crop damage each year and do a lot of damage to your deer food plots. Shoot them when you get the chance.
