A recent analysis found feral hogs have been spotted in 29 Kansas counties . Now, the state has a group focused specifically on the eradication of wild swine in the state. Captain Experiences says Kansas was number 16 on the list, with 101 sightings in 29 counties. The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports the species cause $2.5 billion in damages every year , mainly due to rooting and trampling land, eating crops and more. How do you stop them? Remember last week when rock icon Ted Nugent told us:
He was right. The USDA says helicopters out of Oklahoma are being used for an aerial gunning program that runs for one week each in January, February, March and after deer season ends. The goal of the helicopter is to push them out of the brush of trees into the nearest open field or pasture or whatever and work on them out in the open, if you spot a feral pig on your property, they urge you to call the USDA so they can remove them…don’t call Uncle Ted first.
