T.G.I.H! Thank God I'm Hunting! This week I head to Texas to help out with the nuisance hog population using a bow … and a handgun.

Keep on shooting them we as a state can afford to 100,000
because increasing at 40% per year we're playing catch-up.
The cattle market is terrible in relation to expenses deisel,
gasoline,feed,Vet bills,etc. This is the reason for trespass fees
to hunt--as a ranch mgr. & wild life biologist university trained to
post-guadrate level I understand.
The days of hunting free are now hunt with same rancher & help on vacations could & have lowered cost.

I agree. Good job killing hogs. The reason so many people have trrouble bringing one down is that they treat the shot like they were shooting a deer. The heart/lung shot is really not productive for hogs because of the organ placement in the body. The best aiming point on a hog is the ear, between the eyes or through the eye depending on how the animal is facing. A brain shot means you don't have to try to track it down.
