Why do we hunt hogs?


According to the Texas A&M, Feral hogs in Texas, cause approximately $52 million dollars in damage each year , with a population at or around 2.6 million. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, feral hogs are estimated to cause between $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion of damage a year, across the U.S.

Feral hogs are omnivores and will eat ANYTHING available. They  cause damage to the agricultural crops, prey on wildlife, domestic animals, and farm animals, destroy and deplete natural landscape/ food sources, cause damage to water ways (man made and natural), spread disease, and destroy/damage fences and private property such as residential and commercial.

Not only do feral hogs have large numbers and will destroy or consume anything around them, but they also reproduce at a rapid rate. According to the Smithsonian, A singe female hog (called a Sow) is able to reproduce as young as eight months old, and a Sow is able to produce up to two litters a year with up to twelve piglets in each litter.

With this in mind, it is imperative that the feral hogs population be controlled (if not eradicated) on a regular basis. Currently the only means of accomplishing this is by traditional hunting, trapping, and/or the use of specially trained dogs. Due to hogs keen sense of smell and hearing along with their surprising level of intelligence, each one of the these methods presents their obstacles to be considered. 


Central Texas Warriors believes a successful hunt not only alleviates the damage caused by feral hogs, but also provides a tasteful and sustainable source of meat when harvested. The  average adult feral hog weighs in the ballpark of 150 to 180 pounds, which means there is potentially 100 to 130 pounds of useable meat on an average hog. 

Central Texas Warriors has chosen to use traditional hunting techniques combined with the most recent advances in technology in order to provide the highest success rate in locating, harvesting/dispatching, and recovering feral hogs.
