[QUOTE="blackbrush, post: 219679, member: 11280"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]There is something wrong with this posting/subject…there are not enough people shooting these feral hogs!!!! This post runs for several years and as of late Texas is spending taxpayers money to hopefully minimize the risk of spreading disease by transporting feral hogs for slaughter, etc. I believe the amount was in the millions (…who cares?
