[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 2983054, member: 55410"] It is of our own creation, but not because of bringing in hogs for hunting. Feral hogs have been around for a very long time. As long as there have been hogs in Texas, they have been free-ranged, though that is now largely out of favor. In fact, free ranging was common world wide. My father grew up in east Texas, where he would turn out the hogs in the morning and go down to the bottoms and whistle up his hogs in the evenings. Sometimes he got more back than he turned out, sometimes less. Free ranging created all sorts of problems and we can see that feral hogs were a menace even back in the 1600s... They had to build a palisade around Jamestown, not to protect it from the Natives, but to protect it from feral hogs...
