1 Population Dynamics and Distribution of Feral Hogs Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Jim Gallagher Wildlife Specialist Uvalde, Texas Improving Lives. Improving Texas. FERAL HOG EXPANSION U.S. counties had feral hogs ,042 U.S. counties had feral hogs Increase of 125%!!! 39 states and 4 Canadian Provinces as of 2006 How Did We Get So Many So Fast? Generalist Ominivores Intelligent Indiscriminant stockings Supplementally Fed High reproductive rates Fecundity (Reproductive potential) Most prolific large, wild mammal in North America E l t it Early maturity Short gestation Large litters The average litter size may be 3 to 4 pigs, but 8 survive. - D. Whitehouse 1
2 Sexual maturity Gestation period Eurasian Wild Hog 7-9 months (female) months (male) days Feral Hog 6-8 months (female) 9-12 months (male) days Domestic Hog 5-7 months (female) 8-10 months (male) days Weaning age 5-6 months 4-5 months 3-4 months Litter size Litters per year

4 Breeding Potential versus Population Control Feral Hog Update Population reduced by 70% will rebound within 2.5 years Population reduced by 95% will rebound in less than 5 years!!! 4
5 2/21/ Whole Best Guess Scenario 1 million to 2.74 mill. In 5 yrs Best Case Scenario 1 million to 7.6 million in 5 years Worst Case Scenario 1 million to 0.65 million in 5 years 5
6 on average, feral pigs consumed 4.2 lbs more of the bait without flavoring compared to that t with strawberry flavoring treatments with diphacinone were ineffective in controlling feral pigs, whereas treatments with warfarin were more effective test showed that a pig specific feeder will be needed for any toxicant used 6

9 Feral Hog Control 2008 Medina County Dryland Yellow Corn July 21, 2008 Barbed Wire Fence This requires multiple strands of barbed wire with at least 7 strands of high tensile 4pt barbed wire 14g or 15½g high tensile barbed wire should be used since barbed wire will not stretch or sag under pressure. 12½g standard barbed wire can not withstand pressure and will stretch and sag resulting in feral hogs slipping between or under the strand of barbed wire Placed first strand at ground level and 5 on center for next 30 Post spacings should not exceed 10 to 12 feet This fence is costly to install but would control feral hogs from entering crop land Fixed Knot Fence This is only fence that can deter feral hogs from entering crop area Fixed knot utilizes solid vertical stay wires, which increase the vertical strength th of the fence and allow for increased post spacing. Standard post spacing should be no closer than 20 on centers and can be up to 30 on centers with use of all pipe or wood for posts. The knot is a separate piece of wire tightly wrapped around the line wire and stay wire Fixed knot is very resistant to animal damage. For added security should add a strand of 4pt high tensile barbed wire at ground level to prevent any rooting by aggressive feral hogs FIXED KNOT FENCE PLUS TOP & BOTTOM STRAND OF PREDATOR WIRE 9

Pigs Under Pressure: Evaluation of Fences for Containing Motivated Feral Swine During Depopulation Michael Lavelle Kurt VerCauteren Justin Fischer Gregory Phillips Trevor Hefley Scott Hygnstrom Seth Swafford David Long Objective: Evaluate means to quickly and effectively contain feral pigs during disease outbreak evaluated 5 candidate fences selected 34 inch hog panel for extensive testing pigs confined in 164 x 246 ft pens for 4-14 days subjected to progressive levels of motivation: 1. minimal disturbance 2. pursuit by humans with paintball guns 3. pursuit by gunners in helicopter 11
12 Results 97% successful (minimal disturbance) 83% successful (paintball gunners) 100% successful (helicopter gunners) 1 of 6 pigs escaped during 14 day trials Hog panel exclosures relatively inexpensive: 5.26 per yard (excluding labor). 12
