A mature male is a Boar. A mature female is a Sow. A castrated male is a Barrow. A pig is an immature hog. A guilt is an immature female. A shoat is a weaned hog. In the US female hogs are not called Boars. Good video.
@@scottloar Yes, and that's a very interesting fact. thanks. And Sounders "bed down" together during the daylight hours in shallow dirt depressions the individuals root in dense brushy "safe" areas usually dark and covered with briars. And when the pregnant sow prepares to farrow (have her pigs) she'll make a "nest" under a fallen tree top or very dense Yaupon bushes usually covered with briar. She'll carry dead grasses and straw in her mouth to line the depression for as many as a dozen stripped piglets. Amazing animals. Almost perfectly designed. Their weaknesses are poor A/C systems - they need water to cool themselves often. They don't jump as well as other animals. They have fairly good eyesight but don't use their vision well, because they rely so much on their acute hearing and sense of smell. But very smart and cautious. Smart a dogs.
@@chipkyle5428 All true. Because swine easily become overheated and their skin sensitive they must cool off, thus the typical image of a pig wallowing in a mudhole. In truth they are no dirtier than most animals in the wild although their poop smells to high heaven, only out-stunk (is that a word?) by humans'.
Yeah. You're right. But the conversation usually goes like this: Farmers: We need help in dealing with these hogs that are digging up our fields and destroying our crops. Hunters: Hey, we can come to your farm and shoot the hogs that are destroying your fields, crops, and livelihood. Farmers: Oh, thank you so much! I appreciate it. It'll cost you five hundred dollars per person. Hunters: Fuck your fields, then. I'm trying to do you a favor. This conversation repeats, ad nauseam.
The failure to control wild boars can have serious consequences for US agriculture, as they can cause significant damage to crops and other agricultural resources.
This is a problem right up our alley. We could make them go extinct in a year if we put our minds to it. I understand they are good to eat, too. So, where are the mighty hunters?
@@willempasterkamp862 Many ranchers and farmers do pay hunters/trappers and allow sportsman free access to hunt with dogs or night vision equipment, Many captured hogs are sold for meat and sports hunting. but still the population of wild hogs remains a serious problem.
Boar usually is the male pig !! Most wild pigs are mostly grain fed in the wild , saves on fencing , feeding, and manure removal cost ! Also helps farmers realize hunters are your friends, no more no hunting signs, they begin to ask for hunters !!
Hunters do little positive towards controlling these pests (they are increasing). IN fact between making them wary & more difficult to control and intentionally liberating them into new areas, hunters are generally as much a problem as pigs. Some do operate effectively and provide some localised control, those are a very small minority
The federal government is very concerned. However, most family farms are in red states and Republicans want federal "hands off" federal mandated acts in red states. The feral hogs are found often in great numbers on lands controlled by the federal government. These things are now being found in Canada. It may be partially due to weather getting warmer or genes for long thick hair now recessive in domestic pigs that are being triggered by being free.....or a combination. But you're right they are a nightmare. Pigs are very intelligent, very fecund, adaptable, and they omnivorous and not fussy eaters. A sow can farrow 2 litters a year. If you see any on your land .....try to kill them!
@@JaimeGarcia-pe7bj I think the reason they are moving further north is because of the Russian boar genetic stock that was introduced. The video claimed that Texas has the most, but I think that is probably because Texas looks for them while California tries to pretend there are no wild pig problem in their state. Tx encourages hunting and allows any legal weapon to be used. Ca fought hard to keep restrictions on hunting until they noticed that wild pigs destroy nature as well as farms.

Black bears are not really predators in any significant way so don’t rely on them to control wild boar populations. I say much better to have massive cookouts.
That's the spirit of America: We're killed everything, all the pigeons, all the wolves, all the bisons, bit we love killing, so let's import something we can kill.
There's a lot of restaurants that serve it in the Netherlands, and I must say it's one of my favourite pieces of venison; even though I like pigs/boars in general :P
Well, I don't know about research, but i'm sure we could conclude a few probabilities. There is an impact, but I don't think its enough to notice anything negative. nothing I can think of. If anything, I see a few ecological positives. But many negative problems with humans. I suppose that humans are also part of the ecological though. They eat mostly vegetation. They are not an apex predator, but have the potential to be a predator, but I doubt they are good at it. They can't catch deer. Maybe rabbits could be a good pray for them. Rabbits, another invasive species. These hogs can kill all the rabbits they want to. I could see a major impact if they introduce the perfect predator for these guys. Its interesting I think. Would need to be big, and fast. Bears might naturally fill that spot. Give enough time, and bears have all they can eat. They are very fast, big enough to kill the biggest bors. Growing bear populations may become another human problem. I'm curious about the rate at whiich these bors are evolving intelligence. I think thats very interesting. They breed like crazy, they are already very smart animals. they kill 60% of them every year. Looks like an enviroment for rapid evolution. Give it 200 years, you might have some crazy smart pigs. Only the smart survive sort of situation.
Hundreds of studies. All using the same outhouse. Which. Will. After a silver bullet is found. Which I have offered in consultation. Will all the millions of dollars donated towards studies. Abruptly cease. And all involved in studies be out of work. Mountain zebra syndrome. If it farts it is frightened. And when frightened. It farts. Never-say-never. But chances for anyone to stand up and partake in what I mentioned. Are for only the very few. Very bold of character.
Most do not hunt wild boars/pigs. They are trapped and killed. Before we sold the farm we trapped around 20 a year. Most of the other farms in the area also trapped so it kind of kept them under control. Season is always open no limit kill as many as you can, no need to worry about making a dent in the population. Right now it is just about keeping some kind of control over the massive numbers.
@@tony98discovery We were a small producer, 20 head most often steers. Regulations changed so I could not ship to the nearest auction house which was across the state line. Ended up with 3 choices hire a company and ship them 75 miles south to the next nearest auction house. Buy the trailer needed to ship them or sell everything.
The reason they are so plentiful each year is because a lot of people I know lease their land to hunters. They release a few pregnant feeder hogs each late winter. They usually stay around the hunters corn baiting feeder but breed fast. By winter there are dozens with dozens of piglets from just a couple young sows. These eventually span out as winter progresses but they keep stocking them here in the oxarks
@@nozrep After my parents passed, I had more then a few hard questions to figure out. The farm cost more to run then the house just outside the city. So the farm was sold.
During hurricane Harvey the wild pigs came into the neighborhood to escape the flooding . You cannot appreciate how big they are. Much bigger than a large dog. I bought outside lights and an automatic garage door opener because a friend of mine stumbled on a group that were between her house and vehicle.
The resilience and resourcefulness of American and Canadian farmers are evident as they devise solutions to mitigate the damage caused by millions of wild boars attacking farms.
@@tony98discovery Like rabbits, if cornered or provoked enough they will attack. Pet dogs and cats are infinitely more dangerous. Wild pigs encountered, even by drama queens, will try to escape, not attack (outside situations above).
Some of your wild boar look like real wild boar from Europe and some parts of Asia, some look like the famous Spanish "pata negra(black foot)" pigs. They are very common here in Germany but not always easy to spot. I love the meat. Is wild boar meat popular in the US?
In certain places they are eaten more than others the places where they are eating more rice corn or other grains other drier more barren places that they eat a lot of dead stuff not so much they are such a nuisance that people just want them gone nobody really cares what happens to them after
Yes, but it is more of a regional thing--- They are not really sold commercially--- From one German to another--- Theres not enough schnitzel recipes here!!!!
@@thomasfoss9963 I am from the country side and there is a hunter with a small shop in the neighbor village who sells deer and wild boar. In another neighbor village there is a shepherd with his own small butcher shop. His son in law is hunter and you can buy wild boar and deer there provided that he has shot something. I love wild boar. Much better than the cheap crap from the big farms in Northern Germany you can buy in the super markets.
Yes, wild boars can cause significant damage to crops and agriculture, and it's important for hunters and policymakers to work together to address this issue.
Yes, wild boars are often considered invasive species. Hunting them isn't necessarily to eradicate them completely but is often conducted to manage and control their population
You're absolutely right. Wild boars' adaptability to various environments, combined with their prolific breeding capabilities, presents significant challenges in controlling their populations. Their resilience and resourcefulness make it necessary to implement comprehensive and multi-faceted approaches that focus on population management, habitat modification, and public education. Addressing the issue requires a collaborative effort to mitigate the impact of this invasive species.
Wild boars can indeed cause significant economic losses for farmers and communities, and it's important to develop effective strategies to minimize these losses.
@@tony98discovery US farmers have to learn to hunt and process wild boar meat more efficiently. In my country...the Philippines, we cure wild boar meat with copious amounts salt ,sugar. vineagar and chili powder. Sort of Like wild boar honey cured bacon.
@@johncane8684 There is a hunting season on mountain lions, Brown bear, Wolves so they are extremely rare in the areas they still survive. There are NO wild hogs in the area wolves brown bear and cougar still survive you are sure right about that.
Absolutely, staying informed about the issue of wild boar populations and supporting responsible management efforts is crucial to balancing the needs of agriculture, wildlife, and the environment.
In Texas. New Mexico. Arizona there had been populations of Jaguar, Mexican Wolf, Mexican Grizzly as wellas Puma that kept down populations of feral pigs.
Droughts as we had last year in west tx greatly reduced numbers by making pigs too malnourished to reproduce, allowing hunters to catch up with populations .Numbers are reduced by over 90% by the time rains return to grow food sources.
In Germany cold winter used to reduce the numbers significantly but cold winter are more and more rare. The favorite wild boar food here is corn and there is more and more corn.
Are composting pile created so they have access to rotting food and the garden remain untouched? Getting them used to being fed might help when it comes time to 'thin the herd'. I assume they are normally 'marginal areas' that sheep might not like.
Absolutely, hunters who utilize wild boar meat for sustenance demonstrate a responsible approach to hunting and a deeper appreciation for the resources provided by nature. When hunters prioritize utilizing the meat, it contributes to sustainable wildlife management and reduces waste. It's great to see individuals embracing the concept of hunting for sustenance.
@@tony98discovery So you want them not to feed on the pigs. Of course, deviating with a "more comprehensive and diverse approach" is refusing a simple solution. So you prefer poor people to be poor and homeless people to be homeless.
It's remarkable how wild boars display ingenuity in evading traps. Their behavior and problem-solving abilities can pose challenges for effective trapping methods.
It's great to hear that our video has sparked your interest in wild boar hunting! Hunting wild boar can provide an exhilarating experience for those who enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the challenges it entails. If you decide to pursue hunting, ensure you familiarize yourself with local regulations, practice ethical hunting methods, and prioritize safety at all times. Happy hunting!
The impact of wild boars on native species and ecosystems is a pressing concern. Their foraging behavior and rooting activities can disrupt natural habitats and potentially lead to the decline or extinction of native species. It's crucial to manage their populations responsibly to safeguard the biodiversity and ecological balance of the affected areas.
I'm sorry to hear about the losses you've experienced due to wild boar attacks. It's a distressing situation that highlights the need for proper wild boar management. Protecting livestock from such attacks requires implementing measures such as secure fencing, early detection systems, and collaboration with local wildlife authorities. It's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of your herds.
Wild boar jerky can indeed be a perfect snack for outdoor adventures. It's important to source wild boar meat responsibly and ensure it is prepared safely for consumption.
Indeed, wild boar meat has gained popularity among food enthusiasts and hunters alike. Its distinct flavor and lean quality make it an appealing choice for those seeking unique culinary experiences. Additionally, the connection to nature and the satisfaction of hunting for one's food add to its appeal. It's exciting to see how wild boar has captured the interest of both foodies and hunters.
How lucky and blessed the USA, wild boars are special delicacy in other country. Contrary to the USA, boars are just scattering around houses. Bless you more USA.
Hunting wild boars can be thrilling, but it's important for hunters to prioritize proper training and equipment to ensure safe and responsible practices.
I empathize with your experience as a farmer witnessing the damage caused by wild boars to pastures and hay fields. Their feeding and rooting behaviors can be detrimental to agricultural lands. It's important to explore and implement sustainable management practices that strike a balance between preserving your livelihood and protecting natural ecosystems.
You're absolutely right. The damage caused by wild boars to ecosystems and agriculture is a significant concern. It's important to find a balance between managing their population and protecting the environment. Collaborative efforts and effective management strategies are crucial in mitigating the impact of wild boars on ecosystems and agricultural areas.

That's right, wild boar hunting in Texas is not for the faint of heart, and requires hunters to possess both skill and patience to be successful.
Skill and patience is there. Aplenty. But the political will to lead, is TOTALLY absent.
That's the spirit of America: We're killed everything, all the pigeons, all the wolves, all the bisons, bit we love killing, so let's import something we can kill.
Do you live in the US?
I got sick of hearing, "In the United States". We know where they are!
Hunting wild boars in Texas can be a great way to connect with nature.
Absolutely! Many people enjoy the thrill of hunting wild boars in the beautiful wilderness of Texas.
Better yet. Starts a rumour that wild board tusk is good to use in Chinese traditional medicine.
Never tried wild boar, but it looks mouthwatering.
There's a lot of restaurants that serve it in the Netherlands, and I must say it's one of my favourite pieces of venison; even though I like pigs/boars in general :P
I am curious about the ecological impact of wild boar on native plants and animals. Are there any ongoing research projects on this issue?
Well, I don't know about research, but i'm sure we could conclude a few probabilities. There is an impact, but I don't think its enough to notice anything negative. nothing I can think of. If anything, I see a few ecological positives. But many negative problems with humans. I suppose that humans are also part of the ecological though.
They eat mostly vegetation. They are not an apex predator, but have the potential to be a predator, but I doubt they are good at it. They can't catch deer. Maybe rabbits could be a good pray for them. Rabbits, another invasive species. These hogs can kill all the rabbits they want to.
I could see a major impact if they introduce the perfect predator for these guys. Its interesting I think. Would need to be big, and fast. Bears might naturally fill that spot. Give enough time, and bears have all they can eat. They are very fast, big enough to kill the biggest bors. Growing bear populations may become another human problem.
I'm curious about the rate at whiich these bors are evolving intelligence. I think thats very interesting. They breed like crazy, they are already very smart animals. they kill 60% of them every year. Looks like an enviroment for rapid evolution. Give it 200 years, you might have some crazy smart pigs. Only the smart survive sort of situation.
Hundreds of studies. All using the same outhouse. Which. Will. After a silver bullet is found. Which I have offered in consultation. Will all the millions of dollars donated towards studies. Abruptly cease. And all involved in studies be out of work. Mountain zebra syndrome. If it farts it is frightened. And when frightened. It farts.
Never-say-never. But chances for anyone to stand up and partake in what I mentioned. Are for only the very few. Very bold of character.
How many wild Sow's are there?
Oh, I didnt know there were almost 9,000,000 wild boars in America! That is an amazing number!
Most do not hunt wild boars/pigs. They are trapped and killed. Before we sold the farm we trapped around 20 a year. Most of the other farms in the area also trapped so it kind of kept them under control. Season is always open no limit kill as many as you can, no need to worry about making a dent in the population. Right now it is just about keeping some kind of control over the massive numbers.
What kind of animals or plants did your farm raise before?
@@tony98discovery We were a small producer, 20 head most often steers. Regulations changed so I could not ship to the nearest auction house which was across the state line. Ended up with 3 choices hire a company and ship them 75 miles south to the next nearest auction house. Buy the trailer needed to ship them or sell everything.
The reason they are so plentiful each year is because a lot of people I know lease their land to hunters. They release a few pregnant feeder hogs each late winter. They usually stay around the hunters corn baiting feeder but breed fast. By winter there are dozens with dozens of piglets from just a couple young sows. These eventually span out as winter progresses but they keep stocking them here in the oxarks
@@inharmonywithearth9982 "Stocking" feral pigs? No offense to you at all but your neighbors are morons!
@@nozrep After my parents passed, I had more then a few hard questions to figure out. The farm cost more to run then the house just outside the city. So the farm was sold.
During hurricane Harvey the wild pigs came into the neighborhood to escape the flooding . You cannot appreciate how big they are. Much bigger than a large dog. I bought outside lights and an automatic garage door opener because a friend of mine stumbled on a group that were between her house and vehicle.
Have you ever hunted wild boar?
If there’s 9 million wild boars out there, how come bacon costs so much?
@@kirkthiets2771 That, detective, is the correct question.

Also depending on the laws in the state you plan to hunt, some of that meat could be donated to help poor families and homeless shelters.
Do you have a problem with wild boar in your area?
@@tony98discovery Ya lots of fat women here in Canada!
@@e-bikeautonomy Those are broads, not boars.
@@gorilladisco9108 lol u my brother can eat with me any day!
The resilience and resourcefulness of American and Canadian farmers are evident as they devise solutions to mitigate the damage caused by millions of wild boars attacking farms.
*Incredible how massive those wild pigs can be! Their size during hurricane Harvey was astonishing. Safety measures are crucial.*
These wild boars may be more dangerous than we think
@@tony98discovery Like rabbits, if cornered or provoked enough they will attack. Pet dogs and cats are infinitely more dangerous. Wild pigs encountered, even by drama queens, will try to escape, not attack (outside situations above).
Some of your wild boar look like real wild boar from Europe and some parts of Asia, some look like the famous Spanish "pata negra(black foot)" pigs. They are very common here in Germany but not always easy to spot. I love the meat. Is wild boar meat popular in the US?
In certain places they are eaten more than others the places where they are eating more rice corn or other grains
other drier more barren places that they eat a lot of dead stuff not so much they are such a nuisance that people just want them gone nobody really cares what happens to them after
Yes, but it is more of a regional thing--- They are not really sold commercially--- From one German to another--- Theres not enough schnitzel recipes here!!!!
@@thomasfoss9963 lol..
I'm from England we have them wild here can't beat a hog roast. Greetings my German friends
@@thomasfoss9963 I am from the country side and there is a hunter with a small shop in the neighbor village who sells deer and wild boar. In another neighbor village there is a shepherd with his own small butcher shop. His son in law is hunter and you can buy wild boar and deer there provided that he has shot something. I love wild boar. Much better than the cheap crap from the big farms in Northern Germany you can buy in the super markets.

Open season all year round.
Not even require a hunter to harvest
the meat
Food is the best way, they can feed the world, and no cost raising them
In Texas. New Mexico. Arizona there had been populations of Jaguar, Mexican Wolf, Mexican Grizzly as wellas Puma that kept down populations of feral pigs.
Droughts as we had last year in west tx greatly reduced numbers by making pigs too malnourished to reproduce, allowing hunters to catch up with populations .Numbers are reduced by over 90% by the time rains return to grow food sources.
Do you have this problem with these boar?
@@tony98discovery we grow primarily cotton here near Lubbock tx. The pigs pigs are not a problem with the operations of cotton production.
In Germany cold winter used to reduce the numbers significantly but cold winter are more and more rare. The favorite wild boar food here is corn and there is more and more corn.
@@christofabt8958 when rains and pigs are plentiful in west tx A good bit of trapping takes place here, and I understand the meat does go your way.
Being a regular wild boar hunter, I've noticed the correlation between droughts and boar numbers too.
A friend had their garden ravaged by wild boars overnight. Its amazing how much devastation they can cause in such a short time.
Are composting pile created so they have access to rotting food and the garden remain untouched? Getting them used to being fed might help when it comes time to 'thin the herd'. I assume they are normally 'marginal areas' that sheep might not like.
I admire hunters who use wild boar meat for sustenance rather than just for sport.
Absolutely, hunters who utilize wild boar meat for sustenance demonstrate a responsible approach to hunting and a deeper appreciation for the resources provided by nature. When hunters prioritize utilizing the meat, it contributes to sustainable wildlife management and reduces waste. It's great to see individuals embracing the concept of hunting for sustenance.
With so many wild boars, I wonder what impact they have on local ecosystems and agriculture. This could be both fascinating and worrying.
their feeding habits can lead to considerable damage.
Is it enough food for all homeless and poor people?
Providing an adequate food supply for such a large population requires a more comprehensive and diverse approach.
@@tony98discovery So you want them not to feed on the pigs. Of course, deviating with a "more comprehensive and diverse approach" is refusing a simple solution.
So you prefer poor people to be poor and homeless people to be homeless.
