FERAL HOGS - AN INVASIVE SPECIES
Feral Hog Math: 1+1=12, 6+6=72, 36+36=232
Gestation period: 115 days
Females can have their first litter as young as 6 month old.
One sow with litter can turn into over 70 hogs in only 9 months. Add 9 months for every generation after that. You're looking at over 200 hogs after only 18 months.
Wild Hogs cause an annual damage of estimated $2 Billion. That is damage to equipment, live stock, land, as well as crop. This estimate also includes the cost for efforts controlling this invasive species.
Feral hogs compete directly with livestock as well as game and non-game wildlife species for food. However, the main damage caused to livestock and wildlife is indirect destruction of habitat and agriculture commodities. Rooting and trampling activity for food can damage agricultural crops, fields, and livestock feeding and watering facilities. Often wildlife feeders are damaged or destroyed. They also destabilize wetland areas, springs, creeks and tanks by excessive rooting and wallowing. In addition to habitat destruction and alteration, hogs can destroy forestry plantings and damage trees. While not active predators, wild hogs may prey on fawns, young lambs, and kid goats. If the opportunity arises, they may also destroy and consume eggs of ground nesting birds, such as turkeys and quail.

ABOUT TEXAS JAGD
"JAGD" (ja:kt) is German for Hunt/Hunting. Ronny was born and raised in Germany and moved to the US in his late 20s. He has always been an avid outdoorsman and almost immediately started hunting after moving to the USA. Hunting wasn't as accessible in Germany, so he enjoyed and embraced the freedom given in America. He partnered up with Micah when they both discovered that they shared the same passion for night vision and thermal vision hog hunting in Texas. Together they patrol private ranches, farmland and corporate properties around Austin TX and keep the local feral hog population at bay as much as they can.
They aim to kill fast, but feral hog control is a numbers game and they will take any shot which can be safely placed. Their highest priority is safety, and their shots are limited by population/residential homes in rural areas as well as livestock. That's why you won't see them going rapid-fire. They will err on the side of caution instead of taking that one shot they would regret.
Their equipment and means to control Wild Hogs primarily consists of semi-auto rifles equipped with the newest Thermal Vision and Night Vision Optics. These Thermal Scopes allow them to quickly detect and recognize feral hogs at distances up to 1,000 yards. Suppressed AR platform rifles are their preference but there are many other very capable semi-automatic rifles, which will be utilized as well. Silencers are essential to the team's efforts because it reduces the noise level significantly and won't alert people living in surrounding areas so that TXJ's activities won't become a nuisance. Local Texas farmers are grateful for the free crop protection services as it saves them money.
Ronny and Micah enjoy what they do and take pride in this work.

Tracking the shot animal with the drone is such a time saver. A laser pointer on the drone would be nice.
Waidmannsheil, Nice work as allways ! Congrats to your sons, thats what teamwork have to look like!
Waidmannsdank!
Awesome video Ronnie. I have missed your content but understand you have a lot of plates spinning with the new job, family and keeping up with chores on the farm. Kudos to Lauren for keeping up as your camera operator in that first segment.
Thank you! Much appreciated
Waidmannsheil 🌿☘️
Zu allen Sauen aber besonders zu Eric's erster Sau!
Grüße aus dem Saarland!
Must be nice to have your own air support unit..! ;)
Haha, yes. There's something about having air cover!
Your wife had an amazingly steady hand for all the excitement going on. Kudos to her.
Thank you, I'll make sure to let her know. I think hunting in general is growing on her. Not sure if she would ever take an animal herself though. She definitely enjoyed the South Africa trip during which she also ended up filming.
great to see some of your hog hunts again, love those marlin 45-70 lever actions , and congrats to your son with his first hog!
Thanks Dwight! Glad to see you're still around!
For the drone work you and Erich should get head sets with a boom mic , Great job Jacob . the whole team did great.
Tower, this is Ghost Rider. Requesting a fly-by!
@@TexasJAGD Sounds like it is in the works.👍
dude.. come on, it just dont get no better than that!
I don't know why but those big black hogs make me think of big black rats.
Textbook kill with that 45-70...i use .50 beowulf 10.3" AR i built to drop them on spot for night hunts...
I will admit im kinda light weight jealous 😂 you got the whole family involved wife and kids...Hog Heaven...i got a mavic 3 thermal a few months ago to help with night hunts...i love it brother keep up the good work 👏🏿👍🏿💪🏿
Thank you!
I saw your video about redbugs(chiggers). Redbugs are only found in dead wood. However spider mites are found in dry grass, seeds or feed. I think this may be your problem, I suffered from them before. Hope this helps. The treatment is nearly the same, unless you have an allergic reaction; which you did.
I actually concluded that it was poison ivy. My theory is, that the poison ivy oil got diluted by my sweaty pants (it was a hot day) and that's why it covered larger areas on my legs. But needless to say, chigger bugs (fleas/mites) are still terrible.
Good gosh, that's big boar. Kudos for not claiming it was a real 300-pounder, lord knows there are plenty of internet 300-pounders out there. This video shows just how rare a real one is.
lol thanks. Yes, I've heard some crazy stories. Always wonder what they actually saw or have killed.
LOL, new truck? Welcome to the dark side.
That's Micah's F250 😎 I would never join the dark side!! 😂
@@TexasJAGD Wow I love that 350-At least somebody has great taste!!!
Use thermocell and OFF mosquito spray together...😂
Yeah, definitely should have had my thermacell on me. I wasn't prepared.
What chest rig is Micah wearing? Another great video!
So how far into chasing your sons hog were you before you were re-thinking your choice of gun? Congratulate him for me, you only get one first big game harvest.
I actually picked the revolver on purpose and wanted to make that work. I should have grabbed a thermal monocular or at least a headlamp though. Thank you!
We have big pig up north alberta wildboar mess but this near calf insane.thank expose south border hog problems.😮
I grow sudan hybrid haygrazer. I have spooked deer out of it cutting.
Soak chigger bites in rubbing alcohol for a good minute, and it will kill them and the itch. This was the worst year ever for them.
Maybe it was deer then. But we also saw that group of hogs coming out of the hay after dark. That hay was thick. Do you ever see any damage in your hay? And if so, is it hogs or deer?
JAGD what brand of feeder is that and where can i purchase one exactly like that
Actually, that's likely completely home made. I believe the previous owner of our place built them. They work great but I prefer the easy-fill feeders by All Season Feeders. You can fill those without having to winch the barrel up and down.
@@TexasJAGDthanks
🙏🏼
I bet the dogs ate great from the hogs donations
