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.

I can relate to the comment by the one girl saying the forecast didn't say anything about rain at all. At times like those I'd like to call up the meteorologist and say go outside and look up!
What I liked about your production is the reality and none of the BS jumping up and down showmanship! Great job for the first time out of the gate on this type of production.
I can add some jumping up and down for entertainment though 😉 thank you Eric for the open feedback! Much appreciated!
The only other thing I would add is try to keep your productions clean! What I mean is when you get to the point of promotions, make sure what you promote is real! Make the manufactures show you the science if they have any. QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY products. I must also add affordability. If you have high dollar items, maybe the MF can offer a coupon code or something of that nature. Lastly, any products should have stellar customer service!
I'm in Harper, TX and would love to get together someday for a beer!
Looked like a lot of Fun with lever Rifles and that storm looked like it was getting Crazy out.
Great video. So few people understand how hard it is to guide people hunting pigs at night with thermals/night vision. As well as all the work that goes into to setting the hunt up. Especially for people that have never used thermal/nvgs before.
Add in the pressure of producing content for partner companies and also a compelling youtube video. I learned a lot during that weekend.
Also gotta teach them to shoot center of neck. Much less tracking blood trails when you coach them on shot placement ahead of time.
💯
Somebody was awfully brave wearin' shorts in May, in Central Texas, in heavy brush and high grass......Rattlesnakes, chiggers, ticks, fire ants. Hats off to that guy. And very cool to see the lightning in the background.
Great video!
Screw chiggers! I'll take rattle snakes over chiggers any day! Fought that battle a couple years ago on my property and lost horribly. I brush-hog regularly now and ALWAYS wear pants, boots, and long socks even if it is 100 degrees plus. Chiggers are a different kind of evil that leave you contemplating amputation or death if you get them bad enough.
I hate chiggers.... At least rattle snakes can be shot and beheaded.
Permythrin on the boots\shoes\socks . stops.everything but the snakes
Nice job Sir... and I am happy our Texas weather didn't let you down!
You should get a Jagd terrier to track the pigs once they have been shot.
I'd love to get a Bavarian Mountain Hound some day.
@@TexasJAGD they look good 👍
Awesome
Was the sound dubbed on the LTVs? I thought they were video only. I am hoping to get a hog video on my THOR4, but currently just have a couple of raccoons on my AGM Rattler.
My lever guns are all top eject, great on daylight/dusk pigs, but scout mounting a thermal might be tough on the eyes.
Glad your guests got some free range pork.
Yes, dubbed - I was filming with my regular camera and synced that audio track to the video.
@@TexasJAGD TYVM. Dubbing, or narrating over a video is perfectly fine IMO and those few hundred $ for the sound feature might be out of reach for many people wanting thermal or NV. As someone who has listened to 8mm home movie, and slide show, narration, I would rather have the visuals than just the narration. I am a good storyteller, but visuals always bring extra realism to the narrative.
I see you're growing a Billy Gibbons beard.
looked fun
One the best hog videos was a crew in small farm helichopters < ha! i made a new word
one had machine gun one a rifle 1 a shotty the rifle got more xd machine gun bullets do fly but no acurate
Being outside with lightening around is not a good idea. Was out fishing on a lake when a storm came up, luckily there was an island with an abandoned fish camp on it. My wife and I sat on the porch and a lightening bolt hit a tree right next to the house spraying me with pieces of tree. I worried when I saw that large metal structure you were next to.
Yeah, I don't try to be outside during storms like this. We made it inside as quickly as we could. The metal barn was the safest place for us to be. Acts as a faraday cage.
Glad you weren't injured!
Hi what monopod do you use?
LOLver gun
👍
nice job on the hog eradication, that was one hell of a storm and lighting show, i need to train my hogs better...to their death
