[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 177567, member: 43"] No season in Texas --- or I guess I should say it's open season 365 days a year. Folks are encouraged to send as many of them to the promised land as they can, as they are very destructive and their population has really exploded in the last 10 years. A few years ago one of the guys on my deer lease killed over 40 of them over a 4 month period, and that was from stand hunting, not not trapping. Most folks of course eat the ones they kill -- roast, BBQ, grind with venison or beef for sausage, etc. In many parts of Texas there is a market for the bigger ones that folks can catch in their traps -- our deer lease rancher claims that some of them wind up in restaurants in the northeast as "wild boar" and there is also a fairly stong ethnic market in some places. The rascals are very prolific: sows can breed at an early age (around 6 months as I recall), have two litters per year, have no real natural enemy once they get a little size to them. [/QUOTE]
