Information on Management of Wild Pigs in Mississippi

Seems like every grower meeting we go to, we are hearing more and more about wild pigs destroying crops in some areas of the state.  There are some producers that are even switching what crops they grow soley based on damage from wild hogs. If you are having trouble with wild pigs there are a number of educational materials provided by Mississippi State University, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Aquaculture. See the following website for more details: http://wildpiginfo.msstate.edu/index.html  Or click the photo to see the publication “A Landowner’s Guide For Wild Pig Management, Practical Methods for Wild Pig Control”.
