They Were Here First
I grew up around here back in the 60's - my friends & I used to get in an old jeep and hunt them right over this property (TV). There were plenty of them - the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission estimates there are half a million wild hogs in Florida. They can get big, but most are between 100-150 lbs. Nasty animals - root up turf, and plants, and are dangerous. Males (boars) and females (sows) both have tusks, and can spread disease. They LOVE mangos, in particular, so if you have a mango tree be aware they will seek it out. They are not just in the south of TV, they are all over Florida (but particularly like the wetlands around Lake Okeechobee to the south). There should be plenty of trappers in the area who would take them off your hands!
