I like to start a discussion about how everyone feels about importing or breeding superior wild pigs and releasing onto your private hunting grounds similiar to how the deer breeding industry in Texas has exploded. Economically, the scientific breeding businnes in Texas isincreasing and producing some impressive animals, I would like to see that expanded to wild pigs. I have seen some websites on the internet that already do this where you can purchase wild pigs with excellent quality genetics and there are some hunting opperations that offer sporting opportunities for wild pigs that have "European" bloodline. I just feel that economically hog hunting is growing and has the potential to make a nice impact on the outdoor economy. Would or could expanding breeding capabilities for wild pigs have a positive impact on the economy and sport. I would like be able to breed and release wild pigs on several of our hunting properties just to improve the chances of shooting quality animals. I have seen this done before on ranches and the results are pretty amazing. Most commonly here in Texas I have know some ranchers who trap unwanted pigs and move them to other areas where hunters can benefit from the pigs. It would make sense to me for TPWD to develop or promote these programs and have public lands available to hunters who can come in and hunt areas that have good populations of quality genetic wildlife. Just something to think about!!!
