Wild Hog Removal

Wild hogs are not native to Alabama. They are descendants of domestic hogs brought to the southeast by Spanish explorers.  Hogs are able to adapt quickly to all environments and habitats. Mature hogs can range in size from 200-400 pounds. Hogs multiply very quickly because they breed year round and average two litters each year. A wild hogs litter ranges from 4-14 with an equal sex ratio and the females able to breed in six months.

Wild hogs are omnivores and will feed on anything they can eat. Hogs are destructive using their snout to root up the fields and forest floors looking for grubs, tubers, insects, acorns and anything else they can feed their voracious appetite. Because of this they are direct competition with native game animals for the valuable food sources. Due to their very high reproductive rate, lack of natural predators, and destructive habits, wild hogs are becoming a major nuisance problem in Alabama.
