I live in GA, and we have a feral hog problem in parts of the state although it isn't as bad as TX, but it's growingn. In the county where I work, we are starting to see them moving in large numbers through subdivisions near wooded areas with streams. They are traveling up the waterways. A large property owner that I know had hay fields completely destroyed by hogs; so, he started organizing shoots.

I taught a class in TX last year and stayed in a house next to the range. The owner of the property told me to grab his rifle and kill any hogs that I saw and that he would haul them off the next day.

Much of what I have seen of CO does not appear to be a hospitable environment for a large hog population.
