Keep up with the latest issue with Missouri Feral Hogs
HOW CLOSE IS MISSOURI TO BECOMING A TIER 4 FERAL HOG STATE OF POPULATION OVER 100,000?
It’s never been how many you kill, it’s how many you leave behind!
Missouri Department of Conservation Professional quoted: “That 70 percent of the feral hog population needs to be removed yearly to keep populations of feral hogs from increasing.”
PEOPLE OF MISSOURI – WHY DON’T YOU ASK THESE 4 GROUPS? MISSOURIANS YOU DECIDE
In past 11 years name the Missouri Government Agency that has shown these number to the public. WHY NOT?
In past 11 years name when you saw this on ANY media in the state of Missouri. WHY NOT?
In past 11 years name the Missouri Elected Official that has had a press release and shown these numbers to the public. WHY NOT?
In past 11 years name when any Missouri Lobby Group in the Missouri Feral Hog Task Force has shown these number to it’s members. WHY NOT
Missouri Feral Hog Task Force Quote “Not enough funding to estimate population”
OR
Would it show the fact that the Missouri Feral Hog Task Force is a complete failure and has never reached 70% in past 11 years of record keeping and trapping, before, during and after feral hog hunting ban.
