October 15, 2019

Keep up with the latest issue with Missouri Feral Hogs

I have been keeping my own records of every deer hunting for the last 36 years.

I have been keeping records for the last 23 years for MDC bowhunter survey.

19 years ago they added Wild Hog to survey.

They provide results state wide for every county for every animal. NOT once have they ever provided results for Wild Hogs.

Everything dealing with Missouri wild hogs is like a National Security Secret.

But I guess to get answer someone has to fill out a Freedom of information request for wild hogs and bowhunter suvery for the last 19 years.

​ Really comes down to they believe People of Missouri especially Southern Missouri are stupid to understand.

SNAPSHOT OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH WILD HOGS ACROSS MISSOURI

You won’t see this published by the Missouri Government Agencies, Missouri Lobbyist or the Missouri Media, because it is the cold hard truth that the leadership in Jefferson City failed the wildlife and citizens of Missouri. But Hey – Don’t believe me, go look at the numbers.

The Missouri Bow Hunters 
​

19 years ago, they added Wild Hog to survey.

They provide results statewide for every county for every animal. NOT once have they ever provided results for Wild Hogs.

So again, I filled out an OPEN RECORDS REQUEST FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS -

For Year 1999 Wild Hogs added to the Bow Hunters survey and none reported.

For Year 2000 – 20 Wild Hogs in 5 counties reported by bow hunters

JUMP 18 YEARS LATER – Missouri make the statement that it is the Self-Proclaimed National Model for Feral Hog Eradication.

For Year 2018 – 187 Wild Hogs in 14 counties reported by bow hunters
