Missouri Feral Hog Density
Just in case you haven't done the math from the Map from USDA Aphis that existance has been uncovered.
2017 - 58 Counties in Missouri had detectable wild hogs per USDA Aphis
2017 - Missouri has over 30 counties with Feral Hogs - Per MDC
The Upper Estimated Population of Wild Hogs in the State of Missouri in 2017 was 47,200 PLUS per the USDA Aphis map added it up yourself.
The Missouri Department of Consevation Killed 6,567 per MDC.
Mark Twain National Forest publication (Forest Reflections 2017, page 10), “an estimated 20,000 – 30,000 feral hogs in the State of Missouri - USDA publication.
FY 2015 - Joplin Globe - It is estimated that there are about 10,000 feral hogs in Missouri
This map also shows how under estimated the feral hog population is in Missouri.
Example: Bollinger County - Green = 26 - 100
Example: Bollinger County they kill 269.
This is the comes directly from MDC open records request I filed.
Bollinger County 2017 – 257 Killed by Trapping, 7 Killed by Shooting, 5 Killed by Helicopter (Total 269)
– 153 Sows – 115 Boars – 96 Adults – 257 Juveniles – 0 Fetus
LIES OR INCOMPETENCE
2017 was the year you can see the facts about Missouri Wild Hogs.
United State Feral Hog Density Map
USDA-APHIS WILD HOG DENSITY MAP – 2017 – Share this map with your friends and state representative.
This is for the Citizens of Missouri!!!!
Next time they say they don't know what the population is. That is ********!!!
If you think the Missouri Department of Conservation doesn’t have a copy of the map for the last 4 years, you’re kidding yourself.
Just another example of information hidden from the Missouri Public when it comes to feral hogs in Missouri.
Enclosed to follow is what it takes to get the information of NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS called FERAL HOGS IN MISSOURI, every time I have to fill one out ****** me off because of the TRANSPARENCY they brag about.
If I don't provide it then they call me liar. So here is all of it!!!

This is awesome Real Citizens of Missouri vs Biggest Fraud in Jefferson City
Video is full a gems. ROFLMAO
This Video is from February of 2020
The full truth came out total of 9 electronic traps in the entire state. The other 280 are not.
Another half truth told been trapping for 25 years but never says how many trappers for each year.
Forgot to mention why the plan was till 2023. Because that's how long the 4.5 million dollars from the feds last. They knew if before ever announced.
So many half truths so little time.
They caught 14 really. When was that? Because only 2 convicted over 16 years ago.
DNA false flag operation to cover up USDA APHIS and MDC failure- Next time you here MDC talk about DNA of feral hogs in Missouri.
A February 2020 study comprised of data from 6,500 feral animals across America showed most feral pigs have a domestic ancestry.

Mark Twain National Forest closed to stop the spread of disease. Really when truth can't be told. Just make up ****.
Wonder if the $120,000 dollar MDC pays with state taxpayers money for a Federal Law Enforcement Officer on Mark Twain National Forest helps stop the spread of disease.
Forgot to brag about 17 million dollar budget of taxpayers money for Feral Hogs from state and federal level all going Missouri Department of Conservation from 2014 to 2023.

Missouri Has more counties and acres enrolled than the 13 other states with more feral hogs in the USDA Feral Swine Control Pilot program till (2023.)

How do Taxpayers know Missouri is Successful Annually, if YOU do not know what the population is?
Because of the high reproductive potential of feral hogs, it is necessary to remove 70% of the population annually to keep the numbers stable to decreasing.
"PERFORMACE STANDARD" for trapping feral hogs in Missouri - The performance standard must be established FIRST because success (or failure) is measured against it.

Missouri Department of Conservation does participate in the NATIONAL FERAL SWINE MAPPING SYSTEM!
But cannot tell the MISSOURI PUBLIC what the estimated population is!
Missouri Department of Conservation stop reporting the estimated population in 2015!!
The Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study developed the first national feral swine (Sus scrofa) map for the United States in 1982 in collaboration with STATE wildlife resources agencies.
National feral swine distribution maps were completed in 1982, 1988, and 2004 as individual maps, and then ANNUALLY beginning in 2008 through the National Feral Swine Mapping System (NFSMS).
The NFSMS is an internet‐based data‐collection website used in COLLABORATION with STATE wildlife resources agencies and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
These ongoing collaborations have provided for a long‐term database that documents the expansion of established feral swine populations in the United States. The number of states reporting established populations was 18 in 1982 and 35 in 2016. The geographic area included in the distribution of feral swine increased from 544,854 km2 in 1982 to 1,675,618 km2 in 2016.
We describe the development of the national feral swine maps including details on how these data were collected; provide feral swine maps for select years from 1982 to 2016; and note some of the uses of these maps. These maps detail the expansion of feral swine since 1982, which can be used in the future to monitor increases or decreases in the distribution of feral swine as natural reproduction of feral swine continues and feral swine control programs are implemented.
The NFSMS is an internet‐based data‐collection website used in COLLABORATION with STATE wildlife resources agencies and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
