YouTube on the Range - Feral Hog Research at Texas Tech
With a recent Oklahoma City SRM symposium on Feral Hogs - and an SRM Policy statement on this critters in the making - we thought it time to show one of the many YouTube videos available on the topic. Many of these are of exciting (and often hair-raising) hunting scenes of helicopter gunning and breathless pursuits with hounds a-baying. Here we see the more sedate (though still potentially hazardous) investigative side, where grad student Peter Schlichting leads a field team in Dickens County, TX, trying to "gain an understanding into their behavior and ecology so that we can make management goals."
