03/18/16   Wild Hogs Stay One Step Ahead Of Hunters

Dallas County Extension agent Keith Gresham says that farmers and landowners need to use their wits when trying to control feral hogs because the animals are certainly using theirs. Gresham says feral hogs are among nature's smarter animals and will use their brains to stay a step ahead of potential captors.

To show some ways around the animals' savvy ways, a feral hog control workshop is set for 6:30 to 9pm April 12 at the Fordyce Civic Center, sponsored by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. Registration is free by calling your local county extension office or signing up by April 5, www.uaex.edu/feralhogs.
