How does one become a certified trophyologist?
It happens.....but very rarely in my experience from both sides of the picture.....being raised up hog hunting and on a cow/calf ranching operation. But you know how silly people are. They like to sensationalize things to make it sound better. Hungry buzzards kill more calves than hogs do in my opinion. I figure its allot like the buzzard deal....... where a hungy or injured hog starts out eating calves that were born dead trying to survive. Then they might move on to live calves, even then a healthy calve born to an experienced momma cow is at very little danger from any hog. There is a long list of things that can negatively affect a calf crop and hogs dont even come close to being one of them
I can say this, I've been around hog hunters and cattlemen all my life and have never personally seen a hog that was killing and eating calves. AND I have only ever heard of one legtimate claim of hogs killing and eating calves, and that was a big, old, crippled boar that my dad killed for another cow man.
