Another thought concerning the TAHC and a little revenge......

70 some odd percent of all feral hogs in TX have pseudorabies. If they are in fact cross bred and running free, I would catch 4 or 5 of them in a live trap (you don't want to be killing another mans domestic stock now), have your vet draw blood and send it to ATM for testing. Guaranteed that some will come back positive and you will get a call from the TAHC in short order. The TAHC will ask you to identify the physical location of the pigs, which you give them willfully of course. They will quarantine and order the destruction of every pig on the property. Additionally, they may site him for improper containment, release of previously captured feral hogs etc.

Trust me, I know this one from personal experience...... 23 wild hogs ordered destroyed and burned after trying to do the right thing and spending <$400 on tests......
