I was reading a article from TPWL about hogs , they stated hogs only lived six to eight years. I have trapped and caught hogs that I think had to be well over ten years old. How old of a hog do you think you have caught or seen ?

iv been wondering the same as to how long feral hogs would live.
hillbilly, you say 10-15yrs. is that domestic or feral and where did you come to get those figures, personal experience through family/friends raising hogs for slaughter or hog caught and aged using teeth as they do with deer and other wildlife?

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

I think feral hogs can live 10 or longer, but I would agree that most live 6-8. I guess it depends a lot on the environment that they are living in. To include food sources, number of other hogs and predators, hunting pressure ect.

We caught a boar on the pearl river wma and had an old man with us and caught a real good boar uand after tying him noticed his ear was notched and upon further inspection it was his dad's old mark, he said wait a minute and stood back and said I bet that hog only has one testicle and a scar, sure enough it did, he said that boar got loose from him and his dad as a little shoat when they were cutting some little boars they had caught in a trap about 10 yrs before, pretty interesting to me.....

My good friend kept one around his house that was 13 years old the last time I saw him. His son caught the hog in a 5 gal bucket, and kept him in a large wooded pen for that long. No meds, just a little corn and occasional table scraps.
