October is "Hog Out Month - Get the Hog Outta Texas!"

The following was in the Lake Cities Sun Newspaper, 10/14/10 (Lake Dallas, TX)
and appears to be a news release from the state of Texas:

"Wild pig problem grabs spotlight.

The Texas Department of Agriculture on October 4 declared October "Hog Out
Month - Get the hog outta Texas!"

An estimated 2,000,000 feral hogs live in Texas and they cause some $400 million
in damage a year to Texas. That's $200 damage per critter.

A grant will be given to the counties with the most hogs removed. County Extension
agents have more information on hog control measures and the granting program."

I wrote this up in order to give anyone with a long gun and some hogs in their area
the chance to help get their county a share of the money. Go get 'em!!
