Texas researcher hasn't found success yet with birth control for feral hogs

Betsy Blaney from The Associated Press reports:

LUBBOCK – There's a saying that when a feral hog has six piglets, only eight are expected to survive.

That's no joke in Texas, however, where the 400-pound beasts do an estimated $50 million in damage to crops and property each year. Texas has half the nation's feral hogs, but they're now found in about 38 other states, up from fewer than 20 states 15 years ago.
