Feral Hog Task Force seeking input from Arkansans

University of Arkansas in partnership with the state’s Feral Hog Task Force is seeking input from Arkansans regarding their experience with feral hogs. The task force incorporates participation and support from several state and federal partner organizations. The goal of the task force is to eradicate feral hogs which is an invasive pest that wreaks havoc on crops, property and natural resources. Agents will be contacting landowners in the Sevier and Howard county area where swine pilot projects are being conducted. Agents are encouraging participation in the survey, even among landowners who have had no direct contact with feral hogs. A survey is being sent in the mail and everyone who receives one is asked to take a few minutes to answer the questions. This process will be ongoing and any landowners are encouraged to report sightings or capture of feral hogs via the Feral Hog Survey 1-2-3 app. If you have feral hogs on your property you are asked to contact USDA Wildlife Services at 501-835-2318.
