Feral Hogs Continue to Cause Concern

TYLER — Local retailers say feral swine are a real nuisance lately. More and more hogs are being seen in the Tyler area and officials with the Texas Parks and Wildlife say it’s not an uncommon sight. But what seems to be uncommon in heavily populated areas is the size of the pack. According to KETK, a herd of feral hogs, about thirty of them, all different shapes and sizes, were spotted chomping away at the grass on Grande between Old Jacksonville Highway and Highway 155. Some say it’s dangerous for joggers and the hogs pose a rick to drivers if the swine were to wander into the roadway.
