Officials: Progress being made eliminating feral hogs [View all]
Missouri conservation officials say they are making progress in eliminating feral hogs from the state.
Officials want to get rid of them because they can damage areas such as farmland, fragile glades, and more by rooting for food.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that the Missouri Feral Hog Elimination Partnership killed 9,857 feral hogs in 2021, bringing the total number of hogs killed since 2016 to more than 54,000.
Jason Jensen, incident Commander of Feral Hog Operations for the Missouri Department of Conservation, said those numbers are slightly down from previous years. But he sees that as a sign of success.
