128. How Do Hunters And American Farmers Deal With Millions Of Monkey And Wild Boar in Texas
In Texas, the issue of managing millions of wild boars and invasive monkey populations is a significant challenge for hunters and farmers. Wild boars, which number in the millions, cause extensive agricultural damage, estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars annually. They destroy crops, damage property, and pose a threat to native wildlife. Hunters and farmers employ a variety of methods to control these populations.
Hunters play a crucial role in population control. Wild boar hunting is popular, and Texas allows year-round hunting with no bag limits. This encourages hunters to actively participate in reducing boar numbers. Techniques include trapping, night hunting with thermal or night vision scopes, and the use of hunting dogs. Additionally, helicopter hunting has become a highly effective method, allowing hunters to cover large areas and cull significant numbers of boars in a short time.
Farmers also implement several measures to protect their land. Fencing is a common method, though it can be expensive and not always foolproof. Trapping is another widespread technique, with various types of traps designed to capture multiple boars at once. Some farmers use baiting and shooting, particularly in high-problem areas. Additionally, many participate in coordinated control programs with local authorities to manage and reduce boar populations.
The invasive monkey problem, though less widespread than wild boars, presents a different set of challenges. Monkeys can cause crop damage and pose a risk of spreading diseases. Farmers and wildlife officials typically use live traps to capture monkeys and relocate them. Efforts are also made to prevent their spread through public awareness and legal measures to control their ownership and movement.
Overall, dealing with these invasive species requires a combination of hunting, trapping, fencing, and community cooperation to mitigate their impact on agriculture and the environment.
