Those darn "four-legged fire ants"
This earlier post reported on the emerging market for the meat of feral hogs, which are a fixture of rural (and, increasingly, suburban) Texas.
The Chronicle's Shannon Tompkins takes the discussion of earlier post several steps further and provides this excellent overview of the feral hog phenomenom in Texas. The battle between humans and hogs is a fascinating story involving a myriad of subjects -- including biology, ecology, farming, hunting and game policy -- and it appears that the hogs are winning that battle!
