The Great Illinois Hog Hunt: Where Are Those Wily Swine? ️
Ever wondered just how many feral hogs are grunting around the great state of Illinois? You're not alone, my friend. These bristly bandits are notorious for causing mischief, chowing down on crops, and leaving a wake of destruction in their wake. But fear not, curious citizen, for we shall embark on a quest to uncover the elusive answer!
Feral Hogs: A Hogs-plosion (or lack thereof!)
Illinois has a fascinating history with feral hogs. Once upon a time, these porky pirates were on the rise, establishing little snort-and-snuggle communities. But thanks to some serious trapping and hog-wrangling by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), those populations seem to have been hog-tied... I mean, eradicated.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
However, that doesn't mean we should rest on our laurels (or should that be laurels on our rumps?). The IDNR is constantly on the lookout for any signs of a swinery resurgence. ️♀️
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
