Poison is a stupid idea. It is an indiscriminate killer of whatever eats it and whatever eats what ate it.

No problem with poison, as long as it's lead poisoning.

If they're going to go through with this I'm hoping it's something that acts quick because if its not I can just see some hog wolfing down a bunch and then the guy hunting the ranch next door shoots it when it comes over there and a bunch of people get poisoned eating that pig.

The article I read says the fat will turn blue for easy identification.... didn't someone here shoot a "blue hog" awhile back?

With only 1.5 % of Texas public lands and the rest private pay to play, its no wonder they are over run with hogs. They could recruit about a dozen Hmong and the hogs would disappear in no time.
