Many people are aware of the damage that feral hogs can cause to the landscape by rooting and wallowing. However, many do not know that feral hogs also pose a problem to wildlife, including ground-nesting birds such as wild turkey and northern bobwhite quail. That is why several of my colleagues and I produced this publication titled "Feral Hogs Impact Ground-nesting Birds". This publication discusses two research studies on the effect of feral hogs on ground-nesting birds. This publication can be viewed below or at the Texas AgriLife Bookstore website.
