A Field Guide To European Wild Hog Impact In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park With An Assessment Of Seasonal Rooting Habits PDF Download

Excerpt from Techniques for Controlling Wild Hogs in Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Proceedings of a Workshop; November 29-30, 1983 The program for the workshop was organized to allow all participants to become acquainted not only with problems created by the wild hog in Great Smoky Mountains National Park but also with management actions and research on hogs in other areas. The meeting began with introductory presentations by invited speakers on a variety of subjects relating to the hog. These were followed by a field trip conducted by the Resource Management Division. Participants had the opportunity to observe rooting damage as well as the dense vegetation of the Smokies which limits accessibility and makes control efforts more arduous. Ibill Cook and Kim Delozier demonstrated the different traps used in the park and discussed the effectiveness of various firearms. In addition, Chris Belden.and Bill Frankenberger, Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, displayed a trap that has been very effective in capturing hogs in Florida.
