The U.S. Department of Agriculture field specialists help to reduce feral swine damage by trapping, hunting, installing fencing/barriers, and modifying habitats. The program provides technical advice to landowners, state agencies, and others, as well as direct management assistance for feral swine problems in more than 30 states. This assistance is often necessary because hunting alone cannot resolve feral swine conflicts with humans. (USDA APHIS photo Jay Cumbee.)
