Also notice that after 88 they no longer even tried to keep track of areas with less than 10 per square mile. This was because the map basically would have covered the entire south by 2004 if they had. These maps also only track KNOWN swine herds. IE those that have been tagged by the National Feral Swine Mapping System.

The maps into the future that I have seen have been pretty insane, with almost the entire US covered. They should start some type of program where the feral hogs can at least be donated to feed someone/something, or ground up and used as manure if that is possible. If I went hog hunting, what would I do with 5 of them if I killed that many one day? I killed 8 whitetails here one morning and would have stopped at 2 if I didn't already know where to donate them to feed the hungry. I could have killed more than 8, but knew that it was going to take me the rest of the day to gut them, drag them out, and get them to the donation place. It was a fun morning and a rough rest of the day.
