For years, feral hogs have been causing problems for farmers and landowners in the United States. They reproduce so quickly that their population has exploded, causing serious damage to crops, livestock, and even wildlife. In an attempt to control their population, some states have allowed hunters to take them down.
In today’s episode of the Back to the Lodge, Patrick talks about why feral hogs are being hunted, what changed his perspective about hunting hogs, and when is the best time of year to hunt wild boars.
Also in the show will be the founder of Perfect Pattern Sportcoats, Tim and his wife Austyn Swisher. They will share what people are saying about their products, their future plans for women’s apparel, and how to get great discounts and free shipping at Perfect Pattern Sportcoats.
Perfect Pattern Sportcoats is a high-end menswear company that was born when an avid South Carolina waterfowler identified a problem and decided to create a solution. As avid duck hunters, they wanted a finely tailored sportcoat that was designed with the highest attention to detail while making a bold but tasteful statement. This was accomplished by teaming up with Mossy Oak as Official Licensees and incorporating the absolute best camo patterns into every sportcoat that they make.

Favorite Quotes
10:09 - "So here's the problem in Texas, if you're a farmer, let's say you have a hundred thousand acres, you're making your living off of crops and cattle but you can't free-feed your cattle. The hogs will go in there and eat all the food and starve the cattle. The hogs also attract the coyotes, and the coyotes eat the calves. Wild boar will dig three feet in the ground, so the tractors don't like that either and the cattle don't like that because they can break a leg. There are so many problems. The amount of destruction is in the billions of dollars a year from feral hogs." - Patrick Mudge
