Guess the rumors are true.

That would be as wild to see as the kangaroo I killed a few years back in Eastland

Can't drop a bomb like that without giving the story up. You have pic's??

That's what I'm saying.

Neat. I think.

Not really anything new since there have reports of sightings down south for a while. From what I hear they are impossible to keep in any fence. I would treat them like any wild hog and

It would be cool to get a warthog in Texas.

Here is a video of a "feral" kangaroo in Oklahoma. NOTE - BAD LANGUAGE

I would lose it like that guy did

Didn't get to see any when I was at the Chap last year but saw the damage they cause.

Glad they got him.

Thanks for sharing the post Flip. I'll admit I'd love to shoot one. Baker

They will make us happy to have feral hogs if we get a population of warthogs in Texas.

I don't know a ton about either species, but that was kind of my thought.

That would be cool to get free range

As I posted on the Public hunting forum, I love hunting them in Africa but don't really think they belong here. Yes, there isn't a fence made that they can't go under. Maybe a solid concrete wall, but they'd just go down until they were under the footing. All that said, they are grazers and don't really do any damage to the environment other than their holes. Drive a truck into on tho, and you are looking at some seriously broken suspension parts! Find a water hole and be on the lookout from 1000 until 1400, and they will usually come in. Love to roll in the mud and take a soak. I know that Jack Brittingham has them on his Rancho Encantado place next to the Chaparral and he likes them. Talking with him, he doesn't see any issue with having them in South Texas.

Driving around filling feeders before season. It was mid afternoon, I'd had a few beers, and I had my rifle. I turned into the road leading to a feeder and there he stood, and there I stopped. I through the door open and rested the gun on the door. Looking through my scope I was confused as to what I was seeing. I had to wait until it moved to be sure it was in fact a kangaroo. With no way of taking picture at almost 200 yards, I decided the only way people in camp would believe me was to shoot it. So I did. Those little suckers are heavy. And they taste like roadkill. Long back straps but

When I walked up on mine I just started laughing

You ate the wrong part of the roo. The best meat is in the tail.

I wonder if a warthog will cross with a feral hog. Anyone know?

No! they wont cross. They have no ability to conserve body heat so they can't go very far north.

That video got me rolling, lol. Good stuff.

You have got to be kidding me! If those things get loose and populate across the state the people who brought them here should be held responsible!

Im gonna sh!t a brick if those critters show up at our place

If the brick hits the ground you get to go hunting...

I forgot to say, that thing stunk! No way was I doing anymore with it. If I ever kill another then I'll try the tail
