TEXAS PANHANDLE -- Hundreds if not thousands of hunters descend on the Texas Panhandle every year to hunt wildlife, but one type of hunt has become necessity.

Wild feral hogs have become quite a problem for farmers and ranchers, causing millions of dollars in damage every year.

Red River Boars is a hunting guide company that assists ranchers with their wild feral hog population. They hunt and kill an estimated 300 to 400 wild feral hogs a year in the Texas Panhandle.

ProNews 7 tagged along with some hunters from Missouri, and the guides of Red River Boars, to witness first-hand the numbers and how they hunt these havoc wreaking hogs.
