Invasive Feral Swine Herds Increasing in Carroll County

Feral swine, a non-native invasive species, destroy farms, property and disrupt native wildlife. Documented in all 75 Arkansas counties, feral swine are most active this fall in Carroll County, which is why an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife biologist is on call to assist property owners with trapping and killing the wild hogs. The local USDA Natural Resources Conservation District office is also purchasing traps in bulk to distribute to property owners.
