It’s time to get a little hog wild alongside some Central Texas bounty hunters. They’re not after people. Bosque County is one of several Texas counties that have put a bounty on each head (and tail) of invasive feral hogs. In this episode, two of those bounty hunters show me how to sniff out a pig and I learn that they’re not always cute like Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web.
