Feral Hog  Picture Feral Hog Control - Fencing
Using fences to control feral hogs is probably the most expensive control option. Fencing seldom provides permanent control because feral hogs can find their way through just about any type of fence. Terrain is also another consideration with fencing. Canyons, creeks, ditches, etc. present problem areas in the fence that hogs are sure to find. Chain link fence buried a foot underground, mesh wire fences in combination with an electric wire and electric fences have provided the best results. These fences are most practical for small areas due to cost and maintenance.
