Hogs are estimated to number four million nationally and caused nearly $1 billion in damage during 2006.

 Antlers on deer are pretty interesting phenomena and have been fascinating people for ages. The annual cycle of growing, carrying, shedding and growing antlers again is more complicated than it looks, and it takes more than a weekend in the woods to come by a respectable pair…at least it does if you’re a whitetail buck. |
