  • Hunters helping Farmers

    Hunters Helping Farmers was a joint program of the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to help alleviate the agricultural and financial damage caused by non-native invasive Feral Hogs. The Program ran from 2014 to 2016. Thousands of hunters signed up to help about 25 Farmers. There currently is no program to match up hunters and farmers.

    If you have questions about Feral Hogs Management please see the Department Of Natural Resources Division page on Feral Hog Management.
