Nassau County residents fed up with wild hogs tearing up yards

Wild hogs are going hog wild in a local community.

Neighbors in the Page Hill neighborhood of Yulee said they’re fed up with the animals invading area backyards.

Neighbors took cellphone video and pictures of a family of at least six wild hogs tearing up one homeowner’s yard over a span of several days.

“It’s a pain, they tore up my backyard,” homeowner Travis Ellington said.

Experts at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission tell Action News Jax that on private property, and with the landowner's permission, wild pigs may be trapped or hunted year-round using any legal-to-own weapon.

Using a trapper can cost money.

Keep in mind, homeowner Travis Ellington’s yard is in a neighborhood, so FWC said neighbors dealing with wild pigs should always ask their local law enforcement about what their laws are first.
