Concerns about feral hog activity in Lyon County seem to be easing.
Lyon County Game Warden Aaron Scheve says there haven’t been any feral hog sightings for weeks, indicating any feral hog or hogs in Lyon County early this year may well have departed. At least one hog was spotted between Emporia and John Redmond Reservoir as well as southwest of Olpe, although the initial concern was a possible herd was dumped.
Feral hogs are considered a problem animal because of the health issues they pose, including pseudorabies, tuberculosis and parasites, and because of the damage they can cause to agriculture and public infrastructure systems.
If you have seen a feral hog or hogs, call Scheve at 620-431-9873.
