National Park Service

Description

The purpose of this project is to determine movements of wild hogs for disease modeling and control efforts in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Information gained from this project would significantly improve the capabilities and usefulness of the models, and provide information related to wild hog control and law enforcement efforts. Information from these projects will also be used to revise the GRSM wild hog control guidelines and GRSM wild hog management folio, as well as the development of a wild hog control strategy and plan for BISO.
