With abundant forage in the form of wild hogs, in should come the apex predators. I hear Jaguars are becoming more common in AZ and TX - and those things are the 3rd largest cat in the world and males can top 350. That's a potential man eater there - but I bet they are eating well in TX. I would think that cougar sightings would increase in these hog areas, too. How's your cougar population in PA and WV? In Nebraska, the turkey and deer population spike resulted in a pretty stable cougar population. DNR actually created a hunting season.
