Feral pig numbers in the Lake Muir and Denbarker areas are at an all time low thanks to a united two-month campaign to rid the district of the destructive pests. Mr Higgs said all landholders were committed to reducing the pig population. He said traps were used as the primary method for pig control. Shooting was effective for single animals that were encountered during the project. In the Lake Muir and Denbarker area, the feral pig population had been steadily spreading particularly in forest and water catchment areas, and on adjoining farms.
