Here’s a show that is already set to record on my DVR, “American Hoggers.” The trailer was more than enough to convince me it’s worth watching. So I’m hoping it lives up to the hype. Imagine, an entertaining show about a serious problem – the effects of the feral hog population in the United States!

Lifelong Texan Jerry Campbell has been in the hog hunting game for over half a century. His kids, Robert and Krystal, are hoping to turn Dad’s lifestyle into a full-time family business helping desperate landowners clear their property of destructive wild boars that are causing millions of dollars in damage. The family takes on their first job at a nearby ranch, but when their lead hunting dog, Rooster, disappears in the middle of the hunt, the family has to find a way to finish the job without him.

“American Hoggers” is a new original real-life series that follows the Campbell family and their struggle to rescue Texas residents and ranches from the devastating chaos caused by millions of invasive wild boars. As you may know, these ferocious hogs can be deadly to humans and animals alike, and can destroy acres of precious farmland in just one night! American Hoggers premieres on Wednesday, October 19 at 10/9 Central.

Meet the Campbells: Jerry Campbell has been hunting hogs “since Moby Dick was a sardine,” but nowadays it’s a family affair. Daughter Krystal “Pistol” Campbell & son Robert learned from the best, and now they help their dad hunt wild boar all over Texas.
