Management:

            To set managing goals one must first figure out a

harvest number, how many can be killed.  The annual harvest 

goal is to take 20 percent of the accessible populations 

(Sowls, 1997).  This is found through surveying numbers of 

observed herds, the size of the herd and how many young were 

spotted.  In Texas most of peccaries are found on private land 

or leased out land where money is exchanged.  This area is 

surveyed a lot like deer where if there are to many they are 

shipped and not enough regulated for the most part.  If land 

owners abide by this rule of thumb economic benefits will 

occur and the management practice will succeed.
