Armed with custom off-road vehicles, horses and hog-hunting dogs, the trio takes on these extremely intelligent animals that cause more than $50 million per year in damage to Texas alone, destroying ranch land, feasting on valuable crops and even killing livestock. The boars are as big as 400 pounds, have very hearty appetites and can be extremely violent, yet the Campbells never back down from a fight.
