Extension Service, or freelancer, needs to learn some math on wild hogs

Just got a Far South Lancaster press release that says, amongst other things:

Texas Cooperative Extension estimated in 2004 that the population of wild hogs in Texas was between 1.5 and 2 million. If there were 2 million hogs in 2004, and that number has possibly doubled three times a year for the last three years, it could mean, well, a whole lot of hogs.

If this were true exactly 2 years ago, we would have just had our seventh doubling. Well, 2 to the seventh power is 128. Multiply that by 2 million.

I'm sorry, but Texas does NOT have 250 million wild hogs.

This is a clear example of numeric illiteracy.
