Here in Florida there are quite a few who sit in the back of their truck and used dogs. The dogs go into the woods and chase hogs or deer back to the road for the lazy hunters.

Not positive about game laws in Florida but it is illegal to shoot wildlife from an vehicle on a road right of way in most states and Federal lands.

Hogs are not an indigenous species in North American and are destructive to native flora and fauna so hunting them to extinction(highly improbable) is helping protect the native species. Much like killing feral pythons, anacondas and other pets let loose and are now eliminating natives animals.

Deer populations are native to this continent but, thanks largely to man's activities, are exploding to numbers unheard of before the white man cleared away the forests and turned them into farmland and suburbia that feeds and protects herds from it's natural predators.

So despite PETA's and anti-hunting activist propaganda, legal hunters are actually aiding in the propagation of wildlife both by culling overpopulated species AND providing wild areas supported by by their hunting fees.
