Better yet, put a bounty on the pigs. Start it at $50/head.
That will get you 20,000 dead feral pigs for the million.

We’ve been killing and trapping hogs for years and we’ve yet to catch up, I kill everyone I see. For years my ranch rifle (the one that rides in the truck daily) was a Ruger Model 77-243cal, now it’s a Panther Arms LR-308. When I get into a sounder I want as much firepower as I can muster. Last year went on a helo hunt with my brother and we were both using Bushmaster 223 and all I’ll say is thats the way to go. We took out 76 hogs in a little over 4 hrs of flying time. This is not our trip but it will give you an idea. I rode the skids on a Huey back in 1970 and he was riding them in 68, we had a blast. 1500.00 apiece for a 4 hr hunt.

Thought that was a pretty good idea too, till I realized 20,000 pigs would be 4 tenths of one percent of the total population.

I gave thought to allow an industrial option, by allowing the collection of these for pet food. Make it profitable to get rid of them, and they will be gone.
