Pigs are getting bad here. A law was recently passed allowing the hunting of pigs from helicopters.

At first glance, I thought it said “Federal” hogs.

With the number of hunters in Louisiana allowing them to be hunted/trapped year round would be effective.

Most environmentalists do not like hogs because there are few critters who do more damage to an eco-system and they are not natural to the area. They also spread disease that damage native animal populations and destroy native plants.

Here is an actually decent story regarding Hog Hunting in Georgia.

I never realized that Wild Boars cause such havoc.

I have several friends in north La. who have acreage being constantly torn up by pigs. They trap them and kill them. I’ve suggested putting gps on a couple and releasing them. Then have a hunting party ready next time they’re coming by.

The feral hogs are out of control here too-they decimate gardens that are not fenced, and trample crops-but it is nothing like what I read about in that article.

They are bad tempered, big and dangerous, too-they don’t hesitate at going after a human.

Just about everyone who can get a place to do so hunts them-
a few years ago, some farmers with an eye for free meat started trapping those hogs, too.

The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has hired marksmen to shoot feral hogs
from helicopters flying over two wildlife management areas in south Louisiana.

Spokesman Bo Boehringer says he’s been told one helicopter squad can kill as many
as 300 hogs in a day. Officials estimate there are more than half a million feral
hogs loose in Louisiana.

I remember years ago nutria were tearing up the levees in Jefferson Parish. Harry Lee was the sheriff at the time and he sent his SWAT team out at night armed with .22’s and night vision.

I live on a private airport.
They can tear up runways or taxiways in no time.
We hunt them 24/7.
No problem even at night.

Feral hogs will soon be everywhere on the mainland. Are they any good for BBQ?

I have a friend at work who makes pretty good side money trapping a selling feral hogs. They are so prolific and there are so few who do what he does that he has an endless supply. The wild ones don’t get those hoghouse diseases.
