And just why would you want to trap them .... just shoot them on sight.

A mechanical engineer by training, Vich said he has trapped hogs for five or six years and sometimes nabs 9 to 12 pigs at a time, which he loads into a livestock trailer and takes home to sell to neighbors for meat. Turning them into bacon...

Stories abound about pig population explosions, yet go to any gun or hunting forum and you’ll find discouraged hunters who can’t find pig hunting opportunities. Land owners either don’t want the hunters or charge an arm and a leg to hunt pigs on their property.

“One of these days, people will figure out some useful purpose for pigs ...”
I live out in the country. My neighbor lady comes over and in her fast talking but southern style she says, “I hit a turkey with my car. Brought him home and fried him right up. He was delicious. You can only eat the breast on them things; the rest is shoe leather. And, right up there at the corner, somebody hit a little deer. Backed up and threw him in the trunk. Want some hamburger? Oh, no, it’s okay. Didn’t have no flies on him or nuthin’.”
A pig wouldn’t make it from one side of her property to the other...

There is an easy solution that is serendipitous with my love of bacon.

In Hawaii, feral pigs are hunted with knives—they call it pig poking.

I've a friend at work who does this and he makes pretty good money for catching them, people pay to have them removed. Then makes even more money selling them to farmers. Plus he's got all the ham and pork he wants. He enjoys the excitement of handling them too he's been bit and cut plenty of times.

If you can put up with a pack-a-day and “I’ve earned a whole week of sick time, so I’m takin’ all next week off drunk.”
