I read the post to mean that TStro was heck-bent on hunting the pigs to PREVENT the damage the pigs were doing.
All the evidence is that hunting just scatters a sounder into multiple sounders and makes it worse. Several states discourage sport “hunting” of feral hogs and have programs to capture entire sounders.
Feral hogs are not game animals. The purpose of hunting is to manage a sustainable population. We don’t want a sustainable population of feral hogs. We want them exterminated.
