The state will give ranchers money to hire helicopters with shooters in them to shoot feral hogs. Sometimes I can here a helicopter then gun fire shooting hogs. When My family had a large ranch I hunted hogs all the time. We even had hog traps. We would also let people come over a hunt as many hogs as they wanted for free. Just to get rid of them. Like canklecat said they tear stuff up. They will ruin your whole yard and will even eat every seed in a farmer’s field right after it has been planted. Urban legend has it in S Texas this farmer lost his hog farm so he just let his 500 hogs loose and that started a boom in the feral hog population. No natural predators and they are a tough animal and smart.
