For those who may not know wild hogs are a highly invasive non native species. I know they tear the hell out of farmers fields. They multiply like crazy and a sow can get knocked up while nursing newborns and still rearing her older piglets. A good friend of mine who is an avid hunter was told by the DNR that if you have a hog population on your land and want it just to remain the same, not increase in numbers, you have to cull 7 out of 10 every year. It is legal to shoot them all year long, no closed season. Some of the local hunters on the board will probably have more info than me.
Pulled pork for me please!

What ssired posted is considered by our State wildlife officials a good hunt - good kill and very encouraged to do so. It's actually illegal to not kill that animal before removing him from the trap.
One of the barrier islands owned by the State half way between me and ssired has a sniper on the payroll to kill them year round in order to keep the population down enough to reduce them from raiding the sea turtle nests, ground nesting birds and reduce the impact on the islands natural inhabitants. This is on top of the 7 hunts allowed that include 675 people to participate.

I can't help but think that PETA or some other outsider tree hugger group that doesn't live within a thousand miles will eventually file suit in court to stop the hunts, much like they have done here in NJ for the Black Bear hunts. Some people just don't understand the need to cull a particular animal type, be it pig, bear, deer or whatever. And although it seems mean, it's actually far kinder than letting them slowly starve to death in the winter because there's not enough food for all of them, or, in the case of the pigs, because of all the damage they do to crops and to other species. Can someone say BBQ?

I've seen them destroy a field over night, looked like someone was cutting doughnuts with a bulldozer.
