Add to that stopping the good ole boys from trapping and transporting them to new areas. The ones being paid by people for hog hunts arent helping either. I spoke with 2 guys who went on 2 paid hog hunts in Alabama last year. The "guide" would not let them shoot the large sows. Just boars and small sows. he told them he wouldnt go back to the same spot for a month after it was hunted. Said he didnt want to "kill out all his herd" All he was doing was protecting his future $. As long as there is $ to be made people will keep the hogs going.
