In Texas, its becoming an industry.. wild game hunts.. people have opened their ranches, game.. I have seen African Antelope, deer of a multitude of species, elk, buffalo (bison), ect.. LOL.. with the ferral hogs.. farmers, in the past have encouraged hunters to come in a help control the population.. now I am actually seeing farmers charging hunters to come in and take hogs.. even when they are still a nuisence.. just another way of cashing in, on those who wll spend mony to shoot animals...

I feel with proper management, the animals can be returned to the wild, or managed properties, and still provide a source of income for the continued management and the local economy. Everyone wins.. if they approach it with a realistic goal, and proper management
