They are even rooting up our rifle ranges, here in Florida. We have "progressed" to the point in our knowledge of safe gun handling, that no one will shoot them for fear of being kicked off the club, so we have trappers come and take them off the rifle range. Go figure. The problem is that the hogs are smarter than the trappers after just a few get trapped. You have to remove three out of every four you see just to keep the herd from increasing. And they are failing to keep up the pace.
I live in a preserve area called Brooker Creek Preserve. They won't let anyone hunt deer even with a bow but pay professionals to come in and reduce the deer herd. I'll give them credit, they do it right, bulldoze up a berm, fill it with corn, set up a tower with lights, and head shoot them at night into the berm with suppressed rifles. It cost $180,000 to remove 165 deer this way. By allowing archery hunting, they could gather revenue instead.
