So why is it bad if a landowner is trying to recoup some of the cost of the damage by charging for hog hunting? I know many ranchers that will not allow anyone to hunt hogs unless they know them, $1 million would not get a stranger on their place.

If you want to hunt hogs for free go buy some land in Texas and have at it.

The damage they cause has an economic affect, no reason they shouldn't be trying to regain some of that loss caused by hogs.
