Shooting pigs is shooting pigs. It’s fun and should be legal. TN has tried the same BS.
If you’re actually serious about CONTROLLING wild pigs in a given parcel, then the only time you’ll shoot them is when the entire sounder is caught in a trap.
Hunting pigs and controlling the pig population are mutually exclusive activities, as you can’t shoot enough of them randomly to ever get rid of them. They just leave and then come back at some point. Notice that guys who shoot lots of pigs never seem to run out of pigs. I don’t doubt they’re having a ball, but they’ll never run out of pigs.
Thinking that state game commissions know squat about managing game and non game species is another mistake. We didn’t have coyotes 35 years ago and TWRA did less than dick nothing to prevent their invasion.
