Yeah, feral pigs are a big problem in Texas funny thing is people are will to pay to hunt them and then serious farmers and ranchers are willing to pay good money to help rid their property of them.
The places that charge to hunt them will never ever keep them in check and are out to make a dollar, a very effective way to help control hogs is through superior firepower through the air.
