I would like to know what everyone thinks about this, DNR is limiting the harvesting of feral swine to just the illinois deer gun seasons. In some aspect it makes sense, but i would have went about it a little differently. Instead of banning the shooting of them year around to not provoke paid hunts, I would make it illegal for all outfitters in Illinois to sell or have "friends" come and shoot feral hogs. This way if feral hogs are on private lands the landowner can dispose of them at any time before they get out of hand and it also makes it to where outfitters and others are not encouraging people to come hunt hogs in Illinois.
