You obviously didn't read the new law because both of the things you mentioned are also now illegal! Also, hunting takes a very low percentage of hogs. It takes trapping and now aerial gunning like they're doing in Texas to really cut into a population. It looks like the IDNR is aggressively trapping them where they are seeing them before they can get a good start the way they procreate so fast.
