Ive heard of people "relocating" hogs instead of killing them so I thought about having a few dropped off.
You are very lucky not to have wild hogs on your property. As previously stated, introducing hogs to your property is a terrible idea. It's also illegal in many states.

Whenever the hogs show up on a property the deer suffer. Wild hogs chase the deer off game plots, away from feeders and water sources.

A sounder of 20-40 wild hogs traveling is like a big vacuum cleaner going over the land. They eat the eggs and young of ground nesting birds, tear up the soil for grubs and roots, causing erosion.

Some big hogs develop a taste for fawns, i've caught boar hogs in the act of killing fawns.
