I've seen Hogs seriously tear some stuff up, $800 worth of Wheat at harvest time, in one night, for a moderately sized sounder isn't unusual.

One twenty Hog sounder destroyed ten acres worth of Strawberries, after the harvest, in crates, waiting to be picked up the next morning. Hogs are smart, they raided those Strawberries right in the middle of a serious thunder storm, raining so hard visibility was feet not yards.

Our basic strategy is to keep the numbers down, hunt them often so they keep on moving and don't settle into one area. Kind of spread the damage around so no one farmer gets seriously hammered.

Here the Green party and animal rights people messed up the balance. Mostly through regulating hunting to death. And the same as much of the U.S., the farmers, foresters and land managers think they are sitting on a gold mine charging to hunt Hogs.

The down side to charging too much is that many of the hunters don't spend enough time learning to hunt, aren't very good at it and don't have the free time to pursue it seriously. You either have the money or the time, rarely both.
