I heard something about that ...I think it was in western NY state. The purpose of stopping the hunting was to allow the pigs to gather so they can be all killed by whatever means the F&W comes up with. I guess pigs are really smart and hunting them does reduce the numbers but that pressure just causes them to scatter making the problem worse since they are such prolific breeders.
