What do you believe is the driving factor behind the lack of population control?? Population too large, lack of hunters, breed too often, people releasing them, too much cover.....

We have coyote problems in my part of IL to the extent hunters cannot eradicate them. We may control the population, but can not eradicate which in my opinion is the majority consensus. But, we don't eat coyote. So, not many hunters willing to make the effort it takes to successfully hunt them. Most every hunter I know will shoot a coyote every time presented with the opportunity e.g. while deer or turkey hunting.

Thinking like a simpleton, I would believe if pork chops, ribs, bacon, and sausage were available 24/7/365 for the expense of a bullet people would have the population in check if not extinct. By all accounts I've read, the meat is good.

If the feral hog problems are as reported and shown by your video, why does it take $500+ to hunt private property in the south for an out-of-state hunter?

I hope the government does not start a poisoning program. Doomed to fail.
