Ok so this thread is in another forum on this site as well as a different site. But since it was a teenager that was causing all the ruckus I wanted to know what y'alls opinions are on the subject.

Is it ethical to "pepper" hogs with a shotgun with no intention of killing them, just to maim them and run them off?

I'm no hog hunter, and there aren't many in Wisconsin, but I know they can cause some serious damage, so I'm going to say yes.

I'd just kill em, and have a bunch of bacon

if your going to shoot them kill them, it is not ethical(or legal for that matter) to shoot to main any animal IMO

just kill and if let em lay if you have too they are a nuisance animal besides do you really think your going to process evry hog what if you get like 10 of em that is a LOT of bacon JMO

i would never shoot at anything and not try to kill it. other wise its a waste of good ammo. why bother. if your gonna do somethin you might as well do it well
