Sounds like fun, but probably not a good idea in the long run.

Any way we can scoop ‘em up and carpet-bomb them over the Middle East ?

This problem would be over if TX offered to pay me to get the job done...

LOL!
I believe it.
Turn loose the Texas Cowboy Shoot crew out there and I believe we can take care of the problem for them.

For crying out loud. How in the world can there be hog overpopulation problem. Doesn't everyone know what you can make out of hogs?
Time to load up the AK and get down to TX before they are all gone.

This problem would be over if TX offered to pay me to get the job done... It's under the Fed's control, not TX..maybe they can pay. I actually think they should let TX handle this, then the state should sell raffle tickets to folks who wanna shoot hogs from a helicopter..I also like the idea of predator drones..Gamers could buy tickets to that raffle.

If those gubmint workers can only manage to trap 40 hogs a year, they’re doin’ somethin’ wrong.

Problem solved!

Not only that, they release them after sterilization.

Don’t need helecopters. Just let people shoot ‘em at night with spotlights.

What is the deal with aerial shooting? It that focus-grouped to cause commies to wet their panties, or something? What is the big deal with shooting some non-native livestock that are out of control? I wish they would just allow more hog hunting seasons. That would probably do it. And offer a reward for boar’s teeth. Cut the number of boars that can service the herd.

What is the deal with aerial shooting? Somebody has been watching too many Hollywood movies...
or they they can charge people some big bucks for an aerial hunting permit?

Not too familiar with that terrain — is it easier than shooting from horseback?

This feral hog eradication program is funded by a group of farmers who are taking progressive action to reduce the devastation done to their crops by these animals. Each and every feral hog is estimated to cause $1400 in crop damage during its lifetime.

Not too familiar with that terrain is it easier than shooting from horseback? Never been in that particular area, but I've been all around it. My impression is the refuge would be in pretty broken country -- lots of small canyons, gulches and gullies.
