Every few months I read one of these agravating stories. There are lots of hunters who would love to go hunt pigs in Henry Coe park (a huge area just outside of San Jose). These same people (like me) pay several hundred dollars to hunt them on private ranches a couple hours south of here. But do you think the powers that be will allow it? No way. Not even bowhunters. They could make a lot of money selling permits, but instead they spend thousands of dollars to trap and release a handful of them, and in a few months it's right back to the same old story.

You are correct. However, I thought these folks primarily wanted to control - perhaps eliminate - the pigs. I guess not or they would be inviting hunters in. Beyond belief.
