[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1936433, member: 9675"] Thank you for continuing this in another thread. As you mentioned, Kansas is totally different from an ecological standpoint. When they barely have a tree to hide under, then yes, you are going to be more successful with helicopter depredation. While helicopter hunts are somewhat effective at hog removal, the costs it takes to do this will climb into the millions. It is unrealistic to think the state has the money to do this. It may work in some areas, but down here in Southeastern Oklahoma, it is impossible. The terrain does not allow for such tactics. It is already illegal to pick up a hog at location X and drop it off at location Y, unless you are licensed handling facility. They are routinely inspected, fences are checked, so that hogs do not escape. I don't feel that these facilities are responsible for much of the feral hog population. So by making yet another law to combat something that is already illegal is pointless. Do you have any reading that you can share on Kansas success stories or what is going on in Tennessee? [/QUOTE]
