Are there any predators in Oklahoma that'll kill hogs?
Hogs have no natural predators in Ok that I'm aware of. Newborns may get picked off occasionally by a coyote, but if mama's in the area, it's not going to be a good day for the coyote.
that's what I was thinking...interesting problem
As a landowner I would be very hesitant in letting someone shoot them from a helicopter on my land.
Have to ask why?
Its just the thought of people I dont know shooting from a helicopter onto land which has livestock on it or pets. How am I to know or trust them to do so? I'm not even allowed to transport a loaded long gun in my own vehicle on my own land even though I can carry a loaded handgun, much less shoot from a parked vehicle on my land.
It wont make any difference in the population long term anyway.

A bounty would be great but they are doing the exact opposite.
How can you single out if someone is feeding them when every hunter has a feeder out?
This is true. But they are doing the opposite. The laws passed this year is causing an even greater explosion in population already.
Wolves only have one litter a year. Typically2-6. Pigs can have up to three litters a year ranging up to ten per litter. That's the major reason why the population is exploding.
The government had bounty's on coyotes for many years, hunted from aircraft, poisoned, ran with grey hounds, etc, and it didn't phase them in the long term.
Pigs are feeders of opportunity that feed on the move. They may hit a feeder, but if you shoot one, the others in the group just move to the neighbors that won't try to control them unlike deer that can get spooked off and a day later come right back.
Large traps that get the whole sounder of pigs seems to be the popular option right now with animal control specialists.
