[QUOTE="Jared, post: 3058848, member: 3725"] An astonishing amount of the problem is rooted from our public lands. Research has shown that a vast amount of the hog populations statewide have "started" on our very own WMAs. How? you might ask. Simple, people transporting hogs and releasing them for hunting purposes. No better spot to release than a place they can flourish and you can hunt. Other states have come to realize the same scenario has played out. Some have taken action to prevent it from happening any further, others have not. "Hog Dogging" is a sport only and not a management tool. I know lots of them, and most will tell you they fear that "we" might actually come up with a solution to control the hogs. They want them for sport and that is one of, if not the biggest problem. My PERSONAL opinion and wish is, that the State/Gov't had the funds and statewide landowner permission to full time aerial assault on the hogs until the mission is accomplished. Also, I think it is necessary to outlaw the sport hunting of hogs, only allowing landowners and their immediate family, tenants and agriculture lease holders to hunt hogs. Trapping of hogs could be allowed with permit from state and written landowner permission, and NO transport of live hogs. I apologize if you all have already hashed these points out, but I didn't want to scroll thru 300+ comments to find out myself. [/QUOTE]
