That's even more incentive to make sure they stay on the land, like Ron was saying.

I've never understood the concept of a bounty on wildlife. Why would someone want to wipe out a species if they can make money on it?

That's why people transport the beasts around--because they can sell hunts and make money off of them. Demonetize hogs. It should be illegal to profit off of them in any fashion that would cause someone to want to move them.

It's going to take attacks from all fronts to reduce the hog population to even a manageable level. I don't care how many people are killing with traps or hunting them. If you are killing 1000s of them a night, there are 100s of thousands out there. And they breed like rabbits.
