When ranchers in the southwest, and Texas, stop charging hunters $500 per feral pig harvested on their property, I'll believe they are serious about wanting to eradicate them as a pest.

.22 air-rifle, good pair of binocs, good target identification... I'll bet if you harvest 20-30 of them in a day, you could make a very nice meat pie from starling "white meat". I'd use the word breast, but I'm guessing the new filter will censor it.
getting Ferrel hogs isn't as easy as you think. The ranchers are getting some money but hunting them, trapping them is a different story. Not easy. Much hunting has to be done at night because salting spots they soon learn it is a trap.
