The way to control big pig numbers is with lots of shooters doing a drive. Walkers and blockers. And disciplined shooters shooting safely. A Hunt Master knowing how to organise a drive. Easy with shotguns. Harder with rifles.
I would not be comfortable with trigger happy gung-ho sorts.
Night shooting with image instensivusing optics seems the most effective method in controlling stage populations of Feras in the last few years.
Good luck with that approach in Australia. The area's they cover are people poor. The only proven way is with baits and pig traps. Unfortunately we do not have the hunter numbers needed. This comes back to, The Govt's, Education system and nowadays, understandably, Farmer reluctance to let shooters on.
