Been going on for a LONG time now. Back in 2009, we had some moose hunters from Texas. One was telling me of the problem with hogs then. I mentioned that I wish we had them, and he said: "Daryl, no you don't. Once they get established, they over populate and cannot be controlled. We even have feeders for them, then the lights come on and we shoot and shoot and shoot. There is no controlling them. The breed too often for that."

I want to do a hog hunt. Not for trophy but for my freezer.

I think the "trophy's" (huge) are more in the Eastern States where at-loose domestic pigs have crossed with the Russian Boars.

One of the most effective control measures we have is Drought. Not wanted by anyone but it knocks the stuffing out of their numbers. The down side is when the rains come their numbers do not take long to bounce back.

The video says one thing. People say you have to pay to hunt them, it's not free. So the problem is they want to make big dollars out of their problem.

Do we stil have big problems with pigs here still?

At least in the South?

In the tropical North certainly big herds and numbers.

In the South hunters used to go to Western NSW and shoot 200, 300 pigs. Numbers decreased, access was removed. Drought hit numbers a lot.

Do guys still shoot big numbers of pigs down South?

In Western Queensland, yes in good breeding times, no in other times. I think we are entering good breeding times due to the rain.
