These are imported wild hogs. Brought in by "enclosed" game farms for "pay to play" hunting. Of course sooner or later, they'll escape. They do very well in the wild, reproducing rapidly. They are very destructive to the enviornment, especially to established farming. They may carry and transmit various livestock diseases. They will be very unwelcome in urban areas as well. Basically an invasive species.

Any hunter, with any hunting license, or any concealed weapon carrier is authorized to take feral (wild) hogs. This new initiative is an attempt to remove the hogs at the source instead of cleaning up at the end. Many farmers in other states, where the problem has gotten out of hand, will tell you what a nightmare feral hogs are.
