Shoot tree rats.  Shoot P-dogs if you've got them.  Shoot Predators, but don't ask for hogs.  If you've got them, you don't want them.  They're trouble.

I saw 6 that had been ran over on highway 82 in North Texas,I bet that truck driver was awake when he got through with them. Also being from Texas I agree you don't want them.I shoot them and let them lay lots of times.There good eating but you must kill all you can in the mistaken belief you are keeping them under control.Chuck

Ditto what the first two guys posted.  You don't want them in your state.  Here in East Texas Feral Hogs are in towns rooting up yards and golf courses along with a slough of other things.  Would you really want something like this roaming your neighborhood?

I suppose the fantasy is better than the reality. I am just sick of going season after season with NOTHING in the scope here in Wisconsin because deer have been Public Enemy #1 for so long.......

  We don't have any sizeable population of feral swine in NY State.. but our Dept of Environmental Conservation doesn't want even that many if they can exterminate them.  http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/70843.html
   I love hunting too, and would like to hunt hogs..but not at the price of a hog invasion.

If they ever get a foot hold in your area it goes from excitement to regret fairly quick.Its amazing how fast they can destroy a crop in one night
an unloaded wepon is equal to the same mass and volume as a rock.

...and, I have posted some regret, in the Love-Hate relationship with feral hogs.  They are fun to hunt 24/7/365 until you want to shoot something else, and in that is the rub...there won't be anything else as the hogs are much too aggressive and will run off even the deer with the most headgear.  Hogs eat turkey poults, quail, eggs of ground nesting birds, snakes, rabbits, fawn if then can find a newborn, and tear the land up looking for grubs and worms.  There are places I am not certain I want to tractor for concern over loss of an axle or tire.  It is always something with pigs, and most of it isn't good.

I  believe  they  carry  some  disease  transferable  to  humans also,  someone  correct  me  on  that  if   I   be  wrong.

most common is brucellosis, but they
can carry plague, trichinosis, anthrax,
and several nasty-sounding hard-to-spell
diseases.
never got any of that yet( knocking on wood)
but i use gloves and mine get cooked good.
