There is no question that the overall economic benefit is equal to, or greater than, the economic loss created by their destructive behavior. In fact, because Texas has no income tax, farm and ranch profits are not their concern. The sales tax generated by hunters on the other hand, provide profit to the state.
The question is who bears that burden.... Only farmers and ranchers loose, which is what keeps doggers and trappers in the woods fighting a loosing battle on their behalf. At least ranchers can sell hunts to mitigate that burden but the farmers cant even come close to recouping the value of their crop loss.
In short, you are absolutely correct. The state is not going to spend the money required to eliminate a revenue generating resource.
