I'm not just talking about farm land. I'm talking about turkey populations on adjoining properties or food plots neighbors plant for deer or just general browse such as acorns and low lying vegetation that deer and such feed on. The guy that buys a ton of corn or bran that he intends to feed deer with that has a bunch of hogs come in and destroy his feeder and eat all his corn has payed for ur fun. I know I am among the minority on this site and others when it comes to this subject but unless a person can keep them on property he owns or a group of like minded people own it should not be done. Lease property doesn't belong to the lessee and should not have non native species released on it. If for some reason that person paying that lease can not pay any more he has left the land owner with a population of hogs he may not want. I know this is a touchy subject with most because hog hunters don't see the problem but non hog hunters see the pigs as a problem. Another thing is studies show in order to maintain a feral pig population u must take 60% of the population. At first ur 200 pound rule may reach this but in a short time u will have to take a good number every year to manage this. In the end u will do what u want for the short term but the people that follow u will either see it as a plague or blessing.
