How apropos.
Props to them for trapping properly too. Good job catching the whole sounder. Trapping or shooting 1 at a time does absolutely nothing to the numbers. Pigs have gotten crazy in TX. Lots of hunting and trapping operations have been implemented, and some counties are even providing subsidies for farmers/ranchers to incentivize them to participate. I was at a symposium a couple weeks ago and listened to a talk about this, and one rural county (just south of Austin) killed approximately 23,000 hogs last year. Whoa! Someone else started a company there, and they make dog food with all the meat. Hell yeah.

you have to do both, pigs are too smart. If you miss one with the trap, that pig and the every subsequent drift of piglets will stay out.
