Yeah, we have almost ten million of these in Texas. I have shot them
and shot at them. They all need to be shot on sight.
Curiously enough Marin County suffers such an infestation
and I generally agree with your solution. Sadly Marin does not
agree or they would have been wiped out long ago. They were
imported from Europe to provide sport for the rich and stupid who
rejoice in the triumph over lesser mammals.
Online checking done in the past (this topic has come up before)
suggested that the Conquistadores didn't just bring horses with them
-- they also brought pigs.

Some of the horses escaped and changed the local cultures from
dog-power to horse-power. (No, really some used dogs to haul light
sledges with stuff on them.)

And some of the pigs escaped and are with those afflicted by them to

Yup, the Spanish Conquistadors and their pigs is common knowledge here in Texas. They dumped a lot of their pigs here and now we have ten million of the unwanted varmints. They will outgrow the human population here of 32 million in a few years.

Well you finally have a use for all those automatic weapons as the pigs will make excellent targets.

You obviously have no idea had hard and expensive it is to get an real automatic firearm, or how few people actually own one. Besides, your standard semi-automatic works best. One shot, one pig. Spray and pray is a waste of ammo. Bolt action is too slow when you have a herd of pigs to go through. Lever action is barely adequate.

ot the question. I do not advocate in any case "pray and spray",
unless you can get the pigs to gather in large sounders.
