We the state cant make everyone happy can they? I dont see the problem with my suggestion. You have 2 months of permitted hunts, then you take that money and pay a professional to catch the hogs for 1 month. Seams like a win-win situation to me? I dont see who you are " taking them away from anyone"? No one will force anyone to buy a license, a WMA license, or A special hog hunting permit. Too many people feel it their Rights/Privilege to hunt the way they want too. Point is we need to do something to combat the hog problem. I dont have the answer, just like you, i have thoughts and opions. But i do AGREE that we need to do something.
