Living in Florida where the feral pig population is hugh and destructive I am certain that this is not a free range issue and it is also one problem that I can not see the military getting involved in no matter what happens. Here in Central Florida we can shoot a feral hog at any time. Most of the time the hogs are butchered and either eaten by the hunter or given to various food banks. When I first moved to my present house I was visited by several wild pigs who made a big mess of my lawn. Their names were Dave, Barbara...oh, forgot, not those types of pigs. In any event I spent a couple of nights watching from my second floor deck and eventually they came back and I shot 6 of them. The next night I shot two more and I have never had a problem since. I called a wild game butcher in Okeechobee who came that same day and picked up the hogs, butchered them and packaged the meat. Most of the meat was made into sausage which was quite good. It all was frozen and over a period of a month or so was given away to various people who were very happy to get it. I had no trouble finding families who wanted the meat and even though it did personally cost me a lot of money I enjoyed getting rid of the problem and enjoyed giving the meat away to people who appreciated it.
