Double Naught Spy,

The issue is the animals must be taken live. I'm not sure how wary hogs are of traps, but based on the fact someone isn't making a ton of money trapping them and bringing them to market leads me to believe taking hogs live is easier said than done.

As for not shooting animals and leaving them to rot, I get your point. I would call it pest control rather than hunting though. Maybe it is just semantics.
