Just so the non-Texans know: Feral hogs are a hugely destructive beast in Texas. I attended a meeting of local farmers concerning them. One farmer said he'd lost 40 thousand dollars to them.
There isn't any method of hunting them that is banned as far as I know. You can bait them, spotlight them, dynamite them, snare them, trap them, laser beam them, AT-4 them, bazooka them, machinegun them, electrocute them...
Since we kill them to prevent huge losses on the ranch, we don't like leaving any reproductives around. We kill them all. The big nasty ones we leave lay. The little tasty ones we take to the processor. I think under 60lbs are the best.
We BBQ them, roast them, broil them, fry them, smoke them...
