My sisters friend in Ft Myers asked me to come down and shoot the hogs in her backyard. She backs up to a preserve and the hogs come into her yard and tear it up.
"Wild hogs may be trapped and hunted year-round with landowner permission. A hunting license is not required, and a permit is not required to take wild hogs at night with a gun and light with landowner permission.

Hunters may use dogs and any legal rifle, shotgun, crossbow, bow, pistol or air gun (including airbow). There is no size or bag limit, and either sex may be harvested."

I think my crossbow would be the best option, right? I need to talk to her and find out their movements and check any local ordinances.

Anything else I need to be aware of?
