Why doesn't everyone who likes pork in the States where these animals are just go out track one down and harvest it or trap it (any animal can be trapped or snared)?

Southern Oklahoma is overrun with wild hogs. There is a dearth of public hunting land in OK. There are restrictions on the type of gun that can be used in the WMAs: Centerfire rifles are not allowed outside of deer season. Farmers/ranchers here are not pre-disposed to allow hog hunting on their property, especially by strangers.
i'm a serious hog hunter and trapper. Hog trapping is slow right now: The hogs are on the wheat fields: Killed three last evening on a wheat field. The wheat is heading out: Hogs get a big mouthful of wheat heads, chew them up, suck the juice out and spit out the fiber.
We have had no trouble giving hogs away. But, and it's a big but; folks want hogs that are field dressed and skinned.
BTW: Be careful about chasing down and picking up wild pigs. Besides the fact that they squeal like mad and momma is likely to come running; the little suckers bite like alligators.
