You honestly believe that sportsman, or, anybody, that finds himself on the wrong end of feral pigs would want to increase their population?

What the hell would cause ANYBODY to think that?


Because hunters have a pretty solid track record of introducing pigs (and other species) where they do not belong, just so they can hunt them.

Like that pheasant in your photo?
