I thought having pigs to shoot was pretty cool for awhile, until they kept coming and coming. I'd say I'd shoot at least 10 a year myself, another 15 or so taking buddies out, and then another 15 or so with dogs and bowie knives. And they kept coming...I left most out in the field, and the coyotes got fat and happy, started noticing more coyotes, and less deer/turkeys. Then I had to segway to learning to coyote hunt. Found out they're pretty smart, and couldn't put much of a dent in their population. When I stopped using corn feeders, pig numbers reduced dramatically. Allowed some trappers to trap coyotes on my lease, and they tore them up. Last 2 years have been great for deer hunting, and the turkeys have also made a come back. That being said, I believe the pig numbers negatively affected my target species, I'm glad it's not like it was, to hell with them pigs!
