I think TN DNR did the same thing under the thinking of "well, if we outlaw hog hunting, people won't release hogs into the wild." If only keeping hogs away was that easy.

This is what it seems like to me. Despite all the hog hate, lots of places love selling hunts for them and lots of folks, myself included, love hunting them. They're cheap, plentiful, and offer year round opportunity.

And absolutely destroy property, whether it be farmland/crops, residential yards and even cemeteries. Lots of places love selling hunts because it's an easy buck and there is zero management needed to ensure an over populated herd because of breeding and growth rates are so fast. They can also be a source of disease for the pork industry.

Well if they show up on the property I pay taxes on I'm shooting them!

That's great. But it says nothing for the damage they do. For those property owners that are playing both sides of the fence, don't complain when you get overrun. What you do on your own property is up to you, but when it spills out onto your neighbors, that's another thing.
