Not far enough. Let the sports hunters pay to shoot hogs. They get $2500-$5000 per person in Texas for a two hour ride to shoot hogs with machine guns. Look up “PORK CHOPPERS.” Helps pay for the costs of operating the helicopters. It is a win-win. Otherwise, you are asking farmers to pay all the costs of the helicopters, guns, ammo, etc.
Problem with these hogs outside of literally destroying the land and vegetation, causing the other indigenous animals to starve and lose their habitat, is that they breed geometrically. They can have two broods a year of up to 10 piglets in each litter and are fertile at 18 months. You would be astounded at the level of dMage these hogs cause. They are ruining the habitat for quail, doves, deer, etc.

“airborne sport hunting of hogs…where vendors … rent seats (and full-automatic machine guns) to hunters…”
What could possibly go wrong?
I hear the .300 Blackout is effective against the spread of hogs.
and progeny…
Dang, that’s a professional-grade comment! So short, yet powerful.
Good one!
Why not let the coyotes eat the feral hogs and then shoot the coyotes? #twostones
Coyote, unfortunately, can’t take down a hog, except perhaps a piglet. They’re practically made if steel.
Those videos of the guys that use those round cages with feed in the middle and drop them catching 10 to 30 of these babies.
