I don't think that's a correct statement as much as people don't won't access to there land ... They are a major problem on crops ...

This is the biggest thing no one is going to be dumb enough to just let who knows what type of people have access to their land.. that can be more of a problem than the pigs... They will find or allow trusted people to do so and not have to worry about the hassle.. or charge and make sure they are covered on both ends... I have huge amounts of properties I can shoot pigs off of even if im just passing by and see some I know I can jump on the property and shoot... all these properties I either know the landowner and hes known me growing up in the area or I use to bale hay on the property http://www.j5tractors.com/

I just think it tends to be overstated in many cases. I see your point because I know hunters who actually want hogs on their lease. And I think it varies from place to place. Where I'm at I have no farming. But they do prey on some of my exotic offspring. In uvalde I don't have exotics and I don't notice much of a negative effect. And big lake doesn't have them.
