At the risk of me sounding stupid- what difference would it make? Either way they pay no amenities and need to get off the course.

Amen. Time for a multi-pig roast. Roast the pigs on a spit over a fire. And the fire is built over a New England lobster bake covered with seaweed - which is built over a pit fire. When I was a kid my uncle's country club in Norway Maine would do this. Just wonderful!

Relocation of wild animals is regulated by federal and state law (if you capture a racoon in your yard, turn it loose in the Ocala National Forest or city park, and a conservation officer learns of it; you can be arrested). Wild hog is an epidemic in southern states, there is no limit and the season is never closed. If they turn the wild hog loose in a "wilderness area" it better be a licensed hunt preserve to be harvested (has to be fenced to prevent escape).

I say let them get to about 80 pounds and invite some villagers to come harvest them. I know a few guys that would be up for a local hog hunt!
amen and pass the ammo...can you say PIG ROAST

Tomwed said they have been "captured and removed".
We'll probably be seeing a drop in the price of golf-course pork.

On Redfish Run this morning I took this photo of a turtle----turtles will be much easier to catch. Most of us can run just as fast.

That soft shell has no desire for a foot race...I bet you can't swim as fast, nor hold your breath as long as that turtle can!

Can you point me in the right direction to learn more about the turtle? It was pretty large.

Florida softshell turtle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apalone ferox | The Reptile Database

National Zoo| FONZ

The key thing is to search using Florida softshell turtle or its scientific name Apalone ferox
