Default Feral Hogs

There was an article in yesterday's Daily Sun about the growing feral hog population in Florida, resulting in property destruction and spreading of many diseases. The Florida Water Management District conducts regular hunts to help control the population, but it sounds like it's not enough. Hunters are required to purchase a $75 permit in order to legally hunt these hogs. Plus, if you employ a hunting service, that is an additional cost. If the problem is so great, why not offer a bounty for killed hogs? They do it for pythons. Just another bureaucracy not thinking clearly!
