Looks like fun. We are a little too dense wooded here to be able to pull that off.

Your Country has had more than it’s fair share introduced and later become problems, species.
 
Some folks in my part of the states will tell you whoever brought the hogs in oughta get whupped. They'll root up everything... if it's not your cornfield its your garden... if it ain't either of those, it's your front lawn.

Yeah, that mobile shooting looks like fun. In my state, we're prohibited from hunting from a vehicle under power, but really, I think it wouldn't work in the Appalachians. Some states out west, it might work, but then it'd depend on legality.

Yep they certainly cause some problems alright.

Over here you can shoot them anyway you like as long as it's humane.

There's lots of places here where trapping or using choppers are the only option. I'll hopefully have some Chopper shooting up on YouTube soon.
 
I traveled to Sydney and Canberra in Nov 2018 for a business trip. Met someone who's brother hunted Kangaroos for a living. Saw more than few of them, mostly on the road dead. Welcome to THR. Love Kangaroos! Lots of rabbits in Canberra. It was a great visit. We are close to a business deal and will be returning hopefully later this year for another visit.

This may have been asked before as I went through the posts fairly quickly but it seems that where you are controlling the pig population that the country you're in is practically empty of human habitat? So why the need to do this?
 
I finally learned my first word in Australian English this week and the word is AR2209 which translates to H4350. I always enjoy reading posts from Australia so keep us posted on what is going on.

Milt,

As an invasive species pigs are incredibly destructive to natural habitat and in particular to ground nesting birds as they seek out and consume bird eggs. In addition they are incredibly destructive to agriculture and their rooting and does change and destroy local flora as well. There are multiple invasive feral species in Australia that are culled for population control to include, pigs, horses, goats, cattle, water buffalo, banteng, camels and I'm sure several others that I am not remembering at the moment. When you have species such as pigs that have no natural predators they must be controlled or they will upset the natural balance.
 
Thanks H&Hhunter as I knew there had to be a reason because the cost of an airplane to do something like that isn't on the cheap side. What you say make a lot of sense.
