YCT Yea.  HB 716 will allow landowners to sell helicopter? based hog hunting trips.    Feral hog populations are in? creasing rapidly and causing millions of dollars in property damage each year.    Helicopter?based hunting offers one promising option for feral hog eradication.  Opposition to such a measure suggests that some officials harbor misinformed assumptions about hunting, hogs, and profits.
