      Unfortunately recreational hunters seldom provide any useful control, but often cause pests to be wary and more difficult for competent hunters to destroy.
      Where hunting is very easy this is less of a problem, but as this video explains, given teh chance many foster or dispense/distribute pests, so not helpful.

      The wild pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are native to Australia as they migrated or were introduced thousands of years ago. Papuan hogs and agile wallabies are now overpopulated in Cape York because dingoes are persecuted and very heavily.

    So here's what you do. Set up some feeders with fermented corn. The hogs eat the fermented corn, get drunk, and then when you shoot them, they're too hammered to run away. Entire sounder wiped out vs 2 or 3 out of a sounder of 40. They'll be critically endangered in the wild within a year.

    The pigs living in Cape York's rainforests are called Papuan hogs (Sus scrofa papuensis) and are very likely native to Australia as well as Torres Strait. The ONLY solution is predators. Dingoes need full legal protection and Komodo dragons need to be reintroduced. Komodo dragons are native to Australia, dying out after modern humans hunted all their prey to extinction. Camels, water buffaloes, scrub cattle, bantengs, brumbies, deer, scrub donkeys, Captain Cookers, and feral goats (feral goats have to go as they're causing extinctions) are perfect substitutes for the Komodo dragon's old prey as water buffaloes and wild horses are introduced to Komodo National Park and deer and wild boar live there too. No human strategy will ever work, it's like trying to learn something without putting in the time, you literally have to live and breathe this stuff for it to, which dingoes and Komodo dragons thankfully do.

    The possible way to prevent Wild pigs from going into areas to destroy crops . Is perhaps to build a wall fifty feet high all around the crop area. Plus : fifty feet deep . So if these pigs want to dig they will have to dig deep . Then at the bottom put sharp ( PUNGY STICKS ) .

      Wild/Feral canines like dingoes(brought to Australia by people), have wreaked havoc on native Australian wildlife. Driving to extinction animals like the thylacine and Tasmanian Devil on mainland Australia. And wiping out many other native species in the process. Hell...house cats and foxes, have destroyed many native Australian species.
      Could you imagine what even bigger, more efficient mammalian predators like big cats, wolves, hyenas, or bears, would do to the continent? In a few hundred years...there would be no native Australian species left, that are larger than wombats. Native species would be EASY prey for these types of predators. And predators go after the easy prey first, then they'd take out more difficult prey(like pigs).

      @@DB-jj8qn Tigers reproduce well enough to have HUGE impact on a place like Australia. And you can't count modern times, where tigers and other large carnivores, have been persecuted and driven to extinction in many places by people. If you go back as recently as the beginning of the 20th century(1900), there were over 100,000 wild tigers in the world. Today, there are less than 3,000. And if you go back couple hundred years, tigers spanned all the way across Asia, from China and Russia in the East, to the Middle East in the West.
      That's a lot of jibber jabber, for me to say that in a soft habitat(compared to their native land) like Australia, tigers would thrive. And without other large predators and herbivores to threaten them and their offspring, their offspring would have a high survival rate. Hell dingoes arrived on the continent, quickly established themselves as the top land predator, and ran rampant. Imagine what tigers, or other big cats would do.

      Shivam Joshi not as much as you think. I’ve personally shot coyotes that were 80-90 lbs. Predators aren’t stupid. They’ll go for the easier prey, like sheep. Have you ever seen how vicious a sow with piglets can be? No. It would result the same as when cats and foxes were introduced to cull rabbits. Look at the results. Bringing dingos back would only decimate the already fragile ecosystem even more

      And people being an invasive species...is really in the eye of the beholder. Humans, have invaded other humans and their lands, since the beginning of humans on this planet. So for example: Vikings showing up on the shores of England, in definitely an invasion. Europeans showing up on the shores of Australia and the New World, was definitely an invasion. Prehistoric humans arriving in areas that previously didn't have humans, and drastically altering the landscapes and ecosystems(like Australia), is definitely the definition of an invasive species.

Farmers… let shooters on, week after week, and guaranteed after a few months you’ll be pig free, else nothing will change, only get worse.
