the feral hogs decimated bird life in Hawaii.  Most birds there nested on the ground and the hogs wiped many species completely out. I'd like to hunt them as well, but shooting from a chopper would be my preference LarryT On 11/27/2019 7:35 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: Good

I do. Understand that the area I live in was empty farm and grove land 20 years ago. 10 miles from me (or possibly less) the area is still undeveloped for now, and it pretty much empty scrub or swampland. The pressure on wildlife from development around here is significant. It’s causing a lot
