Jeez, reading this list it seems the biggest hope is to have something that predates on the piglets or young. There is almost no way to stop them once they reach full size.
Specifically the section about how these things at full grown size can even kill a black bear!!!
- tristor 6y ago> There is almost no way to stop them once they reach full size. There is only one known way to stop a full-grown feral hog, and that's with a (big) gun. Unfortunately. So until we have a better answer, our best bet is to kill them as rapidly as possible. Even with all the lore and furor around it in Texas, hog breeding is outgrowing active efforts to exterminate them and the population increases every year and is trending upwards. They're also very aggressive, so enjoy that if you encounter feral hogs. I carry a large bore revolver with me when I go hiking and everyone assumes it's for bears... it's actually for feral hogs.

- tristor 6y agoPigs are smart. Traps and poison don't work as well as you might imagine. I'm sure you've heard the saying "Build a better mousetrap and the world will provide you a better mouse." or something to that effect. Pigs are smarter than mice.
