> .. but if is legal in US, is legal. Definitely unwise in any case. It is only legal in a handful of states, usually those with insane quantities of feral pigs. In a lot of the US, it would be illegal. However in Arkansas where the person in question was, it was legal on private property. In nearby Alabama or Louisiana you need a permit, likewise in California. So in those states it would have been illegal. In Arkansas, Texas, or Oklahoma, there's no permit. In Texas, it's legal on public property even. Texas has a feral pig population nearing 2m, which causes almost (supposedly) half a billion dollars in damage annually. Or $50m. Or a billion. It depends on the study.
