This is already being done, but not on a wide scale basis.
You can actually, legally hunt the hogs from the air with automatic weapons. People have done it.
But it's really expensive, and not particularly efficient, nor is it methodical.
Hawaii has this problem as well, not the scope that Texas has, they have teams of professional hunters that go out at night to hunt them.
Folks want them gone, but at the same time they don't just want anyone running around on their land either. Some places in Texas have a bounty on them, $5-10, but you I don't know if you can just leave them to rot in place. With price of ammunition and gas, plus all the rest, $5 isn't necessarily a profit making enterprise.
I don't think anyone would want be around an area where 100 hogs were slaughtered and left to nature for composting. The ecosystem may well be able to reclaim only so much.
