Interesting article in today's WSJ on hunting feral hogs. For me this is the money quote:
"Many states classify wild hogs as an invasive species and thus set no limits on how many a hunter or landowner can kill in a day. Some, such as Nebraska and Kansas, allow only wildlife officers to kill feral hogs. Then there are states like Texas and Georgia, which allow hunters to kill any number of hogs by any legal means."
The Texas/Georgia approach seems a lot cheaper and effective (folks even pay guides to go on these hunts). The not so subtle point here is that the cost of government is elastic and it is not necessarily proportional to the quantity/quality of services received. (I'm thinking about going on one of these guided hunts though - anything to help the environment!).
