Wild hog hunting in dense brush with a handgun is not uncommon in California. You're definately dealing with a non-native pest AND it's a definate self-defense training scenario from hell!
I'm basically in MV's boat, haven't hunted yet, and that sort of "environmentally correct" hunting has a lot of appeal.
Only thing is, make sure you're doing it during that time of year when the suckers taste good . Seriously: depending on where you are, part of the year they taste like stringy crap on four legs and other times, they're the best pork you'll ever chomp. This depends on your area of course.
Plus you get the tusks for knife handles and the like. It's basically low-grade ivory.
