We had a lot of funny trying to eradicate the pigs on Benning. Not sure the final body count but had to be close to 10k. Post finally ran out of money. Some days I would trap more than 10 pigs at $40.00 a tail. Of course I spent a lot on gas and bullets…lol
We made a dent in the pig herd but once the money stopped and folks lost interest the number returned to before we started.
If anyone ahs questions about pigs on Benning shoot me a message.

At Fort Benning, they call Major Bobby Toon the Pig Czar.
Toon has been assigned to help rid the post of an estimated 6,000 feral pigs that roam the 184,000-acre military installation.
The animals are aggressive foragers, gobbling up native vegetation and endangered species.
Toon is a former armor regiment company commander who has personally brought down 68 of the 900 pigs killed over the past year.
But he's not the only pig hunter at work.
About 2,000 people who are authorized to hunt on post have been encouraged to go after the feral pigs.
A $40 bounty is offered for every pig tail brought in.[/QUOTE]
