They fly in helicopters and can shoot that many in a day. Its usually very large areas (thousands of acres) with a surrounding game fence. Since the hogs have no natural predators they have to be removed somehow and this is one common route. Vastly different scenario then a small 50 acre place.

According to what I've read, hunting hogs from helicopters has made the problem worse. It's had the effect of scattering them across a wider area.

Unless you can guarantee you'll kill all the hogs that scatter due to the helicopter--not just the ones you see!--then it's likely counterproductive.
