We aren't talking about one or two pigs wandering into a backyard here. The sheer numbers are such that people who hunt them routinely end up shooting literally dozens of feral pigs in minutes, and it still isn't enough to keep the populations in check. Which is why USDA straight up says that "lethal techniques may be a more effective means for limiting population growth and achieving long-term suppression of damage".
